RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted September 17, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 17, 2011 The starting price is reasonable enough - but this is like putting kippers and custard on the same plate! If you yearn for one, you may not want the other! http://cgi.ebay.fr/V...=item27be66b281 Yes people have some strange ideas (never you and I of course). Like this one - there's lots of kit there, worth quite a bit, but what makes him think someone is going to shell out a thousand notes (as Arthur Daley would say) to buy the selection of locos, track, controllers, and scenery that were HIS choice? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-Gauge-DCC-Model-Railway-Layout-Controllers-Locomotives-Rolling-Stock-etc-/290608906046?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item43a9a3ff3e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go for it if I had the cash knowing I could re-list the bits I didn't need. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unchuffed Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3cbc4c7e6d What planet is he on? Mint obviously means bent rear coupling and slighty scruffy. Why would a collecteor want a bog standard Jinty with non-original components? In that state nearer £9.50 than £95.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
