Can't wait to see what he comes back with, if anything. Edit: I've just had this back from the seller... "Thank you for reaching out to us and highlighting this. I will pass it onto the relevant team in due course. Many thanks." So they didn't check before snatching a selling price out of thin air...and does no one contact anyone anymore? They always "reach out"! Bl00dy Americanisms. 😡 Make themselves sound like a major business corporation! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sjcm Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) Now on first appearances, this looks hideously overpriced, but then you realise it's got an 8 week warranty included and it all makes sense👍. Peace of mind that all parts and labour for repairs are covered and you don't have to pay a tenner for another one.

Swissrail Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I'm not sure why anyone would want this. It's not a collectible because it's been refurbished so no longer in original condition and it's far from an accurate model. Guarantee or not it looks hideously overpriced considering what it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjcm Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 It's got me thinking though... I wonder if I'd fall foul of eBay if I offered 12 months extended warranty on all Triang Princesses? Say 85 pounds for 12 months mechanical cover for parts. I could call it Jinty Insurance😉 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Nick C Posted April 20, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) Have we had this one yet: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334583631138 Hornby Purple West Country for £1500 - completley sold out everywhere apparently - except the half a dozen others on eBay for less than half that (and I consider those prices excessive...)

Swissrail Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) That thing's hideous. There's no way I'd pay anything like £1,500 for it! Edited April 20, 2023 by Swissrail 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveyDee68 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) The one at £1,334 seems a bargain, in comparison… Said nobody, anywhere, ever! OH WHAT FUN!

Hroth Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 If you're really desperate for a Purple WC*, there's one going begging for £650.

Swissrail Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Afraid not. He has (or at least he had ten of them, now he's down to two), but they're $144 each. There's a tick box just above the price to indicate how many (!) you want. Edited April 21, 2023 by Swissrail 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way that is worded, if I was dumb enough to buy it and only received one, I would be kicking up as it says (10) in the title and in the wording states it's for 10 as well. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
