RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 12, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2011 This is sad. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bluebell-railway-0-6-0-terrier-loco-stepney-maunsell-brake-compo-coach-LTD-1000-/270851847128?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3f100733d8 Presumably the original sale brought a benefit to the preservation society, but I can't imagine the price was anywhere near that being asked here as a starting figure. I'm also a bit puzzled by the date on the pictures, not having realised Hornby Maunsells were around in 2006. Any ebayer looking for a Terrier with a BSK could get them for about £100 less in other liveries, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Neil Posted November 12, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 12, 2011 Now up to £92! http://offer.ebay.co...em=110772912153 Now at £107 and with six days eighteen hours left to go, for a wagon? Good news I suppose as there are at least two people who seem unaffected by the global recession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium petethemole Posted November 13, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 13, 2011 He has another, 3 days behind, reaching a similar price with 2 of the same bidders. However it's listed with the same photo. I'm inclined to think that this guy has a reputation for good work and the bidders know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddys-blues Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I know the guy selling this model. He is a VERY good modeller and he may have even mastered his own kits. Tony Hi is this wagon model from a Southern based EMU layout that was in Model Rail some years ago "I can't recall the layout name properly" but the layout I remember was something relating to Sheppey or the Isle of Dogs.

RMweb Premium Neil Posted November 13, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 13, 2011 I know the guy selling this model. He is a VERY good modeller and he may have even mastered his own kits. Tony I'm sure he is. Though it's difficult to tell from the e-bay photo (a bit small) it looks to be well made, painted and weathered. In one sense perhaps the £147 the pair of wagons are now at represents a fair price (time, skill and effort) but I'm surprised that someone is able and happy to pay what will be the best part of £300 for a pair of wagons.

They do look particularly nice, but if I wanted to pay that sort of money for a second one I would want to see a picture of it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sheerness-steel-scrap-wagon-PXA-/110774756739?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item19cab0a583 The pictures look to be one and the same shot?...but then it is a market...!

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted November 14, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 14, 2011 I haven't sold anything for a couple of years now, but when I have 2 or more of the same item (if selling separately) then I simply print a number '1' '2' '3' etc and include in each photo, just in case there are minor differences I hadn't noticed. Not rocket science and hopefully gives buyers confidence they're bidding on the right picture and received the right item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
