RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted March 4 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4 Mendacious chiseller trying to cash in on patriotic feeling for those lost in wars, apparenly unaware of how deeply offensive and insulting this is to those lost in wars and their families. If he's really unaware, that is inexcusable, and if he is aware, then that is despicable. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted March 4 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 4 12 hours ago, The Johnster said: I suspect that the reason for this may be that he retails at a set percentage above what he paid, I'd wondered similar Equally though, presumably all his listings help support the stock valuation on his balance sheet. I used to audit an antiques dealer who had a back yard full of lumps of concrete which were all, (supposedly) 4 and 5 figure french fireplaces. In 5 years I never saw any of them sell and they went bust eventually! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with model railway listings, you just need to decide to buy or decline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjcm Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 It's that guy with the 1k toothbrush anyway. He's either mental or money laundering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeaky Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I was looking for an OO Hornby Class 08 and came across this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276235988453?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2IwrB5T5RLG&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=0s3Wp3YhSam&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY They have used AI to describe it which states "Although it has been previously owned, it has been well looked after and is in great working condition" But looking at the 3rd picture, I'm not sure it is great working condition! 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the wheel treads as well as the dodgy coupling rods I'd say that it's done a lot of miles before an axle packed up. Possibly worth the risk of whether or not you can repair it if it was £22 rather than £122. 😆 Edited March 4 by MrWolf 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that sort of previous owner, I’d stay well clear, gears are likely to be shot as well. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjcm Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Not so much a listing but a cry for help. For just 5 pounds a month* you can save these wretched items and The Enemies of Thomas will receive a donation enabling them to hunt down the culprit and confiscate his humbrol paints and plastic faces. (*29.3% interest via PayPal credit) Warning: cruelty to model trains Also an early candidate for a eBay bidding frenzy? Like it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium TinTracks Posted March 6 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 6 I've noticed that spare tenders for the old Dublo A4s ( and other locos) are sometimes fetching what can only be called bonkers prices. I suspect that this creation was born from desperation. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305435066509? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it's a LWB wagon chassis, I wouldn't trust it at normal A4 speeds! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
