And point 3. The item is not available at any retail outlet and the container has a value that substantially exceeds the current retail price of the alcohol in the container. So it's the bottle that's valuable ? Judging by the colour, someone is taking the p*** or that cow is very sick indeed...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and I'm sure others as well) It's a particular shame in this case, as I've had a wagon off him before, and, though expensive, he'd actually done a very nice job! (No connection other than a satisfied customer, and I'm not defending the listings, which hardly scream 'professionalism', just thought I'd mention it!)

84A Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Right Ok Bachmann Class 57 "Lady P" just gone for £137.00 plus Postage Renumber and name project put on hold..... At least until Bachmann do another run.....please ! I happened to be browsing through eBay last night and saw this. The reason I never bought one of these a couple of years ago was because I wanted 'one of the boys' - the pink nameplates just didn't appeal to me. I remember certain model shops practically giving these away too - don't think they were more than about £45 (even less in places). That is true madness!

And the condition report is: Condition: New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item. See the seller's listing for full details. Even though it is definitely damaged, deliberately, and is not even supplied in the original box, was that for sale separately? Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
