RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 23, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 23, 2013 One went at auction recently for £560.

jwealleans Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 A lot of the Wrenn made stuff is now more expensive than the HD originals and has come down a great deal since the really silly era in the mid-1990s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amdaley Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Is this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WRENN-W2305-WADEBRIDGE-SR-GREEN-21C107-/350697723417?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item51a7369619 that valuable? Only 93 of this model made so quite rare but not at that price. One went at auction recently for £560. Geoff Endacott That's about right for a mint example. I wouldn't pay that but a serious collector might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brittannia Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 But, come-on folk, it is not their fault that people bid high. (due to reputation, low postal charges, heat of the bidding) It is not like they put the starting bid up at a MRP or above - like some we have mentioned on topic. They are obviously doing something correct (perhaps god photos, fair and honest description, good packaging, prompt dispatch?) or they wouldn't be so popular. A couple of points {Didn't mean the pun]perhaps,3 month guarantee and knowledge of the seller? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he has not got a clue who made the Kits! He seems to attribute all kits to D&S, OK they produced lots of LNER ones but all his LMS coaches are "probably D&S" which none of them are. Now I just wonder if that is because he believes they attract a premium price? On a serious note just look how much 'stock' he is sitting on, his cash flow must be appauling.

Kenton Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) On a serious note just look how much 'stock' he is sitting on, his cash flow must be appauling. Tony The stock to turnover ratio would be far more indicative of any problem. Simply having a massive stock is in no way indicative of a poor business. If you are selling your stock at a turnover rate of about 9 days (for example) then he is doing very good business and will require good re-stocking to maintain that level of cash flow. Meanwhile a high stock turnover and healthy stock level to support it could well be used as a strong investment asset. Although his business is often - justifiably - complained about on here, not every item seems to be sitting around for months unsold like the Gaiety pannier. One only has to presume that the over-pricing model is still finding customers willing, presumably happy, or simply ignorant, to part with cash. [Ed] strange posting double-up??!

LNWR lives on Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Very much so, maybe worth a few quid to wheel and then attach a tarpaulin over and leave next to the shed as an abadoned loco until such time as proper time can be dedicated to sorting her out properly, tarpaulins hide many a woe!!

andyman7 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) "Simply stunning" - yep, in the sense that anyone operating it would be rendered blind by the WW2 searchlight attached to the front. If you think that's bad have a look at Cartmel's attempt to both present something as 'mint' and 'enhanced'. The finest untouched mint boxed R357 you could ever find wouldn't make £145 so why turning the front into a glorified Christmas tree would help is anyone's guess http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRI-ANG-Hornby-RAILWAYS-R-357-BR-CLASS-31-A1A-AIA-D5572-DIESEL-LED-LIGHT-MIB-/271090399169?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3f1e3f37c1&_uhb=1 Edited January 25, 2013 by andyman7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
