Or am I thinking of someone else? That would make sense of his eBay handle Go Stude. I do hope that he has the good taste to make his Studebaker one of the pre 1960 models. The Avanti, though rare, is evidence that the cracks were beginning to show in the American auto industry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make more sense if he was selling multiple examples of the same thing but didn’t have any in stock (so put up the price temporarily to stop people buying them) but this seems very strange. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is very reassuring to know that "Postage will be by Hermes Tracked delivery at no extra cost to the buyer."

jonny777 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Can someone give me a clue to what this bidding pattern means?

MrWolf Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 He only needs to put a few more bids in at a few pence more than the last to make it look to anyone sniping that he has had second thoughts and upped his final bid by a lot. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andytrains Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I have heard that old signal box registers are quite rare. (Don't know whether that is right or not). Apparently they were stored in the signal box, somewhere, and when the box was closed and demolished they were just disposed of. (This came from one of the True Line mags, (Caledonian Railway Association)). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted November 8, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 8, 2020 2 sets of Peco 7mm buffers, normally around £8 each new, so £16 the pair. Not hard to come by. Were £4 with an hour to go, went up to £10 with a minute left, late flurry saw them sell for £21 plus postage - well over the new price. Given it is a bit foolish to wait till nearly the end but then leave a minute for people to outbid you, i do wonder if the £10 was a tempter to get someone bidding higher - which has obviously worked in this case! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted November 8, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 8, 2020 Instinct is telling me that the two bidders who slogged it out for this one may just have failed to read the description properly as that is an awful lot of cash to part with just for an old Poole tooling Farish body with a mediocre repaint job.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GRAHAM-FARISH-N-GAUGE-CLASS-20-BODY-RAILFREIGHT-20074-DIESEL-LOCOMOTIVE-/353259430523?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=vr1D8EACg4kctcoHqADBhQjTx7Q%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
