Or perhaps the lack of an out of focus group photo?

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 16, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2012 "Concentrating on Model buses" ???? Well you never know? He might be a dealer reducing his stock and hoping for the unwary to bid his BIN price but I doubt a dealer would be daft enough to try a lot like that and the lot content is the problem as it is not much good for most private buyers and his aspirations are rather off beam for a dealer's buying price (think £20-40 per loco, and there are more than a few £20 level ones in that lot). So I think he is probably a genuine seller just trying to make it simple for himself, and failing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Dienstleiter Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 This Austrian narrow gauge diesel in 7mm three-rail (the old Marklin Minex system) has been repeatedly offered at around Euro 300 and in all the times it has been on has never received a single bid. Neither have the other two he is trying to sell. You would think he would have got the hint by now. http://www.ebay.at/itm/OBB-Diesellok-2095-11-Spur-0e-Basis-Minex-/261067120758?pt=DE_Modellbau_Modelleisenbahnen&hash=item3cc8d02076 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted July 16, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2012 So eBay thinks it knows me better than me does it? I did buy the Railroad Evening Star, but can confirm I didn't buy the 08 detailing pack, coaches or totally superfluous extra tender drive Evening Star. OK I know it's an automated "suggestions" system but you'd think it could work better than this 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nth Degree Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 This poor chap has had his O gauge models on ebay for weeks. They look well made but are clearly over-priced for them not to have had any bids. By the time he does sell them the cost in fees alone would easily negate any money he was planning to make in profit. His items Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His items Maybe not over expensive if you compare the two Comet Models Pullmans for sale on their website (4mm @ £175 each) Could be just a lack of interest in those particular items.

By the time he does sell them the cost in fees alone would easily negate any money he was planning to make in profit. His items I don't think the DMUs are overpriced, nor even the carriages. But Ebay might not be the best medium for a more specialist item such as O gauge models. At the very least, he should have started lower to get some competition going.

Kenton Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Not over-priced but certainly not priced at a starting price to entice bidders in and create a possible bidding frenzy. I have a dejavu moment on the Westdale DMUs and am sure I have seen them go round the 0 bid route at least twice. Unfortunately you see this "overpriced start" all too often in 7mm often with sizable collections of items £320 might be a reasonable top-end of market price obtainable but it is a bit like asking for a "BIN", it is not going to attract those buyers looking for a bargain. Unless desperate to sell it needs to go back on the shelf. But then I get the feeling there are a lot of chancers out on eBay at the moment (all scales) with starting prices nearer to MRP than realism.

The Nth Degree Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 You must learn from reactions to your listings and be realistic. For example, I had an N7 with a couple coaches listed a couple weeks ago. Plenty of watchers but no bidders. The week after I lowered the start price by a third, still plenty of watchers but no bidders. Now I have to decide what to do next - 99p start maybe. I have since discovered that I had misdescribed it quite badly (claiming that it was possibly a Connoisseur kit, when it wasn't) and that the coaches were possibly Slaters, when I now know they are Kirk's. Incidentally, which pre-80s kit manufacturer made an N7 in white metal? Steve A corker http://www.ebay.co.u...=item33789de46c 2 hrs left to run - and details of the item tomorrow!
