RMweb Gold JCL Posted August 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 26, 2014 A quick Google would show you that it has, in fact, been stored since bought in a cedar box (therefore fewer bugs) in light-tight conditions at altitude. So there's the added bonus that it smells nice too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andytrains Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 It's been independently checked (as I believe all such items have to be in the USA) for condition and provenance by the Certified Guaranty Company. It's genuine. It rates as a 9.0 on a scale of 1-10. There are only two 9.0 editions in the world - the other sold in 2011 for $2.1 million. This is certainly not a 'copy'. No-one's been 'had' - unless you know something that a highly professional company and a keen set of experts have missed. A quick Google would show you that it has, in fact, been stored since bought in a cedar box (therefore fewer bugs) in light-tight conditions at altitude. Some sad people about. Read the blo-dy thing and enjoy it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many modellers maybe, but looking at some of the 'decaying treasures' being hawked by some of the usual sellers on these pages, I'd suggest it's already happening!

Did throw in free postage though as I thought it was either Ebay or landfill. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mick Looks like they have given up ( overwhelmed ? ) on commenting on their negative feedback with usual " ....... , neg doesn't ( help)" and then doing nothing apparent to put it right, which is usually non-delivery or poor/damaged item.

HornbyA3Fan Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Why do some sellers get away with having a simple train, rolling stock, locomotives, or accessories for unbelivable high prices. Especially for that Class 142 in the Northern livery? Probably been on there for months (anything with a higher price), or (wouldn't have thought possible) years. Just a endless cycle on the same thing until someone without actually thinking purchases something railway based well above the original retail price when the DMU or similar was released some years ago. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Edited August 28, 2014 by HornbyA3Fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
