RMweb Gold BoD Posted March 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2018 This post is not so much about the possible madness of eBay buyers/sellers as the apparent madness of eBay itself. I did my usual search for N gauge this morning. Now I have become accustomed to the occasional rogue result either due to stuff being listed in the wrong category or the eBay search showing stuff just because the title includes an N, but today's search results included: Christmas Cards Valentine's Cards Colouring Pens Dulux Paint Deoderant for Athletes Treatment for a Unitary Tract Infection ! Perhaps they have 'profiled' you from previous purchases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently professionals remove gangways with an axe, and forget to glue at least one of the windows back in. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202079451601 Edited March 8, 2018 by nightstar.train Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missing gangway looks to have been chucked into the end of the coach as it looks like there is something rattling around in there - besides the missing window.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 9, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2018 If you select the 'See Original Listing' option it shows 38 bids And 10 of those by the winning (0) bidder and a further four with a (0) rating. At worst, if the winning bidder defaults the next placed bidder get a chance of it for £599......... Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Shill bidding by the 0 feedback bidder , 100% bidding only on this seller sales, by the "person". Click on his "activity" to view his bid history. Upping the price and people are daft enough to fall for it . The seller needs to be reported to eBay, by all the other bidders, and don't pay on the second offer !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Thomas 9f is getting £600, there’s a Thomas A4 on there for £500... Looking in ebay History at £609, it was neither greatly over average (7 have sold over £500) nor the most expensive, which sold at £830 !!! Clearly Hornby is making the wrong A4s and 9F’s right now.

It puts SWS duchess in the scrap bin at these prices. I suspect that they make that sort of money now, ( ) because they didn't sell the first time around. (Murdoch and Spencer aren't the most exciting characters - I think they've been quietly dropped in favour of new PC female engines. Not that I follow the revised Thomas much....)
