pH Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 $19.99 US, plus $13.00 US postage to Canada for two sheets of documentation for a brass loco, with printing on one side only: https://www.ebay.com/itm/paperwork-for-ho-brass-hallmark-models-missouri-kansas-texas-railroad-mkt-4-6-2/183749923463?hash=item2ac8595287:g:6MwAAOSwlLlcNU3E&redirect=mobile IMO, this is even further out than selling empty boxes.

This one was the one today: Adderley Hall AU$277 to get this apparently rare Hornby Railroad Hall class delivered to my door here in Australia, from an Australian eBayer. Apparently "This locomotive will be a great investment as few have been made and is sold out in the UK". Makes me wonder then why I can get the same thing, shipped from Hattons, delivered to my door, for about AU$90. Having amused myself scrolling back through the eye-watering ebay offerings, I thought that as well as the general misrepresentation in this Australian ebay posting, the heavy handed threats at the bottom were worthy of notice. Hattons might also be interested in the appropriation of their image to illustrate the loco on offer.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's very little chance indeed, in my experience, of Ebay suspending the accounts of a non payer. Several RMweb members have been affected by this serial offender. The Ebay member is still active, and according to the feedback left is still offending. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
