wombatofludham Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 In the light of yesterday's announcement by Hornby of a much anticipated re-run of the Intercity liveried DVT, hopefully with a less vomit-coloured beige paint, I can't help thinking this is heroic pricing, especially as it keeps being relisted at the same price and has been for several months. Get the message chap, it's over-priced. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-R4435-INTERCITY-MK-3-DVT-No-82123-DCC-READY-MINT/283734378236?hash=item420fe306fc:g:~FwAAOSw7xZdq2h3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted January 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) A rather optimistic seller one has to think. Why bid for this at this price? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193282140063?ul_noapp=true An early style kit compared to one of these excellent 'modern' Judith Edge kits: http://www.ukmodelshops.co.uk/judithedge/kit/375 IIRC both saddle tank lengths are available.

RMweb Premium Neil Posted January 21, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2020 Normally 'madness' in this thread is taken to mean 'overpriced'. With this offering on e-bay I haven't a clue whether it's overpriced or not but there's madness in it's scope and quantity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
