RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted July 10, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 10, 2020 To be fair some Poole era Farish items could become a kit of parts rather easily when trying to replace yet another dratted cracked gear and giving up, Definitely not worth that much for a tarted up old tooling Farish 37 though, sixty to seventy five tops.... I wonder if this is one of the usual suspects with a new Ebay username? Seems the same kit built spiel I have seen before and has been highlighted in this very thread many a time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveyDee68 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Shill bidding was mentioned earlier... I recently won an auction, but looking at the list of bidders I was intrigued to see the following “names” (they are always anonymised)... a***a g***g j***j o***o r***r All in one auction ... I mean, statistically, what are the chances of getting so many bidders for whom the first and last letters of their names are the same?

Ruffnut Thorston Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) If you want to see a large quantity of questionable listing descriptions, try seller Rocket Railways.... I can't believe some of the descriptions... Ok, Trix with the PECO type couplings could be mistaken as Hornby Dublo....could... But the Budgie "Jinty", a " non runner", no stuff Sherlock... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114286810241 Possibly something to do with the lack of a motor...and if someone actually tried this on live track, most certainly a short circuit would result...it's a diecast toy... Note, no photo of the underside! Oh, and no...not repainted either... What did they think it was?

Steve S The 'names' are entirely ebay generated and bear no relation at all to the actual username. The ebay algorithms are very good at picking up attempts at shill bidding. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
