Unfair to discriminate solely against ebayers. Did anyone notice that everyone's beloved box shifter in Sheffield were recently selling a large number of Modelzone, Model Rail and other recent Bachmann limited editions for triple, even quadruple, the original retail price? Or that everyone's even more beloved box shifter in the Liverpool area were recently selling, among other things, the SECR Wainwright for £250 via their own website? I assume these retailers bought them in for much less than that with the sole intention of selling them well above the original RRP to make a considerable profit. I would further assume then, that everyone on this forum who continually whines about 'ebay carpetbaggers' will be boycotting these retailers, forfeiting other items that may be heavily discounted from RRP, as a protest at their 'parasitic' behaviour?

The posts of 'billbedford' and 'Stanley Melrose' combined offer the most pragmatic and sensible comments on this thread.
