As for the hot actress, they usually have a "best before" date so prompt full use is advised...
Indeed. Once they decide to visit the plastic surgeon, the "hot" vanishes pretty quickly.

Pictures and a listing of the contents would help....
The listing is titled Hornby Dublo but below the description includes:
Material: Tin
Scale: O Gauge
Please note these are old approx 50 years +
So it's not Dublo and if it's tinplate try 70 years +

I've contacted that seller and said, "A picture of what's actually in that box might be useful".

Look at the postage. Even for the USA, that's insane!

More old motor eBay bidding insanity. Buyer listed at 99p, currently 90 pounds. For that you get two rusted solid transcontinental motors, a rusted solid X03, 1 lima? motor, 1 tender drive unit, assorted stripped down pancake motors and various bits. What am I missing?
25 bids for that pile of useless junk? Fools and their money spring to mind. That lot looks as if it's been lying on the floor of someone's garage for the last twenty years.

Looking at the bidding history, two bidders drove the price up, one with a feedback score in the mid-300s and one with a feedback score in the high 3000s Low score put a maximum bid of £98 and High score nibbled away at it until they found the top. Must have wanted them for some reason, £25 a coach, not particularly new with old style metal TL couplings.
Why don't people wait until towards the end before bidding? All you're doing by bidding early is putting the price up!

Another fine offering from our old friend Gosturd:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334811248267?
"BOXED
EXCELLENT
Two un used 5 pole motors with many uses."
Yes, I can think of a few uses for a couple of ancient motors.
£49.50 for two old technology motors covered in rust? I want some of what that guy's on!

This seller reckons the item would be perfect for a ''vintage photo shoot''
Words fail me.
The only thing that wreck is ideal for is the bin and this mendacious chiseller wants twelve notes for it? Good luck is all I can say.

They don't seem to get it that repainting a 'collectable' knocks zeros off the value!
The very fact that he's called it a "train station" platform shows he knows nothing about this subject.

Has Ebay pulled it for him this time I wonder?

Its a bit more expensive, but not hugely so than the other people offering it. Living outside the EU puts the price up a lot.
By the time I get them here from the US a single boxcar from the likes of Moloco or Tangent can be £80
Fortunately I have relatives in Italy and I often have things sent there and I pick them up when I visit. It reduces costs, particularly postage, significantly.

But they're early Rivarossi so built to the overscale 1:85 and not flush glazed. Not good.

What am I missing? Price?
Yes. £176 for four four-wheeled wagons is a just a bit on the steep side or am I being overly critical?!

It's actually an acronym...Anonima Costruzioni Modellistiche Esatte which literally translates as Anonymous Exact Modelling Constructions. A very strange name indeed.

I've just looked at the individual pictures. One or two of them aren't 100% straight and they are early Rivarossi so built to 1:85 rather than 1.87 making them oversized, not flush glazed, ropey bogies, poorly rendered FS insignia and one or two of them in not very good condition. They're not worth £125. Models from that time in Rivarossi's history are worth maybe half that. Maybe.

Or is it simply a case of them being photographed with a wide angle lens from a short distance? That’s what it looks like to me.
Could be I suppose but you'd think if that were the case they'd take a better shot if it's all any prospective buyer has to go on with regard to the condition of what's on sale. I could use them but not on the basis of that picture.

Rails of Sheffield at it again...
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204268011852?hash=item2f8f52814c:g:EhUAAOSwm4JkCLRz
"Very good, boxed condition" they say. They have, rather more importantly, omitted to say that they've all been in the sun for a while and have taken on the attributes of the common or garden banana.

Wow! That's a fairly major three dimensional jigsaw puzzle. Just matching up those parts with the correct models to make complete kits would be a full time job in itself. The problem might be that there isn't a full kit in there, just a pile of disparate parts. A serious punt at £260.

Models shown in photos are not for sale.
They are if you go to his Facebook Marketplace page...and therein lies chummy's problem which we've all made sure he now has. 😈

EBay madness

I've asked the seller if this is some kind of joke. "Cos I ain't f***in' laughin', Nich-o-lar$e!"
