ThaneofFife Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 are those kit mags weekly or monthly? that mallard would cost over a £1000 if you stuck with it to the last issue..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy2 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yup. I think it's effectively weekly, with 4 parts per month sent together. Which seems a bit odd. I did notice that on the website the cover shots looked like the casing was resin cast, but the detailed pictures looked like white metal. That would be a big lump of white metal in O gauge. I wonder how many people actually finished the Flying Scotsman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NRM certainly haven't finished their Flying Scotsman - not sure which issue they missed and which parts they need Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Abel Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) I don't care how rare/exclusive/limited edition it is, I still can't see paying 86 USD for a Bachmann coal wagon???

Around £750 could buy you a Finney kit (no better quality) including the cost of wheels, motor etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted August 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2014 Over £100 for a Hornby 25 is not going to happen. However, these are not box standard 25s but modified to produce 24/0 and 24/1, quite a bit of work, I've done a couple back in the 1980s. Still not worth over £100, but I'd much prefer the based on the Bachmann base model, and the forthcoming Bachmann 24/1 is less than £100 anyway.

At those profits , he's making a good income even with Ebay fees.. I just can't understand how he generates those volume of sales - Its a lot to buy yourself through other accounts.

RMweb Premium petethemole Posted August 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) It's a business, not a person, ostensibl based in USA but sourcing their stock from all over. They sell advertise a lot photographic stuff. They don't appear to hold stock but probably order it in response to the orders on ebay. Apparently a lot of orders appear as out of stock, so maybe they can't always get what you order.They no doubt trade under other names as well on other national ebay sites. Even their mail address in New Jersey may not be their real office; there are a number of businesses using what appears to be a warehouse unit as an address. Trying to track them down via Google led to companies mainly importing from China but it wasn't possible to identify a particular one as being the parent as it were. I certainly wouldn't buy from them, even if prices were reasonable (their photographic stuff appears to be more comptetitively priced .than their trains) Pete edited for typos Edited August 29, 2014 by petethemole Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium petethemole Posted August 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2014 Curiously one listing I found includes this: Please note: This item cannot be returned to Amazon.com 'All Listings' total 1,364,454 across a wide range of categories. The business name, Nexcellent Inc, or the Nexcellent Corporation, trades in USA as BESTDEALUSA and are Amazon traders and also trade through Tumblr and other sites.

Bodmin Bob Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I don't care how rare/exclusive/limited edition it is, I still can't see paying 86 USD for a Bachmann coal wagon???

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) More like watching it to see if anyone's silly enough to pay that price............. and then sell their own for a similar profit (and no - I haven't got one) I was watching the recent comic sale that went for $3M plus - no way was I interested in purchasing!
