PieGuyRob Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 He has a collection of Studebaker's to run, so needs all the money he can get. I can't imagine the fuel bill being cheap. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2021 I looked at his other items, all overpriced except for some plastic kits including an original Kitmaster prairie tank in unmade condition. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Well he's still in business and a collection of vintage American cars isn't exactly a sign of a bloke with no money. He's probably doing better than most of us. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably doing better than most of us. He currently has four Studebakers for sale on ebay, one listed twice at different prices! A look at his other items for sale, listed at highest price first, shows an interesting and eclectic selection, many at seemingly very high prices. Given the number of items he has for sale and his ebay rating, he seems to be getting it right. An indication of the "collectors culture" he is selling into? Edited to add. He is adept at ascribing items in headings to well know highly regarded builders, then saying *possibly by" in the body of the advert . He has one Gauge 1 carriage I rather like the look of, but at his prices and descriptive record I wouldn't consider buying it without being able to inspect it first hand.

Well into O gauge territory. "One coach has the bogies supplied loose for you to glue back into position. It is also missing one buffer." For this price I'd expect them to be mint - not needing repairs and replacement parts... The pricing makes no commercial sense? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally it didn't have a sound decoder inside, but I've got a Hornby TTS Valenta decoder that I haven't installed in an HST yet. Or perhaps a Coronation Pacific decoder instead... Might be fun! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
