KevinWalsh Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 If you really want to see madness on eBay you should look at the ridiculously stupidly high prices some people pay for Homepride Freds; her indoors has an extensive collection of them got for small amounts by looking around and not getting carried away, mind you it's very tempting to list the complete collection to fund layout purchases Kev Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Stationmaster' friends and colleages didn't believe it possible to actually sell empty boxes until they saw that happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 One of the first things we ever sold on Ebay - about 5 years back - was an empty Dinky Toy box, it went for 21 quid. Mrs Stationmaster' friends and colleages didn't believe it possible to actually sell empty boxes until they saw that happen. That must have been a gratifying moment, though. It's almost up there with selling old rolls of bubble wrap.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve K Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item1e5bd92fe7 An EWS-liveried "Deltic" anyone? Surely you know that "Deltic" simply means "diesel with long nose"? Class 37? Deltic. Classes 44/45/46? Deltic. Class 23 (slightly shorter nose)? Baby Deltic. It's common sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted May 13, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 13, 2010 it is very common for class 37s to be described as "Deltics" not just on ebay. I agree it's that long bonnet big diesel thing ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClikC Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 When i was very young, I asked my rents for a lima class 37 in blue for Christmas. Christmas day came and I un-wrapped Royal Scots Grey. Still, in the days before DCC sound, the lima pancake motor did a remarkable impression of a deltic. Regards Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve K Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 When i was very young, I asked my rents for a lima class 37 in blue for Christmas. Christmas day came and I un-wrapped Royal Scots Grey. At least it was diesel - you should be thankful. I expect my parents (bless them) would have listened to my request and bought me a Flying Scotsman - "It's a train, isn't that what you wanted?" And I'd have been grateful, obviously... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragtag Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 In fairness, to the untrained eye, classes 37 and 55 are visually similar - moreso than peaks etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Emily Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 How's about this listing for zero information. How are buyers supposed to make their mind up off no picture and a listing that simply says "class 29"? For all I know if I bid I'm actually bidding on the whole of class 29 from Eagley infant school.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted May 15, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15, 2010 Seems to operate a rather bizarre policy on some items where if you purchase a book, he then buys it off of Amazon and then gets them to ship it direct to you which in my book (err, no pun intended!) means he does not actually possess the item he is selling as well as trousering a very tidy profit in the process. VERY dodgy in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandc_au Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 If that is what he is doing, he is running a real risk that he will sell a book and go and find that the cheap one on amazon is gone and could get his fingers burnt. Khris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
