Looking at their other items, I did see one at $19.99- which naturally is not even worth it. A silver FM shell & railings offering. Except at least two of the railings are broken and the cab glass is also painted over.
Looks like some of this stuff came straight out of the trash dumpster. I am sorely tempted to put a picture of my trash can full of garbage on a hot and steamy day up on Ebay and charge an ridiculously high price for it.
Is this flex track that good he can sell it for $25.00? https://www.ebay.com/itm/193071187336?epid=26008801393&hash=item2cf3f08588:g:F74AAOSwqVNgu9HY
Google Fleischmann 9106: length is 30.6 inches, apparent list price is $15.29, one store in NC has only one for $13.76 and one store in FL has ten at $11.50 each. It may be worth $25 to someone, but it is available elsewhere for less (depending on shipping charges).
Just for fun, I searched EBay for one of my 'usual' searches. It appeared that there were substantially fewer auction listings. Eight pages of matches but only one page of auction listing (and I only bother with the auctions since the BIN prices are always more than I am willing to pay).
Glad that this one didn't get past me -- a fifty year old Arnold Rapido FA for only $189. This wasn't a terrible model for its era, with decent performance and a metal body shell for great traction, but the decimal point needs to be moved one place to the left. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255201661118
Not quite ebay however FS: Nov 01 Vars N Scale the $ on the MINITRIX U28C ? whereas others seem reasonable. Tom
All , I Think the seller honeypicker.. AS IS SHELL & RAILINGS ONLY ASSORTED N SCALE LOCOMOTIVE SHELL SEE PHOTOS | eBaygot this from someone else which has no Clue whatsoever and used this paint heavily 1290 Chrome Spray Enamel | Hobby Lobby | 1046 on it and got the decals from the same place, A Toy Train and Collectible Shows one of those so- called Train Shows which includes Everything from Miniature Furniture Tonka Toys,BUDDY-L Toys to Those Damned Doll Houses, Unwanted one sees at those Shows.

This is the shell I mentioned earlier in the week. Windows painted over, broken railings. Definitely not worth anywhere close to the asking price.
All, METAL UNDERFRAME CHASSIS & ACCESSORIES FOR BACHMANN SPECTRUM N SCALE 8-40C USED | eBay < for the auction $29.99 being offered , I would expect a pair of Complete Locomotive Trucks with gears and all to make it a viable purchase. Just my opinion here. Tom
No motor. No nothing. Wow. I guess we shall see if anyone buys it. Probably got it from a junk box at a swap for a dollar.
Note that that track does have roadbed attached unlike most flextrack. It's a German product that's hard to find in the U.S., and shipping for flextrack tends to be high (because of it's length), so $25 including shipping is not unreasonable if you only need one piece.
Check with the shop which is probably the largest Fleischmann importer in the USA, Reynauld's. Their site shows less than ten dollars, each.
That is the Fleischmann 9106 which I show about just north of $15 at reynaulds. At this moment rocousa has the best price ($11.50) on that but with shipping for a single piece you'd be back to ebay territory prices.
ALERT: another roofless body shell just listed with only 10 days left to bid and it's a beaut, missing step and all. CSX should sue for defamation.
