The crud looks pretty even...might just be because of the size of the picture. Its on the wheel face and on the flanges, so it could be new.
OK,I'm a HO-scaler so I'm not familiar with N-scale prices, but isn't $75.00 a bit over the top for a set in that condition?
Seeing that "B" unit as it was, I'd sure wonder about the "A" unit condition. But someone wanted it, as the item shows sold.
Well... I'm still amused by the amount of money some folks are willing to pay for some Classic Metal Works vehicles. In particular... the US Mail trucks and 1955 Chevy police cars. As of yesterday... the pair of US Mail trucks was at $36.01; and, the 1955 Chevy police cars were at $41.01... both still counting until tonights climactic showdown which may set new records for these models.
Seeing that "B" unit as it was, I'd sure wonder about the "A" unit condition. But someone wanted it, as the item shows sold. Yep - I was thinking that maybe the mechanicals of those particular models might have been considered desirable as good runners or whatever, but I agree with you - I wouldn't think they would be worth anything much either, based on the shell condition. But wait! ... didn't the seller say they ran well? :wideeyes:
I had watches on them for my own amusement... final answer was... US Mail Trucks: $38.50 Police Cars: $44.00 I don't think that was the all time record, and I'm not ungluing mine from my layout, either...
Im sure glad I have one of these that RUNS! That makes mine worth about $1500.....LOL http://www.ebay.com/itm/N-Scale-Loc...573094?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item4abb37c0a6
If yours runs, it's probably worth double that! If it has an engineer waving from the cab window, an easy five grand. Ha ha.
Hahahaha!!! If it will fetch $5000 by adding a $1.00 figure in the window, I think I could find one! LOL
lmao... http://www.ebay.com/itm/JE-VINTAGE-...916335?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item564ad8e6ef hey, it is marked down from 49.99 to 31.49....jeesh
Hey, I just got a bunch of these in a lot purchase from an estate....Hey! I just won the lottery. LMAO!!!!! Ken "FloridaBoy" Willaman
I made the jerk a "$1" offer, and told him he should be ashamed of himself!!..........and THAT was @ the "sale" price of $31.64. He has since let that expire, and the price is back up to $49.99!! People like that REALLY give "Evil-Bay" it's well deserved reputation for crooks. Of course, he has not bothered to respond to my "offer"........wonder why???? http://www.ebay.com/itm/JE-VINTAGE-A...item564ad8e6ef
If you think that guy's pricing is high, you should try buying parts for a 1984 Porsche 944. OMG!!!! You'd think the part was made of pure gold! Darrell
