    If I'm gonna pay that much for a container, It'd better be able to ride on a real train, truck or ship...

    I'm surprised at the $1200 for a ten pack of Deluxe Coalporters. I get a hunch that somewhere, you could find those, and for that matter, they could always do another run if they are that much in demand.

    It's only real if he gets a bid. And I hope he uses the money to buy a decent camera!

    guess you didn't read the item description. it's for 58 cars not 10.


    minimum bid is $750 which gives roughly $13 per car.

    Maybe that's in N-scale dollars, so it's really on $6.25 ?? :)

    You took the words right out of my mouth... This is psycho if you ask me, Almost like the Slugs that have been going for well over the $200.00 range recently. The BNSF if you look at is warped and the handrails are pieced together in the center?????????????? are people for real????????????

    But likely not 58 unique road numbers. DI has not done that many.
    The DETX were still available last week as we took all they had left.

    We also took all they had of these that were special runs:
    UFIX
    HIPX
    SATX
    JACX
    SFIX
    CNA "Noodle"
    BN Green/Silver
    and also:
    BN Black

    Look at the guys feedback. 100% but it is all from sellers. He has only been a buyer. He has never sold anything. I am watching and will see if anybody bought any of his items.
    I know PWRS produces "limited" editions, but are they really collectible?
    I would be embarrased to tell somebody I paid that much for a container.

    In my opinion, it is very rare and worth alot. But, that is only in original condition. He doesn't have the original car, other container, or piece of track. He may not even have the box. Now you may say, why would the walthers intermodal car, and a piece of kato track make it worth $1000. Simple. It was part of the original rare car. Just one of the containers should not be getting close to that. Its like selling a super rare painting without the frame. It just isn't the complete thing. Or selling a collector Ferrari without the seats and engine. We will see if it sells or not.
