Again, porkchopthe3rd strikes again... My money's on this guy hires people to get in bidding wars to up the price... Shill bidding? I forget what it's called...
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidItems&userid=porkchopthe3rd&completed=1&all=1&rows=200&sort=3 Yeah, check out his bid history. He wins many high priced auctions from many sellers.
I think he is cornering the market in Bachmann locomotives and is going to open a dealership. I would rather have three good Kato locomotives for the same price that he is paying for the Bachmann.
He bid on 4 of those Centennials, and won 3, all way over $100 each! Where is this guy's money tree? I want one!
His bid of $213 for an undecorated Rivarossi 4-6-6-4 Challenger isn't high at all. Stay cool and run steam......
REmember-it takes at least two bidders to drive the price up. Manowarr has scored a couple of DD40s himself. I should have bought that boxful that the Bachmann Babes had back in January at $45 each...
Might have to think about putting MY DD40 up! Have the newer version, with dual motors even! Slight work on trucks, and it's actually a pretty good runner. Last time I ran it anyway. Nowhere to run. Yet.
And even mention that I saved him the time installing MT couplers! Wonder what could be made if I were to convert mine to DCC?? Probably wouldn't sell mine anyway, as it is an unusual locomotive and I have mine running pretty good.
And he's been spending like that since he joined in January. Is this what happens when someone not quite right wins the lottery? I can't see any rhyme or reason to what he buys, aside from the fact that it's all N-scale. I do notice, though, that he will buy many multiples of the same or similar items, same as with the DD40s. There's no way he's a shill with so many different sellers...though some of them may be onto him and putting in shills themselves. Anybody ever notice a guy like this before?
