Good grief. That any seller would list something like this is just sloppy/careless. I would hesitate to do any business with them.
I can do one better-someone posted an older Atlas RS11 with Kato drive, undecorated, in the box, for 150 bucks. The kicker is there is another Atlas/Kato RS11 listed, no box, for 80. Forgot to mention the $150 model has a slash in the box. Funny way to add value to an item, but what do I know? As for Athearn blue-box models.....on several of the HO scale for-sale sites on Facebook, $20 for a car seems to be the going price. Funny, but at the last train show I was at, I never paid any more that ten. The blue-box kits have become collector's items, and those who are collectors have driven up the prices. Fortunately for me, for car kits, there's Accurail and some early Walthers offerings. Sent from my LM-X210CM using Tapatalk
