I've always wanted to make a fake ebay account just to click the BUy NOW button on ^%$^%*&$*%# like that...just to watch the guys head explode.....roflmao !!! ** I am sure its a good "Bait & Switch" listing for him though.... ;-)
What's weird about that,he has 200 other books,all priced from say 10-60 dollars..No idea whats up with this one..Must know nothing about trains,has Lionel mentality, "old train stuff is worth thousands"..
On the opposite end of the misplaced decimal scale... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-5-Vi...799583?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item27eb621a5f 9 cents seems like a bargain to me (if you ignore the 5 dollar shipping). This one starts out at $300, with a reserve and $177 dollar (?!?!?!) shipping. Description says "thousands of dollars worth of vintage, brand new (doubt that), N scale woo woo woo" Sure... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-n-s...792983?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item3a96a97c57 How can it be new when the side of the combination is bowed inward?
I looked as hard as I could, but unless there is a bunch more not pictured, this is just more sucker fishing. Or maybe they accidently confused the word "thousands" with "tens" of dollars.
$658.58 is a good price - when you compare to Amazon - price there ranges from $600 to $2,208.44 (plus $3.99 shipping). Gleesh.
We could easily start a topic titled "More Amazon Humor". Finding ten dollar items listed there for thousands instead is very common.
Could be that's where he's getting his stupid prices from..He sells books,probably looking at Amazon,going by that..
Now, in the category of "On Sale Now, For Twice the Regular Price": Another one of the Overland Models brass Milwaukee Road Little Joes has shown up with a starting bid of $1,999.99. That's over twice what the original MRSP was on this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OVERLAND-MO...696197?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item3a97315685
In that case, I wish I had the money to afford it, because it sounds like his reworking of it was rather successful.
Yes, unfortunately. And it also doesn't help when you know someone who has more than one of these, and managed to get all of his at steal prices :question: .
They Look New... except for no couplers and broken parts..Really? http://www.ebay.com/itm/KATO-Chessi...374330?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item3f3c3a027a
Well, at least the seller admits not knowing anything about such items. But in that case, research before listing is always a good idea. No blind stabs at it.
