    If it is old, it must be worth more. This person sells a lot of old stuff that he thinks is collectible.

    I was ready to say that it's at least theoretically possible to get that price, but after seeing the photo (granting points for honesty there) and reading...

    Has the nose of one locomotive cut off??

    ...I would have to see your "Seriously?" and raise you a "Really?"

    "VERY RARE to find one of these." I would say "somewhat unusual." They do show up from time to time.

    And it may only be a question of time with regards to Rapido releasing it in N scale.

    If that decimal isn't misplaced...... My yacht needs a new anchor. Guess I'll start digging in the basement. I must have a few million dollars downstairs in old Christmas decor.

    It might have been manufacturedin Austria. That is before it was 'customized' into something or other. It sold for 99 cents!

    Nasty Shopper

    Here is an email from an ebay shopper, sort of a nasty shopper....

    [TD]Dear (Name of seller removed),


    Good evening. Can that 'garbage' be washed off? I hope so! Of all the atrocities to perform on a car like this. This car was an experimental paint job, first seen at the shop ONLY. It wasn't out of Mot Haven yard one day (1958).

    Just another person having delusions of grandeur. It might sell the same day we learn that Martians have landed in Miami. If it was parted out, might bring in a few dollars. Otherwise it is essentially worthless, as seen here.
