    Excellent? In the real world, would grade no better than C-4. (n)

    How can the Condition be described as Great to Excellent as far as it looks in photoswhen it's filthy with dust and dirt and the side-gear is completely missing?

    UPDATE: Ah! JMaurer1 beat me to it. :confused:

    I've still have a couple of Lottery Tickets, I bought in California a couple of months ago. I heard that one of them might be the winner of that billion $ Power-Ball drawing. When I cash it in, I'll make them an offer for all the cars---- Does $5,000 sound too low? For $11,000 and change, I want to SEE THEM UP CLOSE!

    If you look at the other photos, it seems this small engine house can roam around a layout. Must be an "undocumented feature." Or, maybe he is modelling "tornado alley"? Could this be a companion piece to "Dorothy's farm house" offered elsewhere?

    Seroiusly, I understand the seller is trying to get a business started and wanted to show his new product in context of a layout to give a sense of scale, etc. But putting it in the middle of a road is so odd that it raises more questions about the business than it answers about the product.

    It did make me wonder.... Marketing.... Place it in an appropriate scene or setting, which will make much more sense. It will catch more eyes and and arouse more interest.

    Seller claims the plastic wrap is still sealed and that the set was received it as a childhood gift.

    Now, this is probably the wrong subset of the population to ask, but, if you received this set as a gift back when you were a child, how long would the plastic wrap have remained intact?
