    I noticed after the shock of the price it was also Best Offer, so I send him a offer of $2.55. Maybe I should have made it $10.00, but I was in shock mode and was not thinking very well.

    Generally speaking, the more exclamation points a listing has, the less interested I am.

    Also, the more fonts, colors, and fine print.

    ALISTINGINALLCAPSWITHNOSPACESBETWEENWORDS doesn't instill my confidence in the seller either.

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned this item yet or not:

    [h=1]SANTA FE RAILWAY SUPER CHIEF WALL HANGING PLAQUE

    $79,999.95[/h]
    $(KGrHqZHJBwE-d,bnSpvBPoW2SMEPw~~60_3.JPG

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/SANTA-FE-RAILWAY-SUPER-CHIEF-WALL-HANGING-PLAQUE-TRAINS-RAILROAD-RAILROADIANA?item=370624306588&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D32341020680159833#ht_1528wt_1049

    Seller goes on about how he saw this hanging inside the train when he was a kid and that his father was a conductor and rubbed elbows with all of the star on the Super Chief. Through "special railroad connections" he obtained it. Then, after all that, he backtracks and says he can't be sure whether it is unique at all or even if it came from the Super Chief in the first place.

    But he still wants $80,000 for it!

    Is that Hong Kong dollars or US dollars? At that price I can have a lash-up of at least three units new in box, with factory air, never run, and strip the old one down to a dummy unit and have four in the lash-up. Why would anybody pay more for a replacement motor, even with the Atlas spare parts price increase, when you can buy the entire loco for much cheaper.

    I looked at the other listings and the $399.99 motor pair is a typo. He has a couple more listed at 39.99 a pair.

    I find it insulting that after spending $1800.00 for tank cars you still gotta add 20 bucks shipping ??
