    I sent him a message and a link showing him he's overpriced by about $150 and he responds by saying he should go even higher. LOL

    I sometimes wonder if weird prices somehow reference an inventory code, so that the Seller can more easily locate an item amongst thousands of others piled up in their damp and dimly lit cellar.

    Good grief. I suppose that rejecting knowledgeable counsel like yours has made the Seller a smashing financial success. :rolleyes: Well, at least you tried.

    To be fair I think it's a language barrier but maybe he's serious.

    I thought that as a possibility you might be right.

    This could lead to a whole new level of subversive activity for those of us that would like a side hobby.

    Yeah, dude, that New York Central "Hooper" you have should get at least five Benjamins!

    And that Tyco Santa Fe caboose for only $29.97? Higher, higher!

    But wait, there's more!
    "Another Ebay seller who charges priority mail rate and then ships slow, cheap seats and pockets the excess. BUYERS BEWARE - BUYERS BEWARE."

    Quoth a recently unsatisfied customer who smacked a negative on the poor defenseless seller.

    Sounds like it could refer to what's hitting the internet so much lately. :sick:

    There are 'suckers born every day', which is most likely the way most of the eBay sellers are pricing their 'inventory' of mostly junk class items.

    Christopher thanks for the temptation. But, I need to pay off some bills first. Especially from the hospital.

    Looking more closely at the photos of the HO Penn Central F7, I see a horn hook HO coupler that was called "X2F", not an MT coupler. The X2F was introduced in 1957.

    Anyone know what an F7AA might be? Ouch. Forty bucks for that?
