The description pretty much tells the tail here:

"This is used and vintage stuff - mixed up group - some is gonna need attention and refurbishment and other parts will be ready to roll - I am leaning on YOUR expertise here!! - plenty of track and pieces and parts and things like that - this appears to be 60s and 70s era mostly and I do not have a transformer for N-scale trains to test these units. They have been stored for a LONG time in a tupperware - some of the boxes or containers here may not match the stuff here - YOU know that better than I do - I tried to get plenty of pics so you can see what you're getting here - please lean on the photos and also my exhaustive description below for details on condition "

I offered $1.05. Instant decline. I looked at what the seller was selling and the completed listings. They are asking insane prices for mixed merchandise. They don't sell much.

I figure they must be insane.

 

Cars look like the old Arnold shorty cars. The ones known to suffer from warpage. In fact one car is humpbacked and another shows the end warped out.

 

Tomix Japanese prototype locomotive...$1220! I have to assume he hit one too many '9's

Relisted again with a starting bid of only $165

Looks like this guy somehow ended up with a bunch of Model Die Castings locomotives. He seems to have just about every road name...and for $180 each, he'll have them for a long time.

Lol...he probably sells a few though.

 

This looks like someone took a tank car and tore off the tank and glued an old beer can/lighter onto it (available in several brands). At least it has MT couplers for $30:

That just aint right!

 

Not knocking the person at all, just amazed at the prices they are asking. At the same time, someone must occasionally buy some.

 

Condition is listed as 'New', listing says that they are 'Very Nice'...oh, and the couplers are not MT but they are MTish.

 

There is a dealer here in the Seattle are that has a first generation Life Like GP 18 in their display case for $79.95. I think it originally retailed for $24.95? Well anyways, I asked why this loco was so much? They told me that is what a NEW LL GP 18 goes for these days.

I know one sucker that won't pay that much for it. And the sad thing is, someone will probablly buy it one day, eventually.
