RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted September 27, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 27, 2013 This seller must rely on the gullible and stupid to survive. I bet he does it quite well too. Well he's sold over 400 items in a month and had no negative feedback although going back he has had some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe just a few weeks. The other stuff looks to have been collected for years though.... Didn't we have some previous Hatchet Jobs from this seller earlier in the month? The mix of stuff looks familiar! Edited September 27, 2013 by Sarahagain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_Lewis Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Why pay less than £100 for your O gauge coach seating when you can pay £150 – and with the pleasure of funding the ****** Gostude too? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360751177634 Retail price, brand new, would be £99.95, so for a whole 50% extra you get... absolutely nothing! This seller must rely on the gullible and stupid to survive. I bet he does it quite well too. He's having a good go at cashing in. Tower Models are currently out of stock of some of their seating sets because the chap who produces them has been unwell lately. If he bothered to list them individually they'd probably sell quickly.

This is a perfect example of a very rare and collectable item." and you, sir*, have single-handedly validated (in some minds) the manufacturer's pricing policy.

If you really wanted a Hornby one for a collection I would have thought you would want one that hadn't been messed with. On the other hand if you want a 47 to run on a layout there are brand new Heljan or Vi-Trains 47s selling for less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I tend to buy bargains from eBay then reduce their value further with my ham-fisted attempts at detailing: Rough, but hey, I'm happy!

Kenton Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 People like this are the downside of the abolition of 'resale price maintenance'.There is an up side is there? Selling is all about providing a product at a price people are prepared to pay. A product sold at some high RRP that elicits too few sales is of no more worth than a product that is sold at a loss.

Lady_Ava_Hay Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 It would be very interesting to know if any of the 'usual suspects' do read the wonderful stuff written about them on this thread! If they did, I suspect that they probably wouldn't give a ***s, if the behaviour of some at auctions is taken into account. This gives issue to the very true statement that 'any advertising is good advertising'. Maybe that is all we are doing. This thread suggest 'madness'. Be careful that the asylum is not this thread. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
