RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted November 16, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2013 Either it is in a tunnel, or as it says in the listing "its in the loft somewhere". He must have forgotten to install a light up there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinWales Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Agreed, they failed to sell at £1,250 or somesuch now he's dropped the price but increased the zeros at the same time! DIgit trouble methinks. Hmmm.....finger or zero? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1962 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Price is now set at £1100.00 Which is a much more reasonable figure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Just a thought, will eBay charge him on the original listing figure? (in the unlikely event the item sells of course - Who has a spare £1100 to spend? Certainly not me!* -. unless our friends are interested). It's a prime example of how not to sell; smaller lots would have been much better. (Who really needs 100 P.O. wagons from all over the country, apart from avid collectors who probably have most of them anyway?) *Even if I had it, SWMBO would have rather a lot to say on the matter.

RMweb Premium Bernard Lamb Posted November 17, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2013 Roughly 90 wagons at around £8 is rather less than £1,100. I would say a more realistic value is nearer to £6 than £8. So way OTT. Would a dealer offer him £500? Would he get more than that at auction? I doubt it. Would he get better for listing them individually. Probably. But not if you factor in the value of his time at a reasonable rate. Bernard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2013 Price is now set at £1100.00 Yes, that's what it was when I first clicked it. Hence my puzzlement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not if you factor in the value of his time at a reasonable rate. Bernard I would agree with valuation around £6 and have doubts about a dealer* offering even as much as £500 (though our friends seem to have a 'buy dear and sell exorbitant' policy). There is the 'collectable' factor however, which makes some 'worth' more than others. Individual sales would almost certainly be labour intensive, but several lots would be the way forward in my opinion. * In my experience, dealers either value the rare items and expect the rest thrown in or offer around 25% of the likely sale price.

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted November 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2013 He replied asking me to ring him next week to hear the list. I replied to say that I was hoping for a list to be sent to me. I'm not going to ring him. I've just asked him for a list of the wagons. I hope he does not consider that "time wasting" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Ava_Hay Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Has our friend Gostude changed his name...? At that price I think i'll give em a miss. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-Waggon-Collection-assorted-Various-many-Limited-Additions-boxed-/301018551174?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item46161a9386 surely he's added a "0" or two on by mistake? No I don't think so. There are no less than 84 wagons in the collection as offered. I suppose that £13.09 per wagon is a tad optomistic since they look quite old but after listing fees and Paypal fees............ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Grovenor Posted November 17, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2013 No I don't think so. This original comment was made, I believe, when they were listed at £11,100, actually an extra 1 rather than an extra 0. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
