RMweb Premium Gary H Posted October 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 19, 2019 So, you bought a nice Hornby Ruston DS48, keep it for 3 or 4 weeks, wreck the match wagon and list it for £26 over the current brand new examples. Genious. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-RUSTON-HORNSBY-48DS-WITH-VAN/123944266331?hash=item1cdba76a5b:g:GugAAOSwbcBdqZdG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) It seems to be a badly assembled Parkside? kit on a Dapol underframe. The Lima van at least has neat corners. The NS locomotive looks like one of those 'conversions' we did years ago. Not bad, but not worth almost £150 (try shifting the decimal point maybe!). I have a feeling out friends from the Netherlands would be upset to have their locomotive advertised in German! Probably triggered by 'Dampflok', the suggestions came up with several decent models, albeit German, at half the price!

I duly ordered it when I noticed that the dealer is a regular here on RMweb. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Darius GBP415 for express postage to Greece - wow. Just...wow... The buyer has a high score too - presumably he did look at delivery? I see that postage on all the seller's items is pretty high, especially for abroad, although not GBP400+ - something like that would certainly make me think twice about buying, unless it was a really hard to get item. And perhaps his packaging isn't as good as his pricing should justify.
