You put in Hattons- it comes up, you put in Bachmann - it comes up, albeit much further down in the listings Yeah, its a kind of scamming/mass marketing ploy. I loathe it, it just wastes time for the customer but the seller will benefit from more people seeing their not-Hattons, not-Bachmann and not-Hornby models. The annoying thing is, it works. Someone will see it on their Bachmann list and bid. eBay will never police such methods because it increases trade, and obviously their cut. My tactic when I see a seller doing this is I whack them onto my blacklist, wave bye-bye and go elsewhere. For me they cease to exist and I happily know I've saved myself wasted time in the future.

That is a lot of money. Plus a very reasonable £15 postage. Most curious. You could buy 10, yes TEN very good 00 gauge locos for £1800. Or have FOUR brass kits professionally built, painted and lined for you. As they say, life is strange. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithMacdonald Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Ah, could this be the reason for the madness? These were sold exclusive at the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden. Quote London Transport Museum has taken a keen interest in Bachmann’s new model developments and as appropriate rolling stock as used by Transport for London and its predecessors has become available in model form, the Museum has commissioned relevant limited edition models. London Underground, the oldest metro system in the world, celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2013 at the same time as a large fleet of new S Stock Underground trains were being built for service on Metropolitan, District, Hammersmith & City and Circle lines. London Transport Museum and Bachmann seized the opportunity to produce the first ever ‘ready to run’ fine scale model Underground train and worked together to produce a very high quality 1:76 (OO) scale S Stock model utilising Bachmann’s technical expertise. https://www.ltmuseumshop.co.uk/models/Bachmann#show=5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its still mad that they are now over £1300 and rising. Then consider you need two of them to actually make a set. Now showing as £195 with 3 days to go.

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted December 12, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2019 No, he's added bids to counter-bid the bidder who's now disappeared, so they'll be stacked bids which will be activated if anyone else comes in at a later stage. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
