Current prices £46 for the fireless and £35 for the unique AEC industrial diesel. Well worth a punt - before Gostude buys them and relists them at 10x his purchase price, to languish in the Sargasso Sea of Overpriced eBay Items for all eternity! Steve S I've put in a bid for the AEC loco, the only bid so far. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bid history has the classic pattern of two bidders succumbing to bidding frenzy, there's another one listed so who else is suddenly going to enter the fray when it is already over 2 x the historic going rate for this model? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Northmoor Posted June 1, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 1, 2021 I like his Rare & Cheap LMS 8F which apparently has an RRP of £400 - where, Monaco? As it's hand-painted (quite well) I think it might have depreciated a little. Perhaps the seller specialises in selling to people who never shop around. You know, those numerous people who've never bought anything from anyone, anywhere, ever. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
