Guest Natalie Graham Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 What a lot of over priced TAT I believe the preferred term is, "rare collectors' item". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

industrial Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 AWESOME! ....... no it's sh!te. Postage covers up to £46.00 (£4.50) only and the starting bid is £84.99 so the postage charge will be more even if you get it on the starting bid. Also mint condition and never been out of the box.

Marty Mc Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hmmm I really like it. AWESOME! ....... no it's sh!te. Neil why does this fall under "ebay madness"? Go to his web site some of his work is excellent. Could you point me in the direction of where you can buy 2 for less money please. A nice barging here £14.99 for the starting price. http://www.ebay.co.u...5#ht_2412wt_952 You can buy two for less money. Cheers Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted October 3, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) AWESOME! ....... no it's sh!te. Starting bid £84.99 but this is what it says about postage: POSTAGE SHOWN COVERS UP TO £46 ONLY Rather pointless not quoting for postage at opening bid price.

RMweb Premium Neil Posted October 3, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 3, 2011 AWESOME! ....... no it's sh!te. Hmmm .... Neil why does this fall under "ebay madness"? Go to his web site some of his work is excellent. .... To answer the last bit first over the last year I've seen many of his 'AWESOME' weathering jobs, and while I grant you that there's a certain subjectiveness for stuff at the more arty end of the model railway spectrum I would struggle to describe any of his work as AWESOME. If you want a benchmark of excellence then I'd suggest you take a look in Modelling Inspirations at Pugsley's 100T tanker, or trawl through the forum for Pennine MC's 16T minerals. Now the first part. From other examples in this here thread, mis-labeling seems to be fair game. In this instance 'AWESOME' is hyperbole at best. I'm also minded to single 'AWESOME' out for special attention partly because it's rude to shout, and partly because he applies the tag to every damn thing he sells. Caravan accessories; 'AWESOME' ?

Marty Mc Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi Thanks for the link cheers. I was just under the impression you were getting 11 wagons which started at that price and I thought it was a good price for 11 wagons. I was wrong.

Guest baldrick25 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Is 'Super' the new 'Rare'? Every item from this seller seems to be a 'Super item' or 'Super' - a term with only a subjective meaning of course:- http://www.ebay.co.u...sid=p4340.l2562 Edited October 4, 2011 by baldrick25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Lamb Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Pinch me- tell me I'm not in Alice in Wonderland world... http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2eb832c17f It's the special cardboard used for the insert that is worth the money.

As for some of the 'super' weathering above, I think it's time to start visiting car boot sales for models and getting the air brush out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unchuffed Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 http://www.ebay.co.u...#ht_4737wt_1348 What gets me is who goes to the trouble of fitting a 3-link, but then applies the number on what appears to be blotting paper?! The interesting thing is that that's not the 06, it's the Triang 0-4-0 North British shunter, on the same chassis as Polly/Connie/Nelly, which you don't see too often. Pity it's in such a state.

Penlan Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Pinch me- tell me I'm not in Alice in Wonderland world...http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2eb832c17f Perhaps the price reflects the reason I'm a modeller rather than 'A Collector' - Not a lot of cash available. I would have bought the model and ditched the box, changed the wheels, added proper couplings and ran it on the layout. Ooops, sorry, recycled the box...
