EBay madness

This has been up for a long time -  more than 6 months I believe. Not surprised it's proving hard to shift. The seller would be better advised to get an auction house to do it. 

Given I’ve been after a GraFar 5MT for a while (I do have one, got it in January, but I knew little about zinc pest at the time of getting it, and tossed the chassis when it fell apart), I might message the seller and ask how much he’d like for just one of them…

The biggest problem with that lot is that as-is, it's not possible to tell what's there - it could be £20k worth of immaculate boxed locos, many of which are rare and could command huge prices, or it could be a few locos in good condition (the 4 shown look good!) and a mixed lot of rolling stock. 

Spot on, it's a pig in a poke.  Caveat emptor.

Not so much madness as laziness on the part of the bidders: - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176116695938?

 

You can download them for free from Peco : - https://peco-uk.com/collections/turn-out-crossing-plans/o-32mm?

 

Worth it if you haven't got a printer I suppose.

NOT.UK POSTAGE ONLY

 

Which means?

Sellers will really just sell anything at this point…

Think it might have been shared here before, falls under the category of “tossing any old junk on the internet to make a couple quid” category though.

TMC would like you to spend over £500 on an item with one fuzzy photo and a description that tells you nothing other than somebody else has owned it…

 

Blue Pullman

 

See me - Can do better

 

 

 

I got a new one for less!

 

Even Triang Blue Pullmans are becoming more expensive...

TMC have on their website the Collector’s Edition of the Blue Pullman available to order at £419.97 (reduced from £599.95) which makes that cheaper than their lazily-listed second hand version on eBay!

An elderly loco and an elderly, limited DCC controller.  In an elderly looking box!

 

 

And a description written by a word vomiting machine AI.

"This Hornby electric locomotive," is a rebuilt Merchant Navy as far as I can make out. Though it is a model that runs on electricity, so is isn't technically lying, it depicts a steam locomotive not an electric locomotive.

'00n3 gauge' and '3-rail'??

Is that why it's described as OO DCC Gauge.

I didn't realise DCC affected the gauge.

You learn something new every day. :)
