PMW Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 On 12/02/2024 at 13:40, Captain Slough said: Another sort of eBay madness... i filed - a few days ago - an unpowered scratchbuilt LT battery locomotive locomotive that I made when I was about 15 out of thick cardboard on RTR bogies for sale. in my opinion its a terrible model entirely lacking in detail and not even fully square, wearing a livery the prototype never saw. I pointed this out in the advert and optimistically filed it with a starting price of £10. Currently at £31 after numerous bids. I'm not pleased to make far more than I expected, as much as worried they aren't reading the advert and will complain on receiving it... Hope the fact of my own slating of it's quality in the advert text protects me... perhaps it's time to start building another! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
