RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted November 30, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2011 I don't know where this person gets the brass neck to sell such unidentifiable cr*p at ludicrous prices!... There must be plenty of suckers out there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted November 30, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2011 .... meanwhile elsewhere in the kingdom of e-flog modern wagons, even Irish prototypes, still seem to command rather high prices. I don't do Irish (though have thought about it). Trouble is, either you've got to be confident at scratchbuiding/building resin kits, or have deep pockets. Must admit, although I'm retired, I would be tempted to pay for someone else's work provided it's good quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddys-blues Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) now who is going to buy guarantee card ? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4cfc378ed2 Believe it or not, a bit back when Farish was dormant for the 4/5 years in between Poole closing and Bachmann relaunching them, these Guarantee Cards were hotter than Pokermon cards.

Horsetan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I guess the real 'prize' on offer is the 'grandfather rights' to use non reflective , black and silver plates , which in these days of personalised numberplates could be sought after. I don't see the point really unless someone has a hatred for getting caught by speed cameras etc ..... I think the old plates are just as identifiable on a speed camera as the black-on-yellows.....

RMweb Gold RFS Posted December 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Anyone fancy a full set of Clans - all 25! The 10 that were actually built plus the 15 additional that were planned but then cancelled. I would suspect they're recycled Britannias. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4ab14f7120 Edited December 1, 2011 by RFS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2011 ... and cash only to boot. And local pick-up only. So you are going to meet someone you don't know, carrying at least £750 cash about your person. He no doubt hopes the bids will reach 4 figures. I suspect he's going to be disappointed.

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted December 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) 750 quid and just one vague photo! The words 'a' 'laugh' and 'having' spring to mind.

RMweb Premium Welly Posted December 1, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2011 My colleague told me this morning that he sold a "very rare" Hornby Dublo "Rail cleaning wagon" together with a few other more common HD wagons in one lot and sold them for £240!!! He was amazed at how much it sold for! He said that the "Rail Cleaning Wagon" was the very last item made by Hornby Dublo before it became Triang.

I would suspect they're recycled Britannias. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4ab14f7120 The vendor admits that they are modified Triang Brits, admits that the tenders were not painted or modified to match the locos, and is asking us to stretch credibility for 24 locos that we might not want - I'll go for a DCC ready Clan from Hornby at £150.00 (full RRP). I fear that he will be splitting his "priceless" collection of Clannias. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cromptonnut Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) A real contender for "please bin it now!" It's meant to be "Buy It Now" ... but I think you're probably more accurate. Quite high on the "WTF-ometer" that one. I wonder if it's meant in some vague way to represent something like this?
