Here's a few to keep you in conversation for a while: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2a12833d3e http://www.ebay.co.u...=item53e868aeb6 http://www.ebay.co.u...=item29ff7ecb3c http://www.ebay.co.u...=item53dbc076df Just check out the unadulterated cr*p in their 'shop'..£25 for an empty large brandy bottle..with a torn label to boot! It's a load of old tat - and I think they are well foul of the Trades Description Act on some of it such as the 'vintage' Brains brewery wooden box which looks to be considerably younger.

RMweb Gold RFS Posted December 20, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2011 If you check the completed listings then practically everything sells, including a number of empty bottles. Very strange indeed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted December 20, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2011 Model Railway collectors buy empty boxes, so I suppose there is a market somewhere with empty bottles. As for me, I think model trains are for running and drink is for drinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Neil Posted December 21, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 21, 2011 I couldn't see a field for 'Ask seller a Question', but at £330, 7 - 9 days delivery..... I wonder if anybody will be caught (my wife tends to miss things like postage and 'from China' etc.,). Now down to a far more reasonable £3.30, minded to think it's been a typo and he's only just realised/been told that it might be hindering bids.

Catkins Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 http://www.ebay.co.u...=item53e942cea0 £65??? IIRC that's how much Argos charged for the set about five years ago - hardly makes it "vintage"!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Scale 20 tons = 20 / (48 *48*48) (length*width*height, you should be scaling in 3 dimensions, not one!) = 0.0001808 tons, or about 180 grammes in real weight...
