cromptonnut Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) I suppose at least we can be reassured they took the body off so we didn't get bright yellow bogies and underframes too. "Missing a couple of horns from what I can see but can be purchased easily by winner for pennies" If that easy, why not just get them, put them on, andhave the ability to bump up the start price...? "Would look good if someone was to detail, or looks good as it is. " Damn autoreplace, it put "detail" rather than "incinerate". "99p starting bid for what will be a bargain if works or not as these models go for a fortune as rare." I think someone's put in "network rail" as an ebay search term and looked at the prices for the professionally repainted and weathered ones that really are incredibly well done. He also forgot the logo transfers.... Edited October 20, 2012 by cromptonnut 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 20, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2012 I think someone's put in "network rail" as an ebay search term and looked at the prices for the professionally repainted and weathered ones that really are incredibly well done. And some of those that aren't well done. He also forgot the logo transfers.... and grey roof, and numbers. Is it April 1st yet? Cheers.

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted October 20, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2012 Had to read this bit a few times! I'm not sure if this works as I purchased in a job lot of a box, selling so I can afford to buy a controller for my shunting layout, as can be seen in background, and its obvious to see this would be to big!

Cleefy Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) "Missing a couple of horns from what I can see but can be purchased easily by winner for pennies" If that easy, why not just get them, put them on, andhave the ability to bump up the start price...? This baffling logic is all over Ebay, especially in the car ads. "Needs an MOT but will sail through it no probs" - well go and get one done, then! No doubt you'd be amazed just how far that would go in convincing potential buyers of its roadworthiness! Edited October 21, 2012 by Cleefy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacque Jacque Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Is he really serious? Having read the listing, yes I believe he is quite serious. I'm no expert on the Tomy stuff, but there appears to be some quite rare items amongst that lot & 3 tonnes is a not insubstantial amount. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that proves that some people will collect anything. Great advert by the way: Random use of apostrophes - check. Random Capitalisation Of the First letter of Words - check. Confusion over when to use their, there and they're - check. Venting annoyance - check. SHOUTING - check. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I can't help but wonder what sort of person spends that amount of money buying one thing for their child...I have probably had that spent, and spent myself, less than that on "toys" in the 40 years I've been on this planet...
