Re: eBay madness
Reign it in please guys.
I don't think it's rubbish and it's the cost we are discussing.

Re: eBay madness
Tom, thankfully our forum isn't like Facebook and generally it's very honest in it's opinions and because you don't think it's rubbish do we need to all have the same opinion. I do think it's rubbish for that money. Tony's is a far better job and looks like a real working loco. And we can't comment on the price if we don't say why it's not worth the money.

Re: eBay madness
But it's boxed, and has no damages!
Sounds like a bargain.

Re: eBay madness
Agree Tom...Over £100 with postage and it's not the original box...It's a plain white one.....tom_tom_go wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2019 10:45 am Ambitious:

Why do people pick out of the sky silly prices....It's not good for those of us who are on limited budgets.
And then everyone else also start asking silly prices.
Have you seen the prices of the second hand stuff on there......

Re: eBay madness
Actually that probably is its original box, as not all BMS stock comes in the coloured boxes. I purchased a R19-24D – W & L SHEEP WAGON BAUXITE, DATA ONLY direct from Accucraft at a Llanfair C show, a R19-9B – L& B BOGIE GOODS VAN – DATA ONLY from an Accucraft dealer, and a R19-24G IoM ‘E’ Van, Green & Cream from a different Accucraft dealer. You've guessed it - they all came in plain white boxes with the appropriate BMS stock sticker on an end panel.

Re: eBay madness
He's on cloud 9,10,11,12...You get my drift...It's that kind of pricing that is putting me off 16mm at the moment...
This is not an inexpensive hobby. It's getting more and more expensive I am afraid. We all don't have bottomless pockets, but even if I did, that is ridicules. And the weathering is awful..........

Re: eBay madness
The loco is just a mess and needs a proper paint job..... price reduction for that I think!
The postage is probably about right, particularly if it includes insurance.

The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
Re: eBay madness
Postage is probably fine, I think I paid around £26 to post a Wrightscale Wren a few years ago insured up to £2000.
Thanks

Re: eBay madness
Postage is ok. That's about what I would have needed to pay to send a loco to other member.

Re: eBay madness
OK chaps I was wrong. I've had a look at a couple of carriers and as you all say it is about the right priceI, teach me to check things before opening big mouth! I still think the postage is a lot of money though but perhaps I've got used to buying a lot on line where often the postage is free.
