Re: eBay madness
It seems that it's not only on eBay that the profit hungry madness strikes
Fancy some wheels anyone (normally around £20 a pack)

Re: eBay madness
Well there is a little box underneath the picture that says "report incorrect product information".
Maybe we should all do that?

Re: eBay madness
Is it just to discourage people from ordering? The items appear to be in the USA.

Never seen that one before, though I have sometimes heard of setting the price at a million dollars and only accepting an offer of the actual price from Gerhard.ge_rik wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2023 11:58 am This is a new one to me .......

Re: eBay madness
mad or not, I would like to have this Wrightscale, I think the price is reasonable, unfortunately all my trains run on 45mm.

I've always admired this WD Baldwin, very detailed, but I'm also happy with my Accucraft version.

Re: eBay madness
For many years, I have been using motor blocks from the LGB ToyTrain Otto loco (and its derivatives - OHO and Rusty) as the basis for some of my loco builds. For example, I used one for my Hughie Hunslet build ...
...and previously as the basis for my Black Hawthorn bash

The last secondhand Otto I bought in 2018 cost me £30 but I've noticed that now they are no longer manufactured, their secondhand price has risen quite dramatically. For example:

So, last week I was pleased to buy one on eBay for £59 (Inc postage) - sometimes it pays to shop around .....

Re: eBay madness
There seemed to be a marked rise in prices for s/h LGB towards the end of last year..
Where as I was seeing items go for perhaps £80-90 they are now going for circa £120.00.
This does mean a better 'return on investment' for those I am presently holding, but finding replacements is becoming harder.
That is a very good price. Hope it runs well?
