Thumbing thru e-bay, Bachman, general stuff. This guy seems to be serious. Go Figure…

I know that the value of “G” stuff has gone up some, but I never realized that it was this much!

look at his other items, an Aristo basic train engineer (the very earliest orange one, single channel) for $99 but it has “issues”,

“Appears new, but when tested it had issues of not putting out much power to the track, having engines crawl along instead of running at a normal speed. This would be good for a slow-speed test track, slow-display track, or other area where high speed is not needed.”

selling as new but not working…

Even better, an EMPTY Fa-1 blue/silver box for $40

I think this is a seller to avoid. (or get some of what he is smoking)

Look at his entire Ebay listings. All are in the same pricing. Guess he thinks we do not check the sources.

Obviously he’s not targeting us, those are Fool’s Prices!

I wish him luck. With all of the Bachmann coaches I have amassed over the years, I might have a small fortune in my garage, and not even know it. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

At least the shipping is reasonable. HA!

Thanks for my morning laff!

What ever the market will bare. Asking prices are never selling prices.

Just looked and all the items have “or best offer”

Almost looks like he has taken apart a Bachmann Christmas set and offered up the pieces for sale.

Maybe someone can explain the economics of listing so many parts on Ebay to me.

I’ve got a fortune in parted Bachmann stuff just waiting to be removed from their boxes-some new, some slightly run.

Considering I can get a brand new Accucraft coach (the whole thing) for darn near that has to make you wonder. Maybe he like paying seller fees as a hobby and doesn’t care if he actually sells anything.

@ John C.

He’s from Sierra Vista, Arizona. Your neck of the desert. You know this guy?

@David, I only know 1 new guy from there and he keeps bragging about the deals he gets in Tucson!

Maybe I should offer him a dollar. Or, I could be real extravagant and offer him $1.23. But that would be my top offer.(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)
