Model Forum / General / Railroads / July 2005LAST HOUR: ATLAS train parts HO scale 1960's.....LOOK!!!!!!!!
ATLAS Train componants / Right Remote / 3" Piers in Box / Silvine Switch http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5983303456 Starting bid $25? Buy it now for $49? A veritable bargain. I'm surprised no-one bought! Starting bid should have been 25 cents! Just because something is from the 1960's doesn't mean it should have a premium price!

Have another glass? Froggy, > ATLAS Train componants / Right Remote / 3" Piers in Box / Silvine > Switch > http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5983303456 Totally unsuitable ebay advertising. "LOOK" should have been spelt: "L@@K". Also, the words "VERY RARE!!!!" (note correct use of upper case) were not in place. I also did not see "collector" or "bargain" used at all.

If the SOO LINE had used popping out eyeballs in their reporting marks, they'd probably be the ones owning CP Rail right now, and not vice versa. |
