Anyone who can bid on Ebay has the facility to Google "Comet Models LS16". It's not as if the manufacturer has no web presence. No doubt :::Jerry::: will be along soon to telll us it's a scam to bid high and launder the money through Crimebay :-) MBQ > Fools and their money... This has to be auction wrecking, surely? £16.76 against a price from Comet of a fiver. But then, there are two idiots for whom winning the auction seems to be more important than applying common sense :-) > No doubt :::Jerry::: will be along soon to telll us it's a scam to bid > high and launder the money through Crimebay :-) Don't, just don't!!!!!

At one time would have said let me bid on them then watch em fly, but since XMAS have bought a few kit locos at good prices.

Last minute buyer jumped in with only a few seconds to go - well done that man shrewd bidding he won it - for GBP19.99 ! So who, if they were the seller, would give him the opportunity to pull out ? Cheers, Simon > > "Paul Boyd" wrote > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > So who, if they were the seller, would give him the opportunity to pull out > ? I would have put a "buy it now" at about 25% less than the current RRP so the situation would not arise. I once had the opposite where a buyer got a real bargain from me but then insisted on paying an extra £5, so there are some honourable people around.

I remember a similar example a few years back, although I would've been the buyer. A chap had listed a number of items, and on one of them he'd obviously made a mistake when putting up the listing. I'd found it under a search for Silver Fox (a friend was after an A4 of that name). One of the items which came up was a very nice Class 40 (IIRC), with a starting price of £1.99, but the description was for something by Silver Fox the kit manufacturer. I watched that 40 all the way to it ending unsold. I would've been fully within my rights to bid 'tree fiddy' on it, but it would've honestly felt like steeling if I had gone through with it and won it for two pound. As it happened, I ended up bidding for the item that was actually by Silver Fox (an 0-6-0 diesel shunter of a class I cannot remember) and didn't win that either. Some you win, some you lose. Sometimes, winning isn't everything.

" I still think to some people “If it’s on eBay (or (similar) it must be cheap !” I now ‘- ebay’ in my searches as some of the prices people have bid have been very silly or suspicious. A fool and his money ..... Have you noticed you don’t get good post Christmas sales now. I recall one visit to Debenhams when they sold toys they had loads of Hornby kit at about half price. Chris > I still think to some people “If it’s on eBay (or (similar) it must be > cheap !” But it often is, which is why I only sell stuff on there which I could never sell in the shop, or which is particularly collection and needs a wide audience. I generally only buy stuff on eBay which I cannot buy at sensible prices elsewhere. Try looking at the price of pre-recorded DVDs for instance.

Yes, I remember that, but I think it was when Debenhams were pulling out of selling toys in general & Hornby in particular. They were just clearing their stocks, not an annual event for sure.

This was some 30 odd years ago ! > This was some 30 odd years ago ! Yes, I know - I bought loads of stuff from them at the time. Went back the following week & they'd been completely cleaned out.
