gm171 kk Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I don't think Hattons is the place to go to get pre owned Irish stuff at the original RRP anymore... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ak425 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) 300 quid for a used model, add on the customs charges and the An Post charge and the British postage cost. Tell them where to shove it despite the ' Very good box ' ! Edited December 7, 2022 by ak425 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 It has sold! Think IRM may need to get their own 071 / 111 on the shelves before the 800 if they're going for those kind of prices! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised if a certain someone had it on eBay for £450 plus £25 shipping by next week! Not sure if Hattons started checking eBay for priced but their pre owned has gone pricey the last while, they had cravens in the original livery at £96 for ages, think they sold 2 at that price but there’s one still up.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well £299 is pricey to begin with, and there will be postage to Ireland (think its about a fiver if I recall correctly), so its too pricey for me .... but in fairness to Hattons they are VAT registered for Ireland so there shouldn't be any customs charges or An Post charges to worry about But someone somewhere thinks its worth it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hattons are OFF THE RAILS with their Irish pricing. Usually stupidly expensive but I picked up a 141 from them yesterday for £77. Think that the VAT price was £93, just under the price for the third of the three £95 Cravens, but that's not important, VAT is for chumps anyway. Just before the three £95 Cravens, they had one for £30 something. Might have been two months beforehand. They tend to have a few Irish items at stupid prices, then one at a good price, then repeat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up 088 from them (a year ago mind) for less than half the price they had 078 up for 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 This thread should be renamed and stickied like the eBay and Bargain threads.

MOGUL Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Was just coming on here to post that, great minds think alike.. Fairly sure that’s one of the dickey mk2ds that didn’t sell for ages as there was a livery issue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the fuzzy line batch had odd numbers and the re-sprays had even numbers? Crazy Cravens still available, but probably not for long. https://www.hattons.co.uk/1027808/murphy_models_mm1149_po05_irish_cravens_1st_class_coach_in_original_livery_pre_owned_very_good_box/stockdetail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are two instead of one. Maybe they were listed together but not published as Hattons are trying to tease out the spending... Ooh, an Irish coach for the same price as a loco, I'll buy that! I want more, but there is only one, so I'll buy some oher junk instead... Then a few days later... Oooooh, another Irish coach, but only two this time, I'll buy some more junk at the same time!
