A case of life imitating art? Quote

WRENNEIRE Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 The winning bidder was the underbidder for the last one sold on eBay His underbid on the last one was £200 and he payed £250 for this one The winner of the last one also was involved in this auction, he bowed out at £185 Quote
Jack Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Anybody know how much the box would contribute to the price?In other words what would an unboxed example make if in similar condition. Jack Quote

Glenderg Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Is that a sticker on the front with the CIE roundel???? Madness altogether. Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Yep Paper CIE roundel that is just gummed to both ends of the loco Another eBayer has jumped on the band wagon and offered his Hymek at a £100 start, EBay Canada had some Irish bits recently and a Cl 33 A Class by Murphys made €132 Although made a lot more recently than the Hymek the MM A class had only 300 models made and the Hymek would have had at least 1500, as I read somewhere that they had to do at least 1500 back in the day? So what does this make the Slainte Express set worth? Quote

As is the case with many UK sellers, the postage to Ireland is the same as to Australia. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 As is the case with many UK sellers, the postage to Ireland is the same as to Australia. Yes because it's classed as international. If you live in England, believe it or not but Ireland is a foreign country therefor Royal Mail tend to charge for international postage. Quote
Glenderg Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Yes because it's classed as international. If you live in England, believe it or not but Ireland is a foreign country therefor Royal Mail tend to charge for international postage. Royal Mail have different postal zones, so to ship to Ireland is £9.97 whereas Australia is £13.41 for the same item. UK sellers/Ebayers tend to hit everyone for £15 to cover themselves. Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Had a row once with a UK seller about postage He lived 12 miles from his local PO. had to feed the parking meter and also the cost of the packaging I bought the item anyway but lashed him out of it on his feedback What about these parcel banks all around the country, are they any cheaper? Quote
Grange Castle Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Hi Dave, parcel motel by Nightline for me is great for ordering from the UK. Its 3.50 euro charge for a stay which is up to 2 nights. But the good bit is they have an address in the north were you can direct your parcel if the postage is cheaper it is then forwarded to your chosen motel. When you set up your account you pick your nearest collection point ( mostly maxol garages i believe ) and your given an id number you use this number and your name and the parcel motel centre address as your address on your orders. I get a lot of stuff off ebay and a few times its been free uk postage but massive international postage so i got them sent to parcel motel in the north who then fowarded it down to my local collection point for 3.50. Points are 24 hour so for me its grand. I've made it sound complicated but its really straight forward. jonny Quote
Tarabuses Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Yes because it's classed as international. If you live in England, believe it or not but Ireland is a foreign country therefor Royal Mail tend to charge for international postage. Yes, but as Glenderg has pointed out their is international and there is international. The world extends way beyond Ireland. Quote
Broithe Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Yes, but as Glenderg has pointed out their is international and there is international. The world extends way beyond Ireland. It is weird, though, that it costs more to post from Holyhead to Dublin than from the Scilly Isles to Fair Isle. Quote
Robert Davies Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Yes, but as Glenderg has pointed out their is international and there is international. The world extends way beyond Ireland. Being a Postman in former times, I suspect that the Royal Mail is being ripened up by top line management looking for a big payday when privatisation occurs. Moving aside from that for a moment, I find that postage from the Republic to the UK not too bad in most cases. The only differences being a slight price hike (over internal UK mail) and a delay of two to three days door to door. -Rob Quote
kevrail Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 TRIANG HORNBY R768 IRISH CIE LIVERY CLASS 35 HYMEK BOXED MEGA RARE ITEM! Is it a collectors item? I wouldn't pay the postage cost never mind the winning bid cost. Certainly wouldn't be on my layout. As far as I am concerned it is as described "RARE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

kevrail Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Tony maybe it is the "Classy" Logo that makes it a collectable Quote
