Proceeds Going towards My 11 Y/O Daughters Kayak for her Birthday! Exactly. there are no "rip-off prices", there are offers that people either accept or don't. I've had people offer me a fair price for things I don't want to sell, then get annoyed because I won't. I'm just worried that my small stash of such things is making me look like a money-launderer. I'll be sticking to a Seiko watch and a Hyundai, in an attempt at a low-profile existence. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you got a good price for the loco which softens the blow a little, I hope. Stay safe, K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
