Wow, that is expensive! £165 GBP plus £21 GBP postage, so €215 Euro in real money, plus import tax, plus duty, plus €30 to €70 in handlng fees… And five days still to go! Nah, you’re alright!
Mol_PMB Posted September 2 Posted September 2 Ah, OK, damn Brexit! The duties and fees make such a difference. To me this one looks cheap. Maybe I should buy another... 1 1

I mean, I wouldn’t badger into buying another unless you have your heart sett on it… Handling fees up in Ireland are a lot cheaper than down here, but their taxes are a lot higher, so it probably works out just as expensive up there. 1

Mol_PMB Posted September 7 Posted September 7 Interesting. The one I got recently cost £250.28 (Buy It Now) and was up for sale for a week before I bought it. My seller seemed to be a private individual without much of a history on eBay (only a few bits of feedback) so it might have looked risky, but I asked some questions and came to the conclusion they were legit. It was sold as DCC sound fitted, but it wasn't (it did have a plain DCC chip), and when I found this I asked for (and got) a £50 refund. I know the sound chip costs more than that, but I reckoned about £200 was a fair price. We'll soon see what others think is a fair price for a green one - it's up to £215 already. 1 1
Mol_PMB Posted September 7 Posted September 7 It will also be interesting to see whether this set of Bulleid opens reaches the prices being asked for new ones: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/205711355204
Mol_PMB Posted September 20 Posted September 20 A class on eBay for £195 BIN, two liveries available, green and IR: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/157335286665 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/167804395244 Also various wagons but the wagon prices are steep in comparison. 1 1
WRENNEIRE Posted September 20 Posted September 20 £24 Postage and £64 Duty = €325 a dear A Class Will be some in Bray Wheelers tomorrow for a lot less 1 1

I'll just stop posting ebay links then, if I'm going to get ridiculed each time. I thought they might be useful to someone. You're not comparing apples with apples. £195 today is a fair price compared to Euro 190 when new. Shipping and import duties are a separate matter which depends on where you live. For me, and for many other forum members who live in GB, it would cost a lot more to travel to Bray to buy them at whatever Wrenneire's price is. 2

I’m most grateful to those who post links for scarce Irish items. It has scored me a few 36.75mm locos. Including this SG2 - it’s on the workbench since last night for minor work - which arrived as a restoration project and is absolutely delightful. Other stuff I have passed on as the duty etc works against me as a GB resident. So Paul, and those like you, please don’t stop! Edited September 20 by Galteemore 5

I’ve been posting eBay finds for yonks, here, and nobody gives a damn, never a thank you or anything. You’re posting irrelevant pricing. Post the Euro prices and mention the taxes, otherwise you are misleading Irish based buyers of Irish outline, who, presumably, form the bulk of the buying contingent. Keep posting irrelevant stuff and I’ll keep laughing. €325 EURO is not a fair price! Jaysus. I posted two surplus A’s up to Dublin, paying a fortune for postage from Canarias, and import taxes on arrival, and couldn’t even sell them at €250 each to cover my costs, never mind €270 each to have made it worth my while.
