Westcorkrailway Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 41 minutes ago, DJ Dangerous said: Saw that one for €700... Shocking price, but as @murphaph pointed out, "good" based on the standards set by today's gougers. €700 means €220 for the loco and €120 each for the four sets of Keg Liners... https://touch.adverts.ie/models/models-railways/26078965 Few "bargains" on eBay for comparison... Various 141's / 181's at €300 each: https://www.ebay.es/sch/kellystownbank/m.html €360 plus shipping: https://www.ebay.es/itm/265527750062 €390 plus shipping: https://www.ebay.es/itm/224834939186 €400 plus shipping: https://www.ebay.es/itm/115237546300 Fancy a coach or two? €150 each plus shipping: https://www.ebay.es/itm/144410223770 https://www.ebay.es/itm/144410223744 Not having a go at any of the sellers, it's a free market, but personally I find the hyper inflated prices shocking. All this, and I was offered a 141 yesterday for €100…….there are still plenty of people willing to look past these stupid prices. And offer them like what they are. 15 year old models! I know people REALLY want these models. But they should not give in to these muppets trying to swindle modellers who need “this one thing”. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what's wrong here. I saw that on Facebook, what a plank. some poor sod is going to be wondering why everyone was raving about the 071. It looks very shoddy What’s worse is It might not be intentional. Judging by the reviews of the seller. It’s likely that he thinks it’s the same model selling for €300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris told me that somebody else here on the forum has recently ordered a four-car set, so maybe whoever that was can advise.

I picked up a few of them last year and the year before, all around the €60 mark. Beside a MM 201, they look rough, but whizzing around by themselves, they are grand. Sound like bags of spanners, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
