Starting that low is going to give us a good sense of the value of these items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrman Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 The grey 071s are both over €300 and there's still three days of bidding to go. Who knows how much higher they'll go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems daft for what in truth are Toy trains, that will one day eventually be re-run with better specs, so collecting 1st gen models now will devalue not appreciate. This seems like a repeat of Lima 201s all over again and you couldn't give those away now even as a door stop. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is to sell to the mugs while the market is buoyant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both grey 071's now well outside my price range - both currently around the €370 mark. https://www.ebay.es/itm/155475800367 https://www.ebay.es/itm/155475793533 @Fowler4fdid post about these in a different thread, and I'm pretty sure he posted in another different thread a week or two back, when this seller sold another load of stuff.

Fowler4f Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Does this seller know something that we don’t ? We know Mk.2b are on way, what about new 071 & EGV run ? The current lot finish Sunday 8-9 pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphaph Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I think the seller is a business, no? Maybe they just bought a job lot from an estate. Sometimes people also just decide to leave the hobby or change scale/era whatever. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ignorance, Dave. Hoarders, generally collect pizza boxes, newspapers, empty milk cartons, etc. Not €500 models. Or maybe that's just me stereotyping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few collectors I have talked to see a model like being a piece of art that you hang on your wall to look at with never having any intention of running it. If they want to sell it in the future and make a profit it's a wiin win situation for the buyer and seller each gets what he wants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
