DJ Dangerous Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 What sort of prices do they normally go for? I'm ignorant as to Provincial Wagons commissions, and much as I'd love one or two box vans, those prices seem a little high to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gph2000 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Meanwhile, I bought one of Wiggy's scrap chasis. Ebay (or Wiggy) had pitched import duties at STG 15 if I recall correctly - and a big postage charge of maybe twice that. But I had it shipped to Addresspal in Herefordshire for a little over 4 Euro in postage. They looked at it and assessed it import duties at a whopping €2.16. There will be another 6 Euro to have it transshipped and maybe 4 euro more in admin fees for handling the customs end. Total Shipping including Duties is going to come in under EUR 16 - that was the import charge alone if I had let Wiggy send it directly to me. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that I uploaded a video of @Mayner's brake vans to YT and there were some Dapols in the rake, but not fully sure, and don't want to go spamming the forum by sharing again. First set of decals from @Weshty went missing in the post so a fresh batch were sorted five or six months ago, and they'll go on when they get here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Not a bad price at all! Damage sounds minimal. Wonder why it doesn't appear in the search results for me.

I'll find out soon enough for myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Using @Sean's link, and removing all of the crap from the end of it, I can see the item. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175757401179 Changing the .co.uk to .es, I can still see it. https://www.ebay.es/itm/175757401179 But it does not appear in my search results on .co.uk, .es nor .ie. So I'm guessing that there is some sort of additional level of visibility for sellers now, where they can block regions based on IP addresses or something. P.S.: Booooooo Mallorca, yay Canarias! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 To add to that, I've just tried on the PC with the same results. However, when I turn on my VPN and use an Irish or UK IP address, the advert DOES appear in the search results, but only on the .co.uk platform.

Noel Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 21 minutes ago, Fowler4f said: Don’t bother. Agree. I've enough of those including damaged ones collected over the years as respray donors and in one case as a chassis donor. Last one I bought retail from Marks just before Covid cost €139 new. €300 is just too much IMHO, and €500 for the NIR blue ones or freight grey ones seems almost obscene waste. Can you believe about 7 years ago when Seamus Graham was still running the excellent model shop portlaoise I sent back a grey 7078 because he accidentally shipped me two 7078's. About to respray 085 as 7071 in freight grey (slightly damaged donor cost €110, paint will cost about €8, plus a few hours, plus some decals from SSM). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin R Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I have that issue all the time from outside of the UK I don't know if it has something to do with the different euro zones and I guess as the UK is no longer part of them, may be some one has cut the link.
