This has been on eBay for a while
Contacted the seller to see if he was open to negotiations but no reply
Dont have a boxed example so I said I would bite the bullet
Just checked his pics and I see its in an incorrect box
320 352 is a BR Southern Green Brake end
Box should be 320 395
Dang

Rails listed 9900 items on ebay UK site and post to UK only.

So it can't find it if you live outside UK.

Miserable bar stewards.

Any links to the juicy items?

EDIT, found four:

That's the chap I was thinking of in the Ian McNally eBay thread, the one buying Lima coach packs on Adverts.ie and Facebook for under €200 and advertising them on eBay for near €300 straight away. Couldn't think of his name!

You know that you can trim everything after the item number from the url, right?

Lots of Provincial wagons on eBay but not cheap 🐤

 

Some of them are ending as we speak, unsold.

https://www.ebay.es/itm/285295496090

https://www.ebay.es/itm/275862913548

https://www.ebay.es/itm/285295492507

https://www.ebay.es/itm/285295742358

https://www.ebay.es/itm/285295749322

I made offers on a few yesterday, but they were rejected.

Would have been nice to have some of @leslie10646's RTR wagons but not at €70 or €80 a pop.

Almost sure that seller, Model Railway Emporium, is the same seller who got over €500 each for their 071's a few months back.

Hi Dave Thanks for giving me a good laugh, for -

Those prices are laughable. I sold them for €15 tops when they were in my catalogue.

Tempting to do a rerun!
The cement van is very close to the Irish original. Maybe another run of it in CIE colours?

Leslie, I would bet my kidneys that at €15 per van RTR, your only problem would be people complaining that they sold out too quickly. You'd have people buying them in tens and twenties, not just ones and twos.

Couple of bits and bobs on eBay.

 

Murphy Models IR Livery 141 Class no. 143, 0 bids, €215 EUR, finishes in 7 hours:

https://www.ebay.es/itm/256142763237

Seller of 143 says:

"Postage will be to UK or Northern Ireland addresses only as I've read about the complexities of posting to Southern Ireland and being a private seller wouldn't know how it would be possible otherwise."

 

Murphy Models silver and black 071 Class no. 082, 0 bids, €330, finishes in 5 hours:

https://www.ebay.es/itm/256142625789

Same seller as 143, and says:

"Also as I am a private seller, having read about the complexities of posting to Southern Ireland I can only send to UK or Northern Ireland addresses."

 

Irish Railway Models B&I Container Liner twin pack, 0 bids, €105 or €145 "Buy It Now", ends in six days:

https://www.ebay.es/itm/115867132592

(Seller is Ian McNally of MIR, can reccommend myself)

 

Irish Railway Models empty Container Liner triple pack, 3 bids, €120, finishes in 3 days:

https://www.ebay.es/itm/115864291177

(This is the item that @Fowler4f created a separate eBay thread for)

 

More a curiosity than a bargain, Irish Railway Models A Class no. 007s, €405, not on auction:

https://www.ebay.es/itm/305035325005

(@Fowler4f has created a separate eBay thread for this item also)

 

Again a curiosity rather than a bargain, a Lima Mk2D Galway livery triple pack, purchased on Adverts.ie recently for €195, I think, €290, not on auction:

https://www.ebay.es/itm/126015556851

(Seller says "EX SHOP STOCK YOU WILL NOT FIND IN THIS CONDITION VERY OFTEN HENCE THE PRICE" but I'd be dubious)

 

Silver Fox Dutch Van, this one must be in demand by somebody here on the forum, unpainted, €80, not on auction:

https://www.ebay.es/itm/204334945988

The seller IS Silver fox, and the kit is listed on their wesite at £47,50 GBP:

http://silverfoxmodels.co.uk/ir-ie-generating-steam-van-dutch/

The eBay one appears to have been assembled and had wheels added, so removes a lot of hassle.

 

Murphy Models Cravens coach no. 1523, 5 bids, €55, 8 days left:

https://www.ebay.es/itm/225680074988

 

Dapol Irish 5 plank open wagon triple pack, €100, not on auction, seller has Irish stuff from time to time:

https://www.ebay.es/itm/266341836247

 

BritBus special commisson by adrian Richards, Molly 2 Ghost Bus, 4 bids, €35, ends in 2 hours:

https://www.ebay.es/itm/354920789308

 

This seller has four BritBus Dublin models, slightly expensive (2 @ €110 and 2 x @ €90), and looks like they don't ship internationally as you have to change the url to ".co.uk" to actually see the buses:

ah i dunno im fairly delighted with the price i paid for this bus today, the price even dropped a little bit when i logged into my .ie account, not sure why though.

 

https://www.ebay.ie/itm/115858008679

 

compare that to an hour or two before this where I was surfing facebook and stumbled upon some lad trying to flog oxford models for 3x their retail prices because they had Irish company liverys.

 

a touch under 60 euro for an anpost ford cargo?

Nice little bus!

P.S.: You need to brush up on your Spanish, I'm only being helpful.

i keep putting off the i6 because its too modern for my liking and I'd been hovering over this for long enough to know that not buying it would be regretful.

Have vivid memories of the horrid red machette, I think from taking BE busses from caslebar(shudder) to galway around ten years back. they still had these yokes knocking around.

Good value
