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/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:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_dkr=1&iconV2Request=true&_blrs=recall_filtering&_ssn=andrewclarkmodels2&store_name=andrewclarkmodels2&_oac=1&_nkw=dublin

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!

Picked this one up today myself, not perfect but good enough for me:

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.

Yes, Dave, the Royal Mail's International prices are a nightmare for anyone trying to trade. I was sending a book to Australia and the guy at the counter asked for £20 plus (so doubling the price of the book - it was Tony's latest).

However, if you study their rates and are prepared to do some the work yourself - the cost just about halves. Perhaps this guy is a bit lazy re keeping the costs down to his customers?

I had a look at the Addresspal thing, as Sean suggests, but note that you're still landed with not just the VAT but a charge for them telling you what you owe. Bearing in mind that it's all done by computer and no human hands touch it - it makes the average Company for Theft and Murder look reasonable in their dealings.

I've deleted the expletives about the Little Englanders who took us out of the EU.

Ever since Murphy Models announced re-runs of refreshed baby GMs, there seems a good supply of second hand original MM/Bachmann 141/181s for sale these days on eBay and FaceBook at sensible prices compared to the ebay Rip offs up to last year.

 

Is this Lima junk heap for real: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126084988109?hash=item1d5b403ccd:g:cLsAAOSwK2hk-1q5&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4H7A9PqdHeNNp42Rvalq8lyE1%2B%2BkmzoGDDUbqHqfsGs0CHt6hVrgc7WqpPNeZBZTeGiTey%2B7NInF3XFcAiXp5JPDc2SUWwOh3ZDVxAuhx7NqV7EdizUq6whhH6Geb8256j0oiU5D2K%2BcOniw6xqabi2ZhXn6RFmOIpdYyV%2Bh%2FeYXQlQ8xZRRRlO2GM0ciwlgrHm6MkaDCdnWG5%2BK9qp3UcBAjTLGXWSzF4zm8%2BzTn7pzu4qjCB5Pr5EjkHAmq8OzL2acaAyLcIukb0TSTY3Tc3jVYcUUeilB9rP%2BcQshzuov|tkp%3ABk9SR6KYoZ7eYg

 

I've two of those hideous Lime class 33s painted orange pretending to be A classes in the attic for decades and don't think they are worth much more than a door stop nor a paper weight, perhaps static scrap line scenery on a layout. Pure junk, how this clown thinks there are worth €40 0+ is beyond belief. They don't look remotely like an A class even at 20ft.

Does your domestic supervisor need a new coat?

Get her a Ballybrophy coat. Ideal for going to exhibitions and trudging round model shops behind you.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334866370054

Picture 1 of 3

Only £160 - but, if you watch it for a few days, you'll get an offer of £120.

Is she worth that..?

Lads, lads!

Christmas is coming and this Ballybrophy coat is back on and currently at a mere £6:50.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276107719505

She has to be worth that, and it'll do for her birthday, as well.

Always worth keeping an eye on the Silver Fox eBay page. Aside from those GNR coaches, they also have Dutch vans, and we'll all need Dutch vans for our IRM Mk2B/C packs next year! Lots of Jouef Mk3's, too, and lots of spares.

Silver Fox:

https://www.ebay.es/sch/i.html?_ssn=skmodeller&store_name=silverfoxmodels

Even though this guy here is a gouger, he does list some Irish things that are worth looking at, if not buying, although his descriptions tend to be rather creative:
