burnthebox Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 For those who like to beat the rush....... BTB https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Murphy-Models-MM0111-MM0112-MM0113-Class-071-111-NIR-Blue-Locomotives-OO-Gauge/143241477226?hash=item2159db7c6a:g:hq4AAOSwze9c0EQz
Noel Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Rare as hens teeth. Yes noticed those three models going as a set before, and may be of interested to NIR connoisseurs, but NIR not really my cup of tea being absent from my nostalgia memory. Continental and Foreign models despite the close proximity to the CIE sphere don't really light my candle. But I'm sure they will find a good home with a NIR modeller/collector despite the price. Probably never to be rerun again.
WRENNEIRE Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 So these work out at around €375 a pop AND he is looking for around €60 postage So landed on your doorstep for nearly €400 each, not in my lifetime baby As a wise man said to me once, "I don't mind you shi**ing on me, but don't rub it in" 1

JasonB Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 There's always one gobshite out there that's just waiting to have the piss taken out of them. And the seller's are well aware of it. Somebody is going to get taken to the cleaners.
jhb171achill Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 That's just crazy. Like others, I'd be keeping my wallet shut. 1

spudfan Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 When I looked at that I thought it was NIR selling off the real thing! 2 5
