I just paged through Facebook Marketplace for the first time, browsing N Scale and DSLR cameras just for the heck of it. My goodness, the prices are in the stratosphere on both categories, completely crazy. High Speed junk galore, old 1970s locomotives at $100 and in cameras, most are old models, posted at prices higher than brand new models that replaced them! It seems that few Sellers take even five minutes to research what their stuff is worth. It's been taken down from Facebook Marketplace, but yesterday a local man was attempting to sell a real caboose owned by NS on NS land. It's in horrible shape and suitable only for scrap. Rumor on the Facebook forums is that the NS Police were aware and ready to prosecute.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/274738780585? Did the seller install working reefer units....just wondering why.
WOW!! retail at $24.95, marked down to $19.95 and on FeeBay for $410.00 for the 4 car set. I'm gonna watch this and see if he gets it. If he does, I'm gonna make my millions on FeeBay QUICKLY!!
https://www.ebay.com/itm/274738780585? Oh, that seller again. Another one for the "ignore list"-- this is typical pricing from this particular offerer.
I must admit I felt a bit sorry for this lister-- it's the only item said seller had up-- and sent a note explaining that no, these are not Kato...
Model Power N Scale Pennsylvania ALCO FA-2 | eBay< Clearly Looks Like a BACHMANN EMD F9A ..see photo. Tom
I would be wiling to bet those came from Jim Reisings estate. I bought 992135 for 15.00 from his collection to make a tribute 'car'. Maybe he paid 60.00 for 4 and so 100.00 tops would be fair IMHO> .

The Bachmann looks like one of the series that suffered spilt gears and the tender is only front truck pick-up and for that money one could have an all wheel pick-up.
The Missouri Pacific U23B has been on eBay for a while! The seller has not shifted the price to a more reasonable sale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Last night after I made the comment. I DM the seller and told them that their price was only good if it was DCC with sound. Someone had to do it! Although I am not interested in it. Because I have this one already. But I know a few people who are collecting the Missouri Pacific road just like me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Or removed the obvious original price sticker of $104.95, which if I recall correctly was the original MSRP. No one will get anywhere messaging this seller... said seller is just looking for that <one> person willing to pay $235 plus shipping plus tax (including on the shipping) for the loco, and there is no discentive to keep the listing up until that happens.
