To be honest, I'm kinda starting to ponder seeing if I can get a whole bunch of the gons at a stupid-cheap price (like, maybe $1-2/car). I've been taking older gons of similar type, mostly from Bachmann, and converting them to log cars by cutting out the center 4 panels and adding side stakes, which will be later upgraded to actual bunks. Since most of these cars have Rapido couplers, I'm also replacing the trucks with Micro-Trains, though on a few I'm thinking pairing them with a drawbar. Yet despite being Bachmann, most of the donor gons I find are easily going $10/piece or more. So if I can get a bunch of these cheapies, it won't matter that they're ugly and non-function 'cause I'm going to cut them up and change trucks anyways. Assuming, y'know, I can find a lot of them at once.

All, Arnold n scale 0-6-0 steam locomotive | eBay < For that $110.00 I would at least expect The SlopeBack Tender and the proper drawbar . minitrix n scale 0-6-0 steam locomotive | eBay The jewel case reads Made In YUGOSLAVIA therefor I would suspect this would be MP-Model power and not worth $80.00. However it is Understandable if in wrong JEWEL CASE. AHM STEAM STEAM LOCOMOTIVE 2-6-4 Q1 B AT&SF N SCALE MIB | eBay From what I observed with these Three items I would think not worth the $ for them.

All- Though this is not an N-SCALE item it is worth a honorable mention here. HO Scale TM Train-Miniature 2217 Tobacco Road Series Box Car Camel **RARE!!** | eBay somebody's comment on another model Rail Line site was > $199.00 he has to be kidding. Tom
Perhaps, if you just need the Camel box car to complete your set, maybe that makes sense to a collector. Or you can buy the whole set of 48 for just $750 on eBay.
Recently saw an MTL Santa Fe "Bicentennial" Auto Rack (no such thing) for $500 plus shipping. Not posting the link since I'm not going to encourage this...
The problem isn't seeing them, it is the people who keep posting them. A cure would cause the postings to stop.
MUST SEE con-cor n scale tracks bridge atlas train car lot tree crane Parts Trix | eBay $290.00 with postage ..shipping the Total will be $304.20 . What would you offer ? Tom
Someone is trying to empty their junk bin. Those items didn't total that much when new. Dropping the "2" off leaves a price still way too high.
Oh, I dunno...maybe $30? It almost feels like he took photos in 2 or 3 different places to make it seem like there's more to the listing than there actually is. But maybe I'm just reading too much into it.
There are time when I have to laugh with what people put on ebay . There are times when I see those Damned RD READERS DIGEST Promotional items, those Cab ROOFLESS , Broken - Severely Damaged Walkway Locomotives from countless Manufacturers and those people Simply See the manufacturer .. ATLAS , KATO BACHMANN and immediately think of Either the SMRP , see the $ Manufacturers Discount $ , a MODEL RAILROAD HOBBY SHOPS Sale $ and think their Items will sell. Here is one that make me laugh as well > Atlas N Scale Train Cars **FOR PARTS OR REPAIR VERY MINOR** | eBay < $69.95 Is He NUTS !! Tom
With 24,000 transactions, I'd guess he/she is just another estate buyer clogging eBay model railroad listings with trash at random prices. You'd think that after a while, they'd realize that it's not worth their time to photograph, describe and post this junk.
