WTF.......................

Postby herronpeter » Mon Dec 28, 2020 6:13 pm

A few years ago I bid on, and won a huge box of O scale accessories in an auction for 80 bucks. It was a steal for what was in it for example: over 50 Artista figures! I stopped counting at 700 bucks of stuff, best deal I've ever gotten-made up for all the deals I got screwed on! LOL

Anyway, I just built a station platform and found this Keil-line 2 wheel baggage float from the above lot and built it. Soft metal, kinda cute. It was supposed to be for the SP Daylight service, so I was curious to see a picture of the prototype. while searching, I came across this. Seventy eight bucks!!!!! Anybody have any idea what the fork is going on here?

By the way, here's the only photo I could find of the actual cart.

Peter,

You've had your moment of victory, looks like it's time for another screwing! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you want a serious answer, it appears that whoever does the pricing for trains has lost it.

Trainz is Nutz. Stop right there.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It also gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms, trust issues, and a dark sense of humor.

Totally agree on Trainz. No rhyme or reason for their pricing, but I have noticed in the past year, they seem to err on the side of way too high rather than too low or even reasonable that was sometimes seen in past years. They seem to think everything they sell has collector value and seldom is anything without damage.
