This truly is a NICE EB find

[up148]

I don't believe I've ever seen CLW locos assembled this well. Bill sure comes up with some unique items.

Agreed, these are beautiful and with all three powered would likely pull a serious length consist too.
Photos are top notch as usual, six days to go too, I'll be interested to see how high they are at close.

I have seen an unpainted F7 that would almost rival a Key version. I think it brought pretty decent money, as best I recall.

Thanks for posting that - the listing showed up in one of my saved searches, but I didn't bother to look at it because the thumbnail in the email caused me to think it was a set of assembled All Nation kits.

Whoever assembled those CLW kits certainly did beautiful work!

Sold for $570.00, which is $190 per powered unit - that seems like a steal to me since it's just a little more than what 2-rail chain-drive Weaver RS3s have been selling for!

........... 2-rail chain-drive Weaver RS3s have been selling for!

Those have really gone up!

Hard to go wrong at that price. Much nicer than All Nation in my opinion.

[bob turner]

Agree - but All Nations are pretty darn good. With windshield bezels, they would be really close!

The listing says “Nicely plated” why would you brass plate them?

Noboy here?

I send best wishes to the guy who split an H10 kit into three different auctions. I hope somebody buys one of the kits to complete a project, leaving the seller with two less valuable fragments that cannot be made into a model.

I was considering the rods, valve gear, and cylinder pile, since I have boilers and tenders, but someone has already spoken for that, and I won't be driving the price up.

Correct, Noboy here, I am almost 75. That said it's not really anything to laugh about!

Seller has every right to do so.

Get revenge don't bid! Feebay gets worse and worse. I'm glad I was around to enjoy it in the early days when it was pretty much wide open.

And it's worth what it sells for....unless it isn't

Case in point. Three days ago, Mecum auction on the TV.

2022 Bronco. Finally got the seller to remove the reserve at $75K.
Announcer was amazed. "Right here in front of me, I have the Ford listing for that vehicle, equipped as that one is, MSRP at the dealer, $46K"

So, for the privilege of "winning" at an auction, you pay almost $30K MORE, and THAT model I read has the highest depreciation right off the dealer's floor.

So the buyer probably threw away close to $50K.

NOT worth what it sold for.

Try to insure it for $75K.


Stupid.

[E7]

It could be that the price bid was chump change to the buyer, and they just didn't give a sh*t what they paid, or the bidder was just stupid. Stupid crap happens everyday, and it's no BIG news, been going on forever. Put it in the "so what" file.

Mecum is a reality tv show. Can you disprove that was not an ad paid for by Ford? After all it just made us talk about the Bronco.

Can you prove it was?
