Another eBay Shocker

And we all thought that Ives “Chicago Flyer” tender went for big bucks. Check out this Lionel turbine! And the seller doesn’t even know if it’s legit! [:0]

At least there’s a “Discount avaibable” off the $10 shipping!! For that price I would think it would be flown in and hand delivered.

Unbelievable. It never ceases to amaze how soon a fool and his money can be easily parted. This fool is not stupid enough to bid on an item like that.[:0][:0][:0]

First of all, no one has bought it yet…and probably no one will. Second, it’s not up for bids. I was amused at a $10. shipping cost for a $50,000. item…just throw that sucker into a padded envelope! Joe

WOW for 50Gs you’d think you’d get free ship?

I’ve got a wood carving at home that I may sell for $100K. I think it might be the prototype for the Brio

Looks like a $50K paper weight to me.

And it is an ugly engine as well!
I really can not imagine somebody spending a years salary on something that could be valuable or might be not.
Would somebody have soldered something together and made a good story as Ebay description? Could it be a hoax? If the seller can not deliver a “proof of authenticity” than any figure over 100 USD is probably too much anyway.

Heck, it looks to me like someone spilled a bottle of brass paint on it.

If it’s worth that much, they could at least offer some detail pictures.

He just had that on ebay about 2 months ago for 35,000 dollars… I remember it exactly, it didn’t sell.

I wonder why he raised the price

12

well when you’re in a fantasy, might as well dream BIG.

Oh, he was just making it even more valuable !! [:D][:D] I don’t see any bidding wars going on yet, though !!
Thanks,

I think the Chief might trade him the one of a kind Roseyville Goat for his one of a kind Lionel Engine. [:D]

15

And I got some ocean front property in Arizona [:D].I’ll give you a real deal and no closing costs.I work for Fly By Night Circus.er,uhm,I mean real estate.It is a shame though he doesn’t have some documintation.Would be cool.

16

Hey, lets be careful with the reference to Arizona ocean front, we Californians are sensitive to that! [;)]

17

Now that the CHIEF got his BIG raise he can afford to bid on it.

Now that Antarctica is melting, I have some nice beachfront potential here in Dallas!

Well. If i had that i would sell it for maybe 3 grand. What would raise the price is it isprobably the only one made. And it isnt on record. for 50 grand is, well, not, not the price it should be. Also he or she should prove it even works.
I forgot. You could buy 25 Acelas Instead. wich any one would rather do.

Found another goodie. Has 5 more days to go and the bidding has been pretty frantic. I think we should pool our money and get this one for Doug Murphy.
