I have this 3656 Set Up for sale on eBay
And the bids are up to 167.50. What m I missing with the rarity of this? I’m thinking I should keep it if the price is so high. I just don’t know why.
Could someone please let me know
Thanks,
John
Well, the whole bunch is in quite good shape, however, the car itself is not a rare variation.The number 3656 car with white letters and the Armour sticker is valued at $23 in Good condition and $54 in Excellent condition. I’d say that it’s in Very Good condition. The number 3656 stockyard is valued at $28 in Good condition and $47 in Excellent condition. I’d say that it’s closer to Good Condition, maybe Very Good. There’s extra cattle, and 9 of those (unless they have the rare rounded ridge on the base) are worth $15 in Good and $27 in Excellent conditions. That doesn’t come up to $167, so I’ve got to place this on either some of the bidders having sharp enough eyes to see the base of the cattle or just getting over excited–wouldn’t be the first time. Keep in mind that I’m using my Lionel price guide, which is excellent but is not an accurate depiction of real prices, which frequently vary substantially from the official prices. Either way, unless the cattle have the fancy base, then I’d suggest that you let the auction go through!
As has been said many times on this forum, the value or worth of something is what someone is willing to pay.
thanks for confirming what I thought. I checked my Greenberg’s and I knew this wasn’t the Armour variation. I just didn’t want to sell off some rare variant. Must just be 2 guys that really want a clean set up
