http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lionel-212T-212-and-6017-50-/321819872349?hash=item4aedf58c5d You have got to be kidding me, right? Used and abused. Power unit nose around the headlight smashed, dinged, nicked....does that look like a crack from the middle top of fireman's window, off behind the horn, and down the back of the engineer's side? The dummy unit looks like it's cracked on the nose from fireman's window, across the nose, curving down past the number board? Rusty spots on engine frame. Caboose wheels are dirty..lots of running buildup on treads. Paint is discoloured and blotchy....touchup? Attempt to clean and polish? Is this the same guy trying to sell just the rare box with the sharpie lettering for a grand a while back? $3950 BIN, really? Opinion. Dave
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1936-39-LIO...-error-w-OB-/271943580679?hash=item3f5119bc07 MTH. 1990-2010. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lionel-S...689?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ee3a3d979 Whole set of three in a box for less than 900..that's 300 per car...and so what if the PO swapped nameplates around? NOT a "rare" 1936-1939 original for $3750. That's the problem with early MTH repro Lionel standard gauge...we knew it was going to be, and it is...moron sellers cannot (or will not) see the difference. There is no way the nickle plating would be that shiny, even hermetically sealed. Opinion. Dave
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lionel-O-Tr...XES-AMAZING-/121718221591?hash=item1c56f8ab17 Yes, it's a Milwaukee. No, it's not the rarer orange cab sided unit. Look at the list of stuff included, see if you can figure out where $3300.00 plus $150.00 to ship comes from. 1955/56 GP 7 MILWAUKEE ROAD LOCO 2338-15 1955 OPERATING STOCK YARD SET AND CATTLE CAR 3635 1955 AUTOMOBILE CARRIER WITH 4 1954 FORDS 6414 1955/56 ROTATING SEARCHLIGHT CAR 3620 1956/57 BURRO CRANE (SELF POWERED ) 3360 1955/57 TWIN PIGGY BACK CAR WITH (2) TRAILERS 460 1955/57 ICE DEPOT AND REFRIGERATOR BOX CAR 352 1956/58 OPERATING CULVERT LOADER AND GONDOLA 342 1955/59 BAY WINDOW CABOOSE 6517 1955/59 OPERATING SEMAPHORE 151 PAIR OF SWITCHERS 042 175 WATT TRANSFORMER TW (15) PIECES OF STRAIGHT TRACK (10) PIECES OF CURVED TRACK Track usually included so seller does not have to pitch it.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lionel-759W...265?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c9da5c6c9 setbox only! Creased, torn, worn, stained and taped! Yours for only $3250.00! Opinion! Dave
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LIONEL-2343...160?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5421f29638 2343 Santa Fe DUMMY A unit ONLY for $1,995.95 plus only $14.95 shipping! Full set of A-B-A isn't worth half of that. From Mountain Lakes, New Jersey. But, that's just my Opinion. Dave
Again, using the "set-a-price" dart board. Worth something, but not that much. I wish they'd stop abusing the word "set". It's not a set. An accumulation, a lot, a grouping, etc.
I mis-spoke. Isn't worth 1/4 of the asking for a full A-B-A set of 2343's in that condition. Look at the staining on the sides of the shell, the chips, discoloring or paint touch-ups on the apron, the chip on the roof, and there is something seriously amiss with the horns...but, only one (poor) photo to go buy. Almost looks like the bottom horizontal side stripe has been re-done with a brush...but again, with one photo, hard to tell for sure. I'd give him twenty bucks (delivered) for something that is a repaint candidate. Hoping the adage is true..."there's a sucker born every minute", eh? Opinion, carefully. Dave
http://www.ebay.com/itm/JAMES-COHEN...TAL-GONDOLA-/252043502018?hash=item3aaef6a1c2 You can buy a new Joe Mania version, green with ribbed sides, for $725 MSRP. TCA considers them as close to authentic as you can get. Joe used Jim Cohen's tooling starting in 1992. http://www.jlmtrains.com/278gauge.htm Not exactly sure I'd be stupid enough to pay more than double what a new one costs...but there's a sucker born every minute. Opinion. Dave
http://mthtrains.com/11-2010-1 Produced for 2010 (hence the part number), new was $1499.95 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lionel-Corp...o-Sound-2-0-/141726607479?hash=item20ff906877 And the asking is....$1499.95. A five-year-old MTH piece....and they want you to pay fill MSRP list for it..and it has wear and paint bubbling. Sorry, no sale. Opinion. Dave
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LIONEL-POST...etal-Tender-/291523752525?hash=item43e02b724d Escapees from the junk bin. Even though shipping is "free", these pieces should be, too.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/CY-VINTAGE-...VE-2026-027-/370622896402?hash=item564ad89912 Rusted, corroded 2026. Looks like he might have sold the tender that came with it for more profit elsewhere. Four hundred bucks? It isn't worth 40 in that condition, and with no tender. 10 bucks, especially with: "BEEN IN STORAGE FOR 30 YEARS OR SO? I DO NOT KNOW IF IT RUNS" Opinion. Dave
