    LOL not all ebays are sorry I've taken a different tack and, winning two auctions, got sixteen 1/4 turns, thirty-two 9" straights, and 4 terminal "classic" ModelMotoring slot-tracks for $19.26 (plus ship(s) which are always BAD).

    Am thinking will elevate the track, with guardrails, over the R.R. just so grandson & I can race while everything else progresses too slowly . .

    I’m not really into slot cars so I don’t know if that’s a bad deal or not, but getting a 69 GTO for $20 is always a good deal.

    Did you see prior post? Daughter just bought a new wizard, glass-controlled '23 Buick Envision for $42k plus and, if had the cash, would have taken this Malibu any day! (hehe it wasn't on 'ebay')

    Spoiler: Then add a 'new' ragtop '69 GTO, free ship, for 19.99!

    I Think the seller here meant to add .000 at the end of the $20.

    Collectable = 15% price increase
    Vintage = 20% price increase
    Rare = 30% price increase
    Very rare = 40% price increase
    Collectable,vintage,very rare item = priceless

    Do you know how to figure prices?

    Me, If I Do Not Have to figure it out.. the actual $ yes, I am able to do the ARITHMETIC . In other cases I am Unable to do the Arithmetic !
    1- Because I don't have to think about it
    2- If I am being told to solve the Equation I cannot.

    The vanderbuilt tender on these 2-8-2's is a great starting point for kit bashed locos like SP AC4's to AC6's & MT's.

    I have 2 !

    *sigh* check out the corrosion on this "original" $62.95 Camaro "on-sale" for $47.21 as the seller has an itload of these all in the same shape!
