    The buyer took that option and stopped the auction.
    The starting price was $85.

    Maybe the purchase wasn't about the trailer, hacked or not. At $8 that's $.25 per wheel! PARTS DEAL!:LOL:

    I'm confused. It almost looks more like an HO item pictured. The description notes "horn hook couplers". Although will likely try to twist that as Rapidos, that used to be the description commonly used for HO X-2F couplers.

    That looks like the stock photo Atlas had on their website of their N scale decorated GP30 from their decorated body section on their online store.
    You'd think the item you're trying to sell would sell better if you presented an actual photo of it. But I'm no salesman.

    I won't touch anything on ebay that uses a stock photo to represent what is being sold. If there isn't an actual photo of the item for sale, I'm not interested....a great way to get scammed.

    Same here. I want to see a photo of the actual item. This is either a lazy seller, or meant to deceive. No matter what, my caution lights come on.

    For the price it's a nice start for a SW1001

    Yes. The price is decent. Although when I see this kind of "customizing", I do have some small doubts about it.

    If the wheel base is right, it would make for a good SW-1000 also.
    Done in a proper Rio Grande paint job of course!
