http://www.ebay.com/itm/Postwar-Lio...782793?hash=item2365809c49:g:-KUAAOSwU~FWCxVF Compare this scrap yard relic to the batch of eight and scratch yer head a bit.
Oh, but it's such an interesting fake. Why, you can dominate dinner party conversation for hours and hours debating whether or not it was simply left out in the sun too long...
Found underneath the dumpster, and hoping for a quick bit of cash. I'll take it if they ship free and pay me ten bucks.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-York-Ce...175197?hash=item464b6d749d:g:QkIAAOSwdU1W-tG1 Now this is odd. First thing I see is 2333 on the base. Okay. Then I see Item 2276. I see the colour of the loco is all wrong. WAY too dark and flat. No size listed....and I look closer, looks like a plaster casting hand painted in China. Try to find that item listed on the Lionel website or anywhere else. Look at the sideframes. No way. Why would anyone bid on something with a description that says "Lionel Trains Postwar # 2276 New York Central F3 Diesel AA Unit 1953-55 , Sorry No Box , Base is a music box with a Terrain Landscape , Beautiful Scale Train ." when A) it ain't an AA, B) no way an LLC was 1953-55, and C) 2276 was NOT an F-3 number. This is a decorative piece, not scale, not a 2333 or a 2276 or an AA, nor was it built 1953-55 (and a 2333 NYC was changed in 1950 to 2344.....so a NYC 2333 wasn't even in the 50's). Rare! Vintage! Collectible! L@@K! Opinion!
I see it says "Licensed by Lionel". Which means they, (and aftermarket source unknown), supposedly have legal permission from Lionel to make and sell this item. Meaning it's not even Lionel. Just meant to look like something possibly Lionel. Ugh.
Here is another music box. This time a GG1. Company name is Westland. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lionel-2332...with-music-box-Lionel-item-2276-/361039228786
Ceramics. If I was a bored zillionaire, I might buy one during a fit of whimsy. Otherwise, no thanks. Junk.
Ah...but it's rare..vintage (ignore the "LLC"), Lionel...scale model.....with all that bullpoo, maybe some clueless individual will think he or she can just lift it off the...scenery and put it on their 3-rail FasTrak and it will run, right? Still BIN at 50, 28 days left, get ready... Looking at the seller, you have a lot of 'splaining to do, Lucy. Almost all the other sh....stuff she sells looks like it came from her grandmother's estate...or at least the closet of the estate.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/EXTREMELY-R...208999?hash=item25b8711667:g:UCIAAOSwP~tW6KON I know some of this stuff is collectible and all that rot...but you could buy a whole bunch of regular trestle sets and have this for...ten or twenty bucks? And NOT nine grand! Heck, I wouldn't use Lionel hanging track trestles anyway..which is why I pitch them. Opinion.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Srunning-Ea...435334?hash=item4afc2dbb06:g:iiwAAOSwJQdW~T~M What is "Srunning" anyway? FIVE GRAND BIN...no. Bent, dirty, in pieces (looks like one of the FA's is missing something on the rear..like a power truck...and is that a melted spot on the roof? At least one bent steamer cab roof, one crane cab loose, two really rough side dumps (one missing everything above the frame) , over on the right building roof missing, helicopter gone, one steamer with no chassis, see all sorts of bits and pieces, and I really like the transformer sped knob. Switch lanterns all missing, everything scratched and nicked..some pretty badly...missile car roof gone, searchlight car with missing searchlight, caboose with usual broken roof, milk car missing doors, milk platform looks like it has been used for years as a tire chock, and rusted, coal loader broken belt, all of it needs restoration and lots of parts..and no guarantee any of it will run. On a chance there is something salvageable, two hundred delivered. Geez. Opinion.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lionel-train-sets-1951-/222003743483?hash=item33b0744afb:g:oNQAAOSwGotWo8rE Do you see two grand here, except for that ultra-rare Flyer power pack that always seems to be included in these?
Unless there are boxes and boxes of additional items, which they forgot to list and upload those pictures?
