    Actually, I believe I saw these offered retail a few years back for just about this price and was goshfounded. I think I may have one or two or these that I don't need. I might oughta list them- at less than this price.

    Looks like it was used for a door stop. An excellent example.

    I give up. What is it? Looks like a mix of parts from an electric drill, a pencil sharpener and an N scale flat car.

    Looks similar to a jet-engine equipped snow/ice remover I've seen before, for clearing out turnouts.

    I was looking for any description of the item, as far as condition, whether it runs, etc. Am not seeing anything. Just what seems to be an incorrect bunch of smoke.

    It should win a longevity award..It's been listed since 2012.

    Maybe there is a hint in that for the seller.

    Here's one that really gets my cynical side going.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/86-Hi-Cub-B...569846?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item35d1c44df6

    Even though it's an item that I am actively looking for, when I checked out the cost of shipping it, I nearly choked. I am seriously tempted to email the seller and tell him to get his head examined.

    Either they are a complete novice to shipping items from Ebay, or they are just a swindler looking for me to be their sucker, but for $11.95 to ship one car, they likely won't get a bid from me.

    How right you are! I wonder what the individual that bidded on it plans to do with such a thing.

    Based on the limited information that eBay now reveals (to protect profits -- I mean, the trading community) I would say that the seller is no novice in using shipping as a profit center. Several dings from buyers on shipping costs and a DSL of 4.7. The "standard shipping" could be an envelope with a postage stamp or two.

    Another one for my Ignore List.
