    And still wants $3.65 for shipping. Come to think of it, if you're going to pay $195 for that car, why not go another three or four dollars?

    He even touts that the original price sticker is on the box - albeit for $6.49. You could click on "Make offer" and enter $6.49.

    I'm betting that this is a typo he didn't catch , maybe he meant $5.00 starting bid ? Looking at his other sales it all looks kosher.

    I concur with that analysis. Similar cars he is selling are listed from $5 to $11. A locomotive at $50.

    My shameless self-promotion: I have a similar Atlas pulpwood rack car for sale on Trainstore. However, my car is probably worth a lot less as a collectors' item, because I have modified the original car to more closely resemble a Santa Fe prototype. It would be of interest only to modelers and model railroad operators. And no nostalgic Rapido couplers.
