    Holy cow!! One hundred dollars per car. Unbelievable!! :eek: :eek:

    I have a tough time shelling out one hundred bucks (Canadian) for an engine.

    Yes P.T. it is true...I just wish that this bidder had bid on some of my items in the past, then I would have enough money to finish my layout AND switch to DCC. Unfortunately, he didn't and I will still have to build my layout a piece at a time...

    P.S.: Those pipe cars were nicely done, but the price was nutty. More power to the seller, as he did get someone to pay the price. Long live capitalism, where any price someone is willing to pay is a fair price.

    $600.00 WOW!
    Seriously crazy.
    And shipping is $18.00!!
    Couldn't cost more than $6.00 with insurance to ship.

    It must be worth it to someone, obviously...

    :confused: Did you also see what he paid for a brass loco in a previous eBay auction?
    Oh well, good for him. It's his money.

    I'll bet he's not married ;)
