Chris: I certainly don't have all the answers, and the older I get I think maybe I have none of the answers. But in trying to answer YOUR question: sounds to me like a case of a seller and a buyer agreeing on the value of two items. The definition of the value of an item is: What a seller is willing to accept and what a buyer is willing to pay. Period and end of story. And IMHO, what you are missing is the frenzy of the auction place. Happens all the time at live auctions. I remember seeing a guy pay $20 at auction for used metal shelves, when he could have gotten the same thing, only new, for $8 at the local Wal-Mart. And I have to tell you, if I had lots more money, I would advertise in the train magazines for new, in the box items, pay whatever the seller wanted, and go home happy. It's all relative, and only money. If you've got it, spend it. Respectfully, Roy Inman :)
Please help me to understand this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=480&item=3111384190 This is a Pike's Peak coach in red, 5 digit, currently bid up to $811.00. No, not Lira. Not Yen. DOLLARS! What am I missing here? The Grand Canyon business car is up to $350. Gee, for only $1161.00 plus shipping, I can own two old plastic S-gauge toy passenger cars. Or, I could by two complete 7 car sets with engine from AM and get change. The guy who buys this will never get his money back for it. That has got to be the peak price any piker ever paid.
