Granted, I have not seen the Smokey Mountain Central car to often on eBay, but I have seen it three times over the last nine months. This however is rediculous and if's it is someone here, shame on you.

* Many car are produced in limited runs. The train store car is like many before it. It isn't a Rembrandt of HO cars. Just another car that few were made. A good piece for people who collect train store cars. I don't think there are to many doing that. Still a good find. It is just a attempt by someone to put some make believe value on a car.
* Remember !
You can fool most of the people, some of the time.
And you can fool some of the people, most of the time.
But you cant fool all of the people, all of the time.
I think this was written by a salesman.

Hey Buss ! I guess that member may be out fishing for that 1 in 1,000,000. people that is gullible. I would guess again that the one person with the spare cash to spend on a nonsense car like that, has done it already. He most likely has missed the boat.

| If it were a Delta Lines boxcar that was actually on the Delta Lines layout, then i'd pay a price like that. Looks like an ordinary boxcar.
