I found a junk lot of old freight cars for $90 BIN on ebay. There's a few older things in it, including a couple cars I've really been looking for, but most of it I can't use. I figure I'll go for it, if I can find someone who'll take the rest and maybe split a bit of the cost. The guy posted 5 pictures but ZERO description, so I circled the bits I'm interested in. Anyone willing to take the rest?

I get:
2 beat up Athearn tankers, Shell 3-dome and a silver one
A 2-bay hopper and 40' gondola that look like they're falling apart (worth it just to find out what they are :P )

You get:
Base to an autoloader
Roco ATSF caboose shell
Tyco Silver Streak caboose shell

I get:
Globe 40' Rock Island boxcar (looks like shell only)
Baby Ruth reefer (looks like Ideal Models, maybe?)
Cardboard flatcar with weird trucks (prolly rubbish)

You get:
Tyco Bulkhead flatcar (dunno what roadname)
Tyco 50' BN boxcar
Athearn 50' SD boxcar shell, undec
Roco PRR caboose, minus t/c

I get:
Train Miniature 40' reefer, Gerber's, minus t/c
Shell and floor/frame to build Athearn "Modern Billboards" 50' Hamm's boxcar

You get:
Box of Tyco brass track, curves
Spirit of 76 caboose shell
Some ATSF 40' reefer (if it's old and cardboard sided I might want it though)
Roco (maybe bachmann) BN caboose, minus t/c
Tyco GN flatcar and some 50' piggyback flat, minus t/c

I get:
Varney 40' Boxcar, Maine Central, minus t/c
Bottom to an Athearn Heinz pickle car (the roof is there but I already have an extra that needs a bottom)

You get:
Pack of Life-Like scenery bits
2x ATSF caboose (I think this is bachmann, don't remember for sure)
EJ&E 40' boxcar shell (don't want unless athearn or roundhouse, looks like mantua?)
Roof/end piece to Athearn pickle car
Athearn express reefer, can't read roadname, minus hatches and t/c

I get:
Athearn metal 40' steel reefer, IC, minus t/c - I have been looking for this car and the Hamm's boxcar for months!

You get:
Mantua Hershey's 40' reefer, minus 1 truck
Peabody quad hopper shell - almost certain this is Athearn but I already have one
Another 50' piggyback, can't tell what road, minus t/c
Tyco 50' BN boxcar shell (literally worthless)
Tyco Pepsi-Cola 60' double-door boxcar, minus t/c
Base to a Bachmann NYC centerflow covered hopper (don't ask how I can tell from the picture what the piece all the way in back is, but trust me, that's what it is)

Sorry for very long post! I figure if there's any takers, I'll buy it, when the box gets here take my pieces, close it back up and mail it on to the other person once they've sent me a check for their portion. Do tell me if this is a terrible idea.
