$850 seems very fair to me.

"Also on the bottom of the car it says "Made in" and that is it. so this is an ERROR CAR. something just a little more special about it."

"Thanks and I hope the winner will treasue this car."

I think he would have treasured the 850 smackers some fool might have coughed up for this a lot more.

Take a look at this auction. I almost spit my drink all over the screen when I saw the final bid.

You know, after viewing the Purina auction, I fully understand why it is sooo encouraged for people who ride motorcycles to wear a helmet!!


And I thought the BJTrains lady was nuts asking $129.00 for the Tyco Burger King kit!!!


UnbLIEvable!

After emailing the seller, I found out that this Purina Box car was completely full of gold! It was heavy enough to merit the $10 shipping!!

Hey Guys! I emailed the guy with the $850.00 Tyco Purina just for fun. I ask him if the price was atyop, or a joke?? Below is his slow reply, must have needed time to think this up!

Thank you for your question. It was actually a bet I had with a friend of mine. David Hass.
I bet him $100 that 50 year old virgins who live in their moms basement would send me questions about these silly flea market plastic trains. Feedback scores needed to be over 100 so we could not cheat.
I won on two auctions and lost on one. Thanks for your late question it put me over the top by $100.

The train set will be burned in my fireplace friday night along with a G I Joe Jeep during our poker game

I guess this nitwit enjoys throwing away money just to pay for the listing fees.
