Walt, I have plenty of cardboard boxes if you're interested. I promise you'll get the Tyco forum member discount.

This one is sooo nutz ! Seller had some pics of this Tyco track lot that was not clear. I email him/her to ask if I could get a good photo of the Road & Road Crossing as I was thinking of making an offer for it. He quickly added several photos of the Tyco #5755 piece. When I later look at the auction I noticed a change in the description claiming, " THIS PIECE ALONE IS WORTH $75" , stating this piece is SUPER RARE...
I'm not sure where he gets his pricing info but I have never seen a nice NOS on card sell for near that much, not even close. The one in this auction is pretty dirty but will clean up nicely. The starting bid for this auction is easily 10 times more than its worth...

CRAZY UPDATE. Normally I won't kill time with eBay sellers but Earlier I sent the seller of the above auction a message.
I wrote ; I'm glad that I read your auction description and I never knew that these Tyco Road & Road crossing are worth soo much! I have some rail crossings too, are they worth anything? Any other valuable pieces? Thank you! Walt. And included this pic.
This brain donor writes and claims; the road & road are the rarest. The road and rail are common but like 30-40 each. Don't list too many or it will drive the price down.
Really??? LOL !! This mental case is trying to feed bullcrap to a person who has 25 nice crossings? Where does he think these have been for the last 45 years ? Don't ya just love BS'ers ?

Yes, Jerry that's right. The seller has his track lot at $139 opening bid which is totally nutz. I'm gonna see how many times he relists the auction and how much the price goes down.
Its the older Tyco and very unpopular due to the connecting tabs breaking off. It's what I use but I have many replacement pieces on hand. If his auction sold for $10 plus the $15 shipping I would be really surprised.

Not really crazy, except in the sense it looks like something John Allen would have designed:

Who in their right mind would pay almost $68 (including shipping cost which is $12) for a Model Power GP-20 in Erie Lackawanna livery with no package whatsoever?

Really? The most I would pay for something like that would be $20, maybe $30 at the most. I've seen engines in that condition and with very similar build quality for around 15-20 dollars on a regular basis at the train shows I go to.

It means the little sneak is piling up key words to cheat the search engine.
Looking for parts? You'll find this. Looking for good condition? You'll find this. Looking for a beast of burden? You'll find an A55.
People used to do that sort of thing with web sites to optimize them for Google searches until Google caught on and started detecting those tactics and shoving those unworthy pages to the bottom of the results list.

Thre is nothing sneaky about it. You have to look at it from the seller's point of view. There are a lot of items posted. He needs to be able to attract as many as he can to look at his item. You should be able to judge for yourself from the photos, which are clear and large enough to definitely depict the condition accurately.
He is not asking too much for the car and in fact his shipping is free. Most people ask more than the $7 he is asking and want another ~$5-~$7 or more to ship an item.
The A55 I am sure is for his use in packing and making sure an item get's to the rightful owner... Which is a good thing. He is also sacrificing ~4 valuable descriptive characters (Inc space key) in his limited space title block to make sure his item is properly identified during packing.
EBay is littered with all kinds of JUNK! It's getting harder to get your item spotted. The junk listings are the ones where you type in "engine" and a listing for brand new re-prints of old reefer car sides (originals were embossed, but reprints are cheap flat knock-offs), trees or people, fake blue water that looks like someone made a puddle of Elmer's glue with blue food coloring in it... or some other stupid scenery item pops up... Now these people are abusing/spamming the key word use.
I think this guy's listing is fine, considering how bad some of them really are!
My listing used to be seen by dozens of viewers after five days in a seven day listing... This week, I have many that have been seen less than 20, some less than 10. 
I used to list everything starting at $1 or less, but now I can't take that risk. Been burned too many times. That's frustrating!

I don't have to look at it from the seller's point of view. A search is intended to serve the purpose of the person doing the search. He wants the search to return what he's looking for, not what every seller wants to force him to see.
As for the part about the A55, I was referring to what got this posted as funny in the first place. Note the reference to a beast of burden and what letter is shaped like a 5.

I'm still failing to see what if anything the lister said that was shady in his description? Furthermore, I see nothing in it to suggest he was trying to be misleading or fishing to have people see his items. I think to be honest, he threw the "for parts" in there to cover himself from the people who buy something used and then complain when there is a single flaw on it. Believe me, I've had them too!

Nobody said his description was shady or misleading. It is technically true that the car is in good condition for parts. The parts it is not missing are in good condition. (It's missing a ladder and, apparently, a brake wheel.)
Gmoney was probably not alone in his confusion over whether the car is "in good condition" or "for parts". The wording seems an improbable way to say what's being said. It may not be overly cynical to suspect that such strange wording is intended more to catch as many common search words as possible than to clearly communicate an idea.
It could be completely innocent, but it does remind me of the old search engine optimization tricks from before Google got savvy.

| eBay makes you fill in that condition descriptive thing for some reason and it seems to take precidence over the photos or the actual description. So you cover your butt by saying for parts and then if someone complains you can point to it.

Good Lord!
I was only making a joke; I guess I made it too subtle. I didn't mean to start anything!
As far as any confusion on my part is concerned, the only thing I was thinking was that here is yet another idiot with a poor command of the English language (or thought processes).

Well, if the "anything" you figure you started amounted to much of anything, my foot's probably in my mouth up to my belt. I hope no one took all of this to be a real flame fight. I think of it as some observations on the part of several of us.
Carpe Manana!

I didn't see any flames, nor any smoke, really. It's just the fact that I started anything at all, just because I was trying to be funny. And I wasn't being defensive in my last response (which is partially quoted in this post); it was simply an explanation of my intent, with a little humor thrown in, hence the "" emoticon and the exclamation points. (You'd think I would have learned to leave out the humor!) I hope I didn't accidentally start any real fights.

Well I have to agree with you, but on the other hand - definitely unique and collectible
I have heard something is worth what it will sell for

Note the cutaway locomotive takes offers on the price.
I find with those listings you need to set the Buy price very high or people just bang Buy It Now without any real though and if you have something put away in storage you have to drop everything to get it out and get it out the door within their new rules of like 48 hours from payment the tracking must show a scan. Just spent two hours tearing through stuff around my computer to find a wheel bearing for a car I listed like 3 years ago and had forgotten about because someone hit Buy instead of making an offer.
