No kidding, man. And the part that's even sadder is the fact that in the suggestion bar there's more of the exact same car for waaaayyyy cheaper.

Not even a counter offer back to you, eh? Even when I get low offers, I always fire back with a counter. Sometimes the offers continue to a sale. Other times not. Oh well, best of luck to him and his high expectations.

Rockland .. must be RARE.

The words rare and vintage are more overused than table salt.

Someone is trying to sell ONE CAR from a Tyco Turbo Train for almost $200...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TYCO-Chessie-train-/261784737898?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cf396186a

According to the seller only two of the chessie trains have been listed in four years. Maybe, but $175 still seems high.

New, with non-matching trucks. Apparently, new dirt, too.l

I think 99% of the bidders on ebay are on crack. Honestly I think they just sit there and bid on anything, early and often - not aware that all they are doing is driving the prices through the stratosphere. In my mind I can visualize the room they are sitting in, filled with huge piles of unopened boxes from their ebay conquests.... .
