I don't have any but I see a bunch of those things at shows... They don't go for a lot typically. Wait a second.... there's none for sale on Ebay right now.... Huh... I guess maybe they're not as common as I thought...

I remember the classic line from All in the Family: "stifle yourself, Edith." Which is precisely what
I am doing right now. I really want to ask this guy what brand of marijuana he is smoking and
where might I purchase some:

Perhaps I should relist my mint NOS Tyco coal cars for $3,000? Who knows? Maybe
someone will take the bait.

Sorry, I know it's not nice to tease dumb animals, but I couldn't help myself.
I sent in an offer for $5.00. To my surprise, he counter-offered at $73, so
I sent an additional counter offer for $3.99.

Looks like they dropped the shipping and handling down to only $15.00, what a bargain!
I wish people would do some basic research on their items before posting things on eBay.
Consider this title...
Tyco Brand Santa Fe Piggy-Back Service HO Toy Train Car Plastic RARE! Vintage
First, "Brand" is redundant!
Second, it is not a train car, it is a Truck Trailer.
Third, it is anything but "rare".
Fourth, maybe I am old but I don't think anything that was made after I was born qualifies as "vintage".
Why don't these people look to see if similar items are already being offered in other on going auctions?
As a personal note, whenever I put items up on eBay I try to stay away from words like "rare", "vintage", "mint", and "collectible" because they are now just meaningless cliches!

This auction demonstrates another eBay buyer pet peeve of mine (besides the outrageous opening price).
Why do people insist on grouping individual items in lots?
Each of the items in this auction would sell much more easily if they were sold individually (for a reasonable opening price) but together most bidders will balk at spending extra money on additional items they may not want!
Come on people, posting items for bid on eBay is easy! It pays to take the time to bid your merchandise as stand alone items!

With that Bachmann hand car for a powered truck (1 axle drive), it probably doesn't need couplers, lacking the power to move much more than itself, anyhow.

Here is a good one....
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1980s-HO-Scale-Weathered-Burned-Amtrak-Passenger-Car-/222267101098?hash=item33c026cfaa:g:0nQAAOSwknJXz0iT
Pay $26.10 for a melted and burnt Athearn coach. This item keeps getting relisted, I have no idea why.

| That one is a mess for sure. Don't know where these melt downs are coming from...

I actually own a domeless dome car with a burn mark on it
I do like it & it will end up as a scrapyard display piece hehe

I suppose this coach could pass for a wreck damaged car that could be found in a scrap yard or car shop yard, but the price is still to steep.
