Here's an auction ending today that is already up there - a metal Mantua/Tyco vintage Union Pacific Sharknose.

The UP Shark normally goes in the $40-$50 range. The winning bidder ran it way up, then paid an excessive amount for it. This auction is a perfect example of why it pays to snipe.

I completely agree with waw47. Bidding day after day only runs the price up. If it's something I really want, I bid with 3 seconds left in the auction...

Same - except I am a bit safer by bidding around 6 seconds before it ends.

Thinking on RP, I entered bidding over some Marklin Catenary that had
0 bids and 0 watchers at $10. I waited until the last 90 seconds.
Bammo! Someone else dove in and it was all out war until the last
3 seconds, past my Max Bid, and waiting the last agonizing seconds
for it to post. I won by a nose. Must have been bidding up against RP!

Well my Marklin Catenary arrived today. First surprise is that it is flat, like two dimensional flat.
That will not pose any issues, just not what I though. Also, the end of each feed rail is just
slightly bent upwards- no doubt to prevent the pick ups from snagging.

I've wanted to build some dummy Catenary for years and years, finally going to step up and do it.

I went through a gondola phase, I just had to get as many as I could. But I rarely paid more
than a buck or two for each.

Need buildings for your layout? Here is a lot of what appears to be 7 Plasticville USA building kits plus more signs, signals, ... for $69.50. Seller is advertising a Ralston Purina train set, but it looks like more buildings than cars.

Speaking of Golden Eagle sets, here's one that is much cheaper:https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tyco-Golden-Eagle-HO-Scale-Model-Train-Car-Set-Engine-Caboose-and-More/182869087659?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49007%26meid%3Dc82c3b3439584058805fcddb9368c321%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D192322286122&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

All the cars are included I think, but some of the accesories aren't present. Hope this helps someone!

I do like that bloody nose Amtrak, but one can see the brush marks quite
clearly on the blue stripe. I'd be a buyer at 25, not 45, though it is different.

Looks like two people wanted that bobber!!

The auction below is not funny, etc, it's a Tyco piece I will pick up some day. It's the Kellogg's hopper with the red A&B letters, found on some of these hoppers. Don't know why I want one but it's caught my eye...

Last week this was listed on Ebay for $59.00. Relisted this week at a $20.00 opening bid. I couldn't pass the old pack art. I was the sole bidder Wednesday evening...

Neat item, Walt! Nice find, indeed!

Anyone searching for some rare Tyco locomotives (i.e. the Santa Fe Blue Warbonnet C430 & Canadian Pacific F-Units)? Then, here is a seller which has some -- I believe it is the same seller who sold the Northern Pacific Sharknose.

I love the Tyco 630s but I don't think they merit this BIN price!

I see what you're saying Walt. Looks like those pieces found their target
price. Piggy backs can sneak up on a guy, I got so many (common)
ones that I have to double head them.

Now this little grouping already has 3 bids on it. The Sanka Car at one time commanded
$40, (now there seems to be a glut on the market). It's a nice grouping, will be interesting
to see how hot this auction gets:

They didn't sell. I doubt they're worth more than $10 for the pile and then only if the buyer
has an obession that day for the color yellor, UP, or gons. Then, you never know. I went
through a mad gondola phase. It started with one simple Life Like Potlatch, and I became a
veritable consumer of gondolas and their cheezy gravel loads:

I am tempted to make him an offer of $7.20, only problem is he
might wake up and accept the offer and then I'd get stuck with
them.
