I love it when people include 4 or 5 power packs in an auction(NOT!) ; they're heavy, they're out-of-date and unwanted....and it just adds to the cost of shipping. I guess they don't realize most buyers don't want them.
Hey, now, Micro, DON'T be putting Bachmann down....wasn't it YOU who wanted Tracksters?  (exclusively Bachmann ) Bachmann rolling stock is no worse than Tyco or Life LIke. I just bought a set of Bachmann Thrill Show cars, and lets see, my vintage Kelvinator boxcars ( a la AMC corp ) are Bachmann's as well. True, the engines tend to be junky and possibly WORSE than Tyco for reliability ( and noise ), but some are ok. Only nit with Bach for me is that the cars are usually VERY shiny, not a matte finish (dull). Highly unrealistic, prototypically. My problem also with Bachmann is that there are very few of their cars I really want. The unusual ones ( Kelvinator, THrill show ), or the specialized ( Tri-level autoloaders and Tracksters ) are my preferences, but their run-of-the-mill cars don't do a thing for me. So when I see an auction like this one,I usually pass on it. I only bid on huge lots like this when it has enough variety ( and things I want ) to be worth it to me. Bachmann lots rarely is for me. I'll pass on this one. I DID watch an auction last week, with THREE Tracksters and a couple other cars, wound up selling for $28 (more than I had in my Paypal account just then after buying other stuff,) so I had to let it go. I look for smaller lots, usually.

Being a former school technology administrator and dealing with all types of content filters, I've seen quite a few unfortunate abbreviations. Association, assorted, and assembly seem to be very common. I've seen some far worse abbreviations....and then I have to explain to the 60+ year old teacher lady why her emails were being blocked. I don't miss that job.
Actually it's too bad about the trains. If the shipping wasn't so ridiculous, it wouldn't be a bad start for some kid. Not the best locos, but it would be a start.

| I could afford the trains but not the shipping. Did US Postal rates really go up that much the first of the year???

here is his answer
No, it was 4.00, don't know how that happened. Sorry, it's $4.00. I will have to end the item then relist it. Unless you want it, you can just purchase it and I will revise it when I send you the invoice. Let me know I can end the item and fix it. Thanks V. Mancheste

He has it listed at $4 for shipping now. Not sure if this guy is all there based upon the $4/$50 comments above.
