Model Railroading > Ebay BrassDate: 09/23/08 00:14 Ebay Brass Author: trainman502 It never surprises me how much some brass items reach
on Ebay, but can anyone tell me why an Overland SP SD40-T2 #8312 has reached a staggering $2600 with nearly 6 days to go Ebay,item #230293075465, There must be something special about it?. Brian Date: 09/23/08 00:53 Re: Ebay Brass Author: BNSFtehachapiFoamer Thats just crazy to pay $2,600 for a OMI SP SD40T-2. I just won a Overland Models UP 1996 SD70ACe on Ebay and it only cost me $1,400.

Date: 09/23/08 07:02 Re: Ebay Brass Author: wabash2800 I'm glad that when I buy a Halmark brass 4-8-2 or 4-6-2 from the 70's on ebay that they aren't more than $300 each. (Am also glad there isnn't that many Wabash modelers out there.)

There were numerous errors on the snoots from that run..... Date: 09/23/08 09:06 Re: Ebay Brass Author: brassmag Red_over_Yellow Wrote:

Date: 09/23/08 09:09 Re: Ebay Brass Author: UPED Come on Dave, don't be silly. The reason it's going for soooo much money is because it was bought from Allied Model Trains!!

It says on the box 112" nose, I was under the impression that they only had 88" ,116" and 123" nose lengths is that not correct? Brian Date: 09/23/08 13:28 Re: Ebay Brass Author: espeeboy HOLY MOLEY!!! It's up to $4,100. now still with 5+ days to go!
This makes absolutely NO SENSE seeing Athearn's snoot T-2's are just days from arriving at your LHS from China. At discounted retail, you could buy at least 54 Athearn SD40T-2's!!! NUTS!!! ~~~ Date: 09/23/08 13:34 Re: Ebay Brass Author: wabash2800 Well, they say that some people are taking their money out of the stock market and putting it somewhere else that they think is safer... <G>

They look at unpainted brass and think its gold. As to why? If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Nobody has a gun to anyone's head to bid. I'm betting the SELLER is JAZZED!

I smell something rotten in Denmark here... Date: 09/23/08 15:01 Re: Ebay Brass Author: webercanyon A O scale cab forward by PSC costs this much. I wonder if it's a out of work banker going thru withdrawals.
Date: 09/23/08 16:46 Re: Ebay Brass Author: propuldude I'll bet the Auction gets 86'd before it ends..I've seen this before on Ebay, Once on one of mine..The winning bidder had his account hacked by someone and didn't even know he was a bidder until I sent him the invoice..Ebay verified the occurence. Or it could be a really expensive clash of wills...
Date: 09/23/08 17:10 Re: Ebay Brass Author: bnsftim It is made by Alco models and the starting bid is $450.00 just look under eminipper on advance search for items for sale by seller
