@stan2004 posted:Just checked eBay and the most recent actual sales show a used DCS-RC for $30 buy-it-now which seems reasonable. A new unit, which includes the handheld remote (albeit unneeded for this application), went for $200. There are a couple sellers actively offering new DCS-RC for a whopping $250! Yikes. It wasn't that long ago guys on OGR were giving away (just pay shipping) unused/unneeded DCS-RC units as they were included in MTH Starter Sets.
Stan,
Thanks for checking! I did see the new ones going for exorbitant prices and regarding the OGR units as usual I'm a day late and dollar short. Unfortunately, I could not find any available via my normal commercial outlets. Petersen Supply did have a web page showing one in stock, but it was an out-of-date cached web page according to the exceptionally pleasant lady I spoke with at Petersen's. I'll post a 'wanted to buy' here on OGR and put some feelers out to the normal 'train collection recycling' businesses along with a recurring search on eBay. Surely one will turn up at some point. Thanks again.
Barry
