Amazing prices

Remember, asking prices and selling prices are not the same.

There are a few VL Big Boys on there now for 3500-4000 bucks.  Not exactly flying off the shelves.

You can click "sold listings" on the left hand side of the page. That way, you can see what prices people have actually paid (ie. the market price). If an ebay seller lets you make them an offer, base it off of these sold listings.

Also, keep in mind with the TIUs that MTH isn't making the remotes after this last batch.

One dumb buyer.  I don't see them go for that much routinely.

At least two.  Remember:  the selling price is actually determined by the 2nd highest bid. . . .

It was a "Buy It Now" listing not an auction.

I don’t believe this was a “buy it now”

maybe another one was  

And while it’s true that these “selectively priced”🤪 items are not jumping out the door...

the “Specimen” who are trying to get these prices are destructive to the purpose of eBay—which makes me wonder why they even allow fixed pricing. 

a bid platform should be strictly a bid platform, and just like real auctions, the seller should get the right to refuse if the bidding doesn’t meet expectations-and that should be determined before putting on the sale block.  

I’m curious who else has a Budweiser Anheuser Busch train collection. 

Certainly I’m not the only one🚂😆

Yes, you can-perhaps those attempting to sell should be doing that before listing their item.
