Atlas O Berwick Hy Cubes Hype????

I did not pre-order any of the cars.  I watched the Ben's trains YouTube review and well that was enough for me to place an order, actually two orders.  Can't wait to unpack all five I ordered and take a look.

You were lucky to be able to find them!!! Which ones did you order may I ask?  I got the UP & L&N

The ebay prices are fake and shill… look at the bidders… most of the time 1 feedback.

I would have to disagree Chris, just looked at them again. There are a few of them that are long time Ebay sellers. I do agree that the shill bidding is a real thing. Regardless, the prices are crazy IMO.

So, I am just wondering what all the hype is with these new cars? The prices on E bay are unreal. Now, I realize they are beautiful cars buy most of what Atlas O produces is. I am glad I pre-ordered some from my dealer, plus was able to get the C&O & B&O versions from METCA (Thanks Stu) Of course most of us do not know how many of each were produced, just amazed at the attention over these. Any thoughts???

The METCA ones are around 40-50 each, I believe. Atlas...who knows.

I picked up:

Stockyard Express: DT&I, L&N, Rio Grande

Mr Muffin: NS and Conrail

When there is a frenzy of interest, people take advantage of that on eBay, for certain, and I am sure some just sit to raise the prices..

Are these made from former MTH molds?

John, nice group of cars you have coming!!! Yes, some though not all people on E bay are ridiculous Thanks for sharing what cars you have coming!!

They are beauty's Clark! I love to watch the utube channels. But when hyping them up and saying over and over again these things will sell out, that's what does it. Please no disrespect meant to these guys. Just open them and show the cars or an engine. Then let nature take its course. I will be watching and doing preorders in the future. Thanks Dave

Mark, I believe these Berwicks are all Atlas. When you see an Atlas car in a blue box with honeycomb design they are former MTH. Dave

I met a nice guy from dealing on Ebay. We are going to do a trade. I'm sending him 2 that he needs and he is returning 2 that I need. Reminds me of old days trading baseball cards!
