Cheap, Chintsy Marx?

How did you know I have a 333?

I was prowling around Crossroads Antique Mall in Hershey PA, and found a Marx boxed set with the 1095 A-B, and several freight cars. The condition was excellent, complete with track and transformer, box in nice shape. Price was $190, with a 10% discount for cash or check. FWIW. And, no, it isn't mine. Sure was tempting tho. The days of $15 boxed Marx sets are long gone, eh?

The 3/16 scale NKP dump car is extremely rare so I am not surprised at the price, but even though 3/16 Marx is one of my favorites, I don't want one that bad.

jumijo:  There are just three Marx engines I am interested in, the #999, the #333,

and the #1829...so I assume everybody has at least one #333.  The gray NYC passenger cars in the set with the #333 is a really common set.  The bid has gone

up to over $600.  While I am sure I have not seen one before, I am trying to remember if I'd heard of it.  I don't guess anybody has ever brought one to the Marx

meet at York?

I'll see John Fox tomorrow. I'll try and remember to ask if one has ever been displayed at the Marx Show N Tell.

antigue malls are a hit-miss. I've seen some high prices for what should be in a junk box, but then I've gotten some good deals also. a local antique shop has a boxed 999 set, in fair to good shape for $125-$150 IIRC.

The NKP Dump Car closed at $2550. Not bad.

hello guys and gals............

I once had a Marx #490 steam engine back in 1960 and see some on evilbay for like 10 dollars.  I never knew what ever happen to the #490 all those years oh well.

Thanks, Steve.  What John said sounds like there is more than one out there...guess

I better pay closer attention to what looks like six inch in the bottom of junk boxes.
