I have a traditional version MTH Presidents Special that I'm probably going to put on "the bay" as I've seen some here call it. I did runs the cars for maybe 10-15 minutes run time. I have not run the "Commander traditional loco. I have all the boxes & foam etc. I can't find my new catalog that has the red one in it, to go by. I know I can't ask that, but the money is going towards buying some 6 wheel motors for my 4-6-4 600E project. I'm thinking $1,200 buy-it-now. Or should I sell the cars and the loco in seperate listings? I'm not a big seller. So just an estimate will help. I do want to move it. I do know that there seems to me that there's psycological effect that buy-it-now has. I bought a really nice all original 385E for $279.00 buy-it-now. That was a deal! But, it just sat there for a day or two. Then I do a search and see an auction type listing for a repainted junker one starting $1.00, and they fight it up to $550.00!
