NWR-Gordon-4 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It does not surprise me that Spencer and Murodch comes in this section. Should not R9257 Spencer come under this section? This is rare too. I am surpirsed The Majestic Train Set is classed as a rare item. I can remember five years ago, back in 2013, when this was released. Crazy that it's that long ago.

new lad on block Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hi Gordon, Spencer R9257,last sold for £247 on Feb 7th. May have brought more a while ago, but out of time scale searched.Items listed may not be low production runs but classed according to prices realised.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 OK, I understand. Both Spencer models are. R9749 Spencer is rarer, due to less models being made, but newer, which could be why people want these than R9257. R9257 Spencer is still rare, so either Spencer's are worth owner. The Hornby Spencer is a rare locomotive to own. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 As a collector nothing there floats my boat, sorry. I buy models I like rather than an investment, you never get rich by buying to invest and sell at a profit in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidboy Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Thanks for that Barry, snapped it up, bargain. 😉I think it's on there twice Brian - that's asuming you would require two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 It’s 6 pieces of fence, can’t believe it’s such a bargain. Think I’ll go for the other set as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Six fences for over £500.00?! That‘s stupid. Nobody will pay that! Now I must go and look for the listing. UPDATE: I just found the listing. It’s being sold by a business seller, who sells things at sky high prices. They won’t sell those fences packs. They need to give at least 90% discount, to sell them! 😆 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new lad on block Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi, there as been a few in the past who over rate items. Prices are for what they sold for, I did not include asking prices, as some are too fantastic.I have lots in my collection that are worth a lot less than I paid for them.The problem is that one sale may achieve £2600 the next, £400.I do expect all the 'Papyrus' to come out of the 'woodwork' though.

Bulleidboy Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Really excited with getting those fences. You can put them around your "gold-plated" Mallard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Yes indeed. I could gold plate the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
