I can't believe this!!
Some body just paid over 96.00$ for 4 ( yes FOUR) Precision Scale Beartrap Smoke Stacks on E Bay
Brass HOn3 Loco beartrap spark arrestors 4 total Item number: 290252906183
Take a look if you don't believe me, don't blame you if you didn't.
Precision Scale still makes this , Walthers shows a Oct delivery date expected for them & they are $6.75 apiece!!
When I built my 4 Class C Climax locos , I had one & wanted another so I built another -- nothing to it really .
I just can't even begin to fathom why $ 96.00!!!
But then , I just bought 2 KaDee 107 disconnects from my LHS for 20.75 each, with the HS owner remarking they had gone up about $4.00 since I got the last set from him, but that should not be a problem cause I could always put 'em on E Bay & get 35 -40 bucks for them---- I came home & looked & HE WAS RIGHT -- people were paying that plus 5 -6 more for shipping. ??
I'll keep mine, I buy a set every time I see them in his shop , when I finally retire & build what I want I'll put them all together , got about 20 or so now.
I like Ebay but If I can get it from my LHS & at a better deal to boot --why?
There is a lot of one of a kind bargains on E Bay but not like this!
