I was chatting with a friend of mine and he mentioned he had some old H.O. gear that belonged to his Grandfather if I was interested. I took a quick inventory of the items and was wondering if you guys thought $150.00 would be a fair offer. The items are listed below. He told me to make him an offer (I hate it when they say that) but I really can't afford more than $150.00 so let me know if you think my offer is fair or if I should try to come up with a few more bucks before insulting him. Thanks.
