4029 is it now super rare?
« on: January 13, 2015, 16:14:09 »
Was watching this auction. It was at $275 this morning and I was thinking that "oh it may hit the $300, which is over my budget" but let's wait and see. Then some new bids showed up. Bam bam bam $450 :o  5 bidders, And 2 who are in a battle, any snipers showing up to the party? Only minutes to go.
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Although one sold in June 2011 on eBay UK for $600, a single bid.

There were 2 snipers hiding in the bush......$720  :o

I guess the answer to my question is quite obvious  :lol:

Looks like it was in really good condition aside from a bit of damage to the box. 

These always seem to go for $400 up, but they are coming up less and less now, so, if you want one, you have to pay top dollar or find one underpriced with a buy-it-now.

It was me who won that train hahahaha

i was planning to pay no more than 500 but i decided to make a hole in my wallet.

Also AMD made his move in the last second and the auction went to 721.

I personally think that this train is extremely rara and also beatiful, so why not pay a little bit more for it.

No question about it, it's a great train set. Yellow box, red cattle car, and the penn. engine.

Are you planning on putting an engine in the tender?

I just hope it's not going on a shelf for the next 20 years, again. Run that train and show us  ;)

In my opinion a train should drive around and not gathering dust.
