I'll be surprised if it goes for less than £90.

This auction  item is now up to £62.00 in three days. Must be in short supply , or someone really wants it.

They generally sell around the £100 mark. My secondhand one cost me £105 in 2018.
IIRC they were made in 2007 as one batch in GWR shirtbutton, Great Western, and BR late crest liveries, with multiple numbers for each.
The weak point in terms of second hand visual appearance are the fine handrails and cab rails. They can easily break. There is damage on the one you are looking at, if you look closely.
My advice is to look out for a good one, as they come up quite regularly.

@geofff well I believe they were a good model and expensive back in the day.  They're not something I follow on ebay (it's not German :) ) but wouldn't surprise me if it gets to £100+.  Ebay search reckons recent examples sold for £75, £90, £102, £118. No doubt there will be a bidding war in the last few moments.

reading this thread prompted me to get mine out of the display cabinet today--to stretch its legs.  ( cost me £70 on ebay about 3 years back. )

one thing to watch out for--is if you run it on DC--it may well run in reverse....but if it does--just stop it and start again.  Mine does.
i used to be indecisive...but now i'm not so sure.

I've had that happen sometimes with decoder fitted locos in various scales. Depends on the decoder, but it seems more likely to happen if you turn up the DC power too slowly to the initial voltage the decoder needs to "wake up" properly.
