Did nobody tell  this seller on ebay not to let on what was paid for this originally ?  :confused1:

Just a wee bit of inflation and Beatties has been closed down for years so it must be an antique.

If they had only put L@@K in the listing, that makes for a guaranteed winner  :laugh3:

Those wagons always seem  to go for good money  on  ebay John  though you'd think a bit of common   sense &  lighter  fluid to remove the label would  have been  done.

I love the comprehensive description as well, they've really captured the essence of the item without being over-technical . . .


"Fleischmann red wagon" :laugh:
