N Gauge Discussion / Re: Ebay Is Dead To MeLast post by Bingley Hall - Yesterday at 05:48:38 AMIt will be interesting to see if Ebay dropping seller fees will have any impact?
I've avoided selling or buying from Ebay for a decade or more, but my try selling a few things again. When it comes to secondhand prices, Rails of Sheffield currently have a pre-owned 'Peak'for sale for just 4 quid less than a brand new Rapido one will cost you.

Having listened to it right through now it's very interesting and in parts right up my street but it is very much of it's time. Obviously influenced by such artists as early Genesis, Caravan and perhaps Man with a bit of Camel thrown in. I rather liked the somewhat laid back vocals. #49

N Gauge Discussion / Re: Ebay Is Dead To MeLast post by TeddytheSpoon - June 06, 2026, 02:59:13 PMWhile I haven't been looking for anything particularly rare on eBay recently, I've found the experience of shopping on there to be slightly grating - you need to be quite diligent to spot the deals.
I've seen a similar thing happen with my other vice, which is LEGO sets. The last decade or so has seen second-hand prices for some sets go absolutely bananas, and I suspect it's down to an increasing number of people treating it as an investment. Certain people have seen it as a way of making a quick buck, rather than something to be enjoyed, and the Internet makes it easier to find the gullible ones willing to pay the inflated price. It boils my p- er, I mean, it annoys me greatly, and I wouldn't be surprised if certain people treat model railways the same way. Either way, I do prefer to buy stuff from model shops than on auction sites. You may not get the juiciest deal, but they're generally pretty honest about what you get, and are more thorough with testing etc. Clark Railworks and Jane's Trains have both provided me with some very reasonable second-hand rolling stock. | Please Support Us!
