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.

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.
