I've seen it go way beyond $300 - $400 ... I wonder if the credit crunch will effect this set.
It is a lovely set and it's definitly on my wishlist - but not for that price!

"Elucive" is an interesting definition to this set.

(Love it! :love: )

You have to take care when buying secondhand fence sets because they can often be missing small parts which the seller might not have even noticed - the latch to the gate and the small beige-coloured plugs, for example.

You can still construct the fence without the plugs, but having uncovered holes doesn't look quite as pretty. (I can see one missing in the first auction pic.) It depends how fussy you are. Missing parts annoy me like crazy, but you could hide one or two missing fence plugs with some strategically placed shrubbery.

What is the average auction price for this set on eBay.de? I wonder if it can be bought slightly cheaper from Germany because there are more of them for sale. I suppose now that the Pound is so weak against the Euro, there are probably far fewer bargains to be found on the European eBay sites... :(

Bonsoir Sylvia  :wave:

I am a bit of a perfectionist and I do not like missing parts too but my aim was mainly to follow up on these 2 auctions and see how well they will do :yup:

At the average rate of £150.00/£300.00 for a complete Fence, I very gracefully pass my turn...

I will look on Ebay.de for this item and will update you accordingly :yup:.

it's kind of mind boggling what prices people pay for sets on ebay at times.
Sometimes it's so rediculous....

I've seen people pay hundreds of euros for a set while at the same time, same kind of set and quality was only going away for a fraction of that price.  ??? ::)

As discussed in an earlier topic thread about Lego vs. Playmobil, Playmobil needs to consider reissuing a popular series like Lego has done in the past with its STAR WARS theme! Lego realized adults were willing to purchase these reissued items, & I feel that if Playmobil brought the original Victorian houses, cars, trucks, & fences molds out of retirement, & offered them at a reasonable prices for a limited time, they would have some money making winners again!
Karim, how many Vic fences would you buy if they were reissued for say, 48.00 GBP each complete, or the yellow car for 33.00 GBP, or green delivery truck for 39.00 GBP? ???
