| | | With only 21 hours left this 6066 camoflouged output is stuck at just $17.50 (URL) ones have gone for $60+ Is there anything wrong? The reason I ask is I was just about to put one on auction myself, but if there is no demand I may as well keep it. (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | (...) Not *wrong* - just something that scares off lots of people... Shipping costs. The runner of the auction lives in Germany - there's a $10 fee for exchange rates, + minimum $10 shipping... My guess would be, people don't wanna take risks with (...)

| | | | | | | (...) Yeah, I'll second that-- with either $10 or $20 shipping and a $10 "bank fee", (unless you want to pay CASH [rather dangerous]), that's between $20 and $30 more than the listed price. In addition, there's also wait time. In the US, shipping (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

| | | | | | | | I checked on some closed auctions involving some sellers from Germany...very few sets got "great" bids, even for desireable sets like the #6666 Ambulance. Still, it's hard to tell in a market with no set prices. Perhaps two Forestmen Collectors or (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

| | | | | | (...) Coupled with the fact that 6066 wasn't that *great* a set anyway. I certainly wouldn't pay $60+ for one, not even new in the box. Heck, I doubt I'd pay the original retail price for one new in the box. (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

| | | | | | (...) Those fees seem outrageous too--if you want to pay in an IMO in DM, I guess you could--but I can't possibly see the shipping costing that much by air. Shipping three much larger sets from the UK by air doesn't even cost US$25! I wonder how (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

| | | | | I see nothing wrong with it other than the fact that is is an opened set. Remember, bidding tends to get fast and furious as the auction nears completion. Check to see what it goes for when the auction is over before deciding to sell yours.... (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
