I am considering purchasing two 4561 Railway Expresses. I have no interest
whatsoever in the train parts, so I would be either selling or auctioning all
of the parts except for a few of the town-related parts. (To be honest, all I
want are the windows, corrugated bricks, and the trans-red 1x1 bricks.)
So this message is more an effort to gauge interest.
I am mainly concerned about getting "stuck" with the train parts such as the
track, speed regulator, wheelsets, motor, ramp, wagon plates, etc.
I am considering the following:
1) Selling the parts straight sale at roughly 80% of the S@H price.
IE, the track would be around $1 per piece, regulator would be $36, etc.
2) Auctioning the parts at a starting bid of 50% the cost of the the S@H prices
of the same pieces.
The main issues for me (not being a trainhead) is that I have no idea whether
additional speed regulators are even useful. I can understand why one would
want more track, couplers, and motors. At what price point would one consider
buying an extra speed regulator? (A fair price, not a "I'd buy one for $5
answer").
In terms of selling or auctioning pieces, would you rather see them grouped
into large lots, ie 16 curved rail pieces, or smaller lots such as 4, 2 or even
one. Or would you prefer a mixture?
Alternatively, is there anyone who has purchased a 4561 who would be willing to
sell me just the windows for 25-50 cents each?
Thanks for your feedback.

| I now own at least 6 regulators, so I'd have to get one for not much more than $5 to be interested at all.

| Not to discourage you or anything, but you might want to know that this is already being done by Dwayne Towell, and I believe he purchased something like 10 sets.

| (...) Not sure if this is useful where you are, but I just bought a 4560 from www.toycity.dk for UKP44. This is identical to the 4561, but without the wall-wart / regulator / connector. Sounds perfect for what you want. The price compares to UKP100 (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
