I was just curious if anyone has any insight as to why there are so many
4561 sets currently on ebay right now.  This set retails for around $130,
depending on sales and such.  But lately I've noticed that on ebay you can
pick one up from $50 to $65.  I bid on one last week and won my very own • at
$59.00.  I've been wanting one for some time I just didn't want to pay the
full price.  Very happy with my new set.

It is most likely the result of people picking them up on clearance at
Target.  I haven't looked but I would suspect there is a similar glut of
4534, the exlcusive Target bundle of the black My Own Train locomotive and
blue passenger car.
