Hi. I have come across a very clean Lionel Commodore Vanderbilt, the light gray model which I believe is from 1996. Would anyone want to hazard a guess as to a fair purchase price for this model? It's full scale, Pullmor motor, magnatraction, TMCC, Railsounds, etc.
With all the new bells & whistles on the new Legacy steamers the Vanderbilt and similar steamers have been on a downward spiral. A fair purchase price is what you want to spend, you could check E-Bay and see if any are on the site and what the bidding is going for.

What is the asking price?
There is one on E-Bay with a buy it now at $380, bids at $315.
Asking $550.00.
Thanks. I couldn't find that one but I did find a 18405 777 - NIB - with Buy it Now at $475 with free shipping.
Your part number is off. 6-18045 is the correct number. The price sounds like a good deal - Greenberg's price guide has it for $678.00 (Mint condition). I really pays to invest a couple of bucks on the price guide; it has saved me quite alot of cash. Too many pople out there plead ignorance and over price their stuff - or are really trying to get over on you.
Greenberg pricing is on the high side, typically a cataloged item will sell for a lower price on E-Bay.
