Jim,
The 2332 with the number you give is listed at $550.00 excellant and $650.00 like new, for like new it must look extremely nice and show NO signs of wear! I am assuming that it means with box for that price.

An additional concern for the CC GG-1 is that it has the dubious distinction of being the only Century Club engine (if not _any_ Lionel engine) that had an alkaline 9V battery installed at the factory.
True, "newer" alkaline batteries do not leak as badly as ones form 20-30-etc years ago, but it is something to be aware of. That battery has been in there for almost 9 years or so now, if the engine is still sealed, or "MIB".
I suspect Lionel did this because it is somewhat of a chore to remove the shell. Unfortunately they didn't consider the other side of the coin for people that might never remove the battery.

Thanks Jim, I am just a penny pincher that's all! Basically I like a good deal and to have customer service support should I ever need it.
Remember these are 2006 prices from Greenberg's, so the price could go up or down in 2007 or 2008. There is a posting about the Lionel Century Club products and I think guys were complaining about the value going down on their Century Club trains, not 100% positive on the values.
I think I'll pass on it. Thanks, Lee. You're really not as bad a guy as everyone says.

If you want I new 2332 - Trainz.com has a Postwar Celebration Series 2332 - rare black model for a nice price(well below book value). I also have a few PW items I'm looking to sell if you might be interested - email me if interested!
It's a Lionel Century Club 2332, complete with everything it came with. I have a bead on one for $590, but he is willing to come down a bit. Just wondering if that's a good price.
The same guy is offering me a Lionel 226 AB set with a 217 B unit for $350. It's a Boston and Maine Alco uncataloged set from the post war. 1960 I believe.
Jaabat,
Is it a Lionel from a few years ago or is it another brand?
I didn't find it in the Greenberg's pocket price guide for Lionel trains 2006 copy.
What's considered a good price for a Century Club 2332 GG1 with boxes, display, etc?
