mwalthers, I too had a bid get away from me at the last minute. I too laid in the weeds for a week waiting and watching for a mint Riverossi (AHM) steam 2-10-2 the auction was at 40.00 and 10 minutes later it closed at well over $200- It took me 2 days go get the shakes out of my system I thought 40.00 was not bad for one itty bitty steam engine that is 30 years old. but tell that to the 12 or so bidders who all feasted on that carcass eye gouging and elbowing each other with last minute bids worthy of rail tycoons who only desire to acquire the item at any cost just to show the rest of us phesants who is boss. <br /> <br />After that experience I very carefully plan my purchases and cheerfully watch items sail past my maximum bid which is based on what I can get at the LHS or other location at a lower cost. I am happy to see the poor sap pay too much for the item. <br /> <br />Regarding the walthers barge I too paid too much for mine but wont part with it. I too hope that Walthers will take note of the sad state of affairs and the current prices these things are going. Hope that will float thier boat for a re-run.
