oldline1Hey............I have a Chattanooga Choo Choo 2-8-0 you can buy to pull the searchlight car. I think I can let it go for about $7,500! John Wayne once watched it try to run! oldline1
Would you consider $7,500.00 Canadian? That's all I got.

dknelson By the time Tyco used that logo (1972) and packaging Lucy and Desi were no longer married. And nowhere is it directly claimed that they, or one of them, owned this item - just that their daughter had used this eBay seller to sell some of their stuff. Hmm. As far as I'm concerned they got some 'splainin to do. Dave Nelson

Since I went to look at the item before reading any replies - that was EXACTLY my first though.

Shock ControlThanks. I won the auction. I figure it was worth $2,000 to have the car owned by Lucy and Desi. Thanks all! The internet is a wonderful place, and everyone on this website helps to make it all the more wonderful! Add Q

Southgate I think you're right, Sheldon. A decimal point typo can be pretty easy to miss.

Are you referring to the celibate who posted the ebay auction?

So did I get a good deal for this car? It's pretty rare, right? Plus, I got Lucy's and Desi's car, right? Only $1,999?
Shock Control mbinsewi Totally agree with Maxman, NO where does it say it was owned by Lucy and Ricky. Just a testimonial, supposedly from Lucy, about how great Connectibles (the seller) is for selling/auctioning items. Mike. Thanks. I won the auction.

Considering the fact that they have another listing for that same car at $19.99, there is a good chance the listing is a mistake or a glitch......

It's likely a Tyco typo and should have said $19.99 ...
Still high though.

Shock ControlSo they are charging $2,000 just for a ubiquitous car.
No, it is not a ubiquitous car; it is a floodlight car.
In any case, at least they are not trying to rip anyone off for the shipping.
Shock Control maxman Shock Control the very one previously owned by Lucy and Desi: No, it doesn't say that anywhere. I see. So they are charging $2,000 just for a ubiquitous car. Makes perfect sense. The Lucy and Desi angle is certainly implied, and I suspect it feeds into the price. I've got the high bid, by the way.

I don't get it. What implications am I missing? I see the seller has some Lucy junk items but also has some rolling stones stuff too.

...you can own the ubiquitous Tyco/Mantua floodlight maintenance car - the very one previously owned by Lucy and Desi:
Or, you could just find an identical one for under ten bucks.
