What I noticed was the four cars on the display's top line - the two low-priced ones appear to have Kadees or clones, the two higher-priced ones obviously have horn-hooks...
Also, he might think he has two trestles, but they look like trusses to me. (People who call a bridge a `trestle' because it's being used by trains are one of my pet peeves.)
Fortunately, due to my choice of prototype, nothing he has tempts me.

Folks will pay what they want for what they want. I know what I'm willing to pay for a particular item. When it goes above that amount, I either lose the auction or move onto another one.

On the bids, notice it went from $40.00 to $99.99 in one bid.

At my local club, I got 4 of these with handmade coal loads and kadee no5s for $40.00. I must have gotten a steal. OTOH, I got a kato sd40-2 for half of the retail price on ebay.
I know this subject has been visited ad nauseum before, but I gotta mention this one. I'd been watching this auction, not with intent to bid, but just because it was for something in which I'm interested and was curious what they'd go for

A final bid in the $20-30 range seemed reasonable for four Kadee-equipped Blue Box hoppers with loads. So when I checked in this evening and saw the winning bid was $100.99, it made my head spin.
I have a bunch of Blue Box and MDC/Roundhouse cars I've lettered for the Monon. Maybe I should put a few of them up for bids, too. I just might be able to pay for my kids' college after all!
