Biggest joke I've ever seen on ebay

Guys,

Give it a stinking break...We don't need to know about every piece of junk on eBay...

I hope Trains will go the route Atlas did and BAN all linking to eBay... These threads are useless, meaningless, wastes of bandwith..

Plus I'll go for bonus points here: How many of you people who rip into "rivet counters" every chance they get are the first to fly into one of these threads and rip somebody on eBay for listing junk?

You said it,David!

Thanks, ModelTrainman![;)]

MaBruce, thank you for engaging me with an intelligent response... My first thought isn't to run to the administrator, but you have a point. My approach didn't solve much except for some venting about this..especially after it slid downhill under the weight of people piling on... By the looks I struck a nerve and perhaps made my point, but in hindsight your approach may have had more of an effect.

Lesson learned..

"ITS IN A GOOD WORKING CONDITION

THE TRAIN MAKES NOISE WHILE MOVING

THAT EXPLAINS THE BIG WHEEL THING UNDER THE TRAIN!"
Wow, all caps, and it makes noise while moving...........Who wants to bet that the wheel (track cleaning car?) has no effect whatsoever on the sound? It'd be funny, for sure.....
Don't worry guys, these ebay jokes are really good for a quick laugh!

Hi There;
Actually " THE BIG WHEEL THING" is not a track cleaning car. The wheel is filled with plastic pellets that rattle around & supposedly make a chuffing sound.
I remember when these things came out Mid60's. Poor mans steam sound.[:D].

Hah! I've never heard of anything like that! I stand corrected, eh?

Can i suguesst that if you just want to laugh at people that you sign up with one of the free forum hosting sites and laugh at people there. It isnt hare, it just takes a miniute.

Stop wasting everyones time

Oh yes, pushing it down that whole one spot, at most a single click away. Yes, the one ebay topic that pops up every couple weeks is going to sotp someone getting the help they need, and of course we're forcing you to read this and waste your time.
Despite your opinion, some people enjoy a laugh about this occasionally, and I actually learned someting from this thread. Now are you so quick t call it a useless waste of everyone's time?
