BR054 - British Supply Wagon Set - advice on cost? (1 Viewer)

[Barkmann]

Need some advice, have one of these and someone wants to buy it, neither of us have any idea how much they go for and nether of us want to be seen to be ripping the other off, searched evilbay and there is only 1 on there, but it is on from a buyer/dealer that is known for putting stuff on there at stupid high prices.

Thanks for any advice.

It all depends on what he's willing to spend and what you want to part with it. Maybe you meet somewhere in the middle.

We have thought of that, but where to start, on ebay the only 1 for sale is £300 which i think, as the seller is way too high, looking at what others have paid?

I searched for sold sets on eBay, and in 2023 this set sold for $100, $110, $125, and $135 (all rounded). I think $100 is a bargain, $150 would be a good retail price, and $125 would be a fair middle ground.

Thanks for the information, much appreciated.

From 'old England' and what is a very 'cold England' at the minute.

Spent short time up in New England, liked Burlington and the abundance of bookshops [new and second hand] in the region. In 1987 [was stationed there at the time] went to one second hand shop, cannot remember where, but it was just at a junction with a store and a petrol station and diner. Nothing else for miles. Bought around 45 paperbacks. He had a great selection of military and historical thriller and momoirs. Two i remember and still have are 365 Days by R Glaiser, a great read on Vietnam and The Killer Angels by M Shaara on the US Civil War, led me to eventually read all his books and a number of his Son's books as well. I think i had around 200 books that i bought back with me, flew back on a RAF C130, so weight and baggage allowances were not a problem.

Thanks again.

You were stationed in Burlington? I am an officer in the Vermont National Guard out of Camp Johnson. Where were you stationed and with what outfit?

Agree with the price ranges above, some sellers ask ridiculous prices, I managed to find the ww2 German Car Ambush $180, new in box, ebay $600 and some on here $400, crazy, ok to make something extra on items long retired, but not 3 , 4 , 5 times the orginal price
