Hi Geoff,

cars in this condion are really execeptional. So EUR 271.66 (todays exange-rate) is not so far from truth. I bought more expensive cars in the past.

Seems a bit high...

But in very good condition. The seller's others items aren't the best deal either. Knowing ebay, someone will probably come around and place a single bid

Hi Geoff,

not to be misunderstood: This is no bargain. But A realistic value compared to German prices. The USD is very weak for EUR-people in the moment, so buying in the US became very interesting in the last months.

Well said Markus,

Comparing Marklin prices between different countries is an interesting calculation. I have almost been able to convert a German sold item price to a US sold item price. This is useful for finding an appropriate value for an item.

The differences in EUR Vs. USD has been very helpful for the "SMART" buyers and sellers.

Something to watch:

Bill,
Yes I was looking at that one. For easy conversion of currency use a free currency converter like this one I use
