Hello everyone, hope all is well.

I was wondering if you were aware of this website, or if you could provide an opinion about it?

https://www.moba-preise.com

Seems this site will provide a value of your “Z” items and display trends in prices or rarity.

I have tried it on several of my items and without an account it will provide up to three values per day. I don’t know if I wish to have yet another web account, so have hesitated to create one. I did create an account on locomuseum because they said they had a valuation section too, but discovered often the item I enter is not listed.

Do you think this is a safe, legitimate site. I know it is in German, but most device software will translate for you.

Appreciate your thought or experience with this.

Thank you.

Dwight

I suggest to have their "Datenschutzerklärung" and "Kontakt/Impressum" translated and to see the marketing link popping up under the search results.

I think I'd be uncomfortable for my wife to know the value of my trains, so I'd certainly not want to give this website the details!

Cheers

how could it be unsafe? It is not like you are giving them credit card information.

Hello.

My concern would be that this site does a bit to much monitoring or tracking. When I first went into the site, my Apple device advised against visiting the site, but I did anyway.

I believe the values listed do not necessarily reflect reality. Especially now when prices just seem to be rising, rising. It is likely difficult to keep up with it. It is however, a good guide on what could be expected in a perfect world. I noted the frequency that the item is listed. Many of mine are common. A few are considered rare. This would indicate an item is rarely listed on the web. I believe. Tell me, do you have any items which have never been taken out of the package? These would have the highest value. I wonder how replacing the motor to a five pole, for example, affects its value? I think it is possible this information might be more interesting to a seller rather than a buyer or collector.

My favorite thing to tell my wife is “Honey, someday you are going to be so happy for me to have built up this collection.” Oh well what can you do with an addiction?

I think I will tune into this pricing website from time to time.

Take good care.

Dwight
