I'm talking basemodels here like croc,v200,E10 'BR38,BR50.Wonder if the webmaster is interested in some kind of poll or has this been done. Hans

Joined: 06/02/2005(UTC) Posts: 1,383 Location: Darmstadt,		3087, 3090 (Länderbahn Lok) or 3003 (BR 24) They went in many starter sets. Don't forget the large steamers and E-loks have ever been very expensive loks, so mrr beginners didn't prefer them. In 1974 you got two BR 24 for one BR 18.4 or BR 50, and 3 or 4 of them for a gator, almost the same price ratio as today. Hans Martin

Joined: 04/03/2005(UTC) Posts: 1,062 Location: Neu-Ulm, Bavaria		OK, I tried something, the "special search function" on Ebay. How many items were sold under a specific number during the last two weeks ???? 10 --- 3040 (E 40 green) 19 --- 3015 (Old crocodile) 29 --- 3031 (BR 81, didn't search for 3032) 33 --- 3039 (E 10 blue) 54 --- 3005 (BR 23) 73 --- 3003 (BR 24 Steppenpferd) 76 --- 3037 (E 41 green / 34 units) plus 3034 (E 41 blue / 42 units) (put together because of stark similarity even same serial number) And the winner is: 128 pieces of 3021 (V 200) sold during the last two weeks ... Even when taking into account that some locos might have been listed under different names/without catalog number, some of the above items might be empty boxes or spare parts, it still shows something, because these restrictions apply to all of the locos mentioned. Regards, Hans

Joined: 04/03/2005(UTC) Posts: 1,062 Location: Neu-Ulm, Bavaria		Just one encore: the price range is extraordinary !!! Quite obviously it is a great time to sell shortly after Christmas, say three or four days after the festivities ..... Maybe the bidders are sitting at home, nothing to do, bored by family, with nostalgic feelings about how they used to receive locos as presents when young ... A 3040 (E 40) averages around 63 Euro, but one was sold for 252 Euro, admittedly in fantastic new state !!! 3039 (E 10) goes from 40 Euro to 100 Euro ..... Hans

At least in ebay.com the Märklin items listed dropped dramatically for the Christmas day, but that is understandable since no one probably goes through ebay on such holiday. The number of items listed got back up fast few days after the holiday. Mikko
