stupid

Postby ScaleCraft » Sat Sep 05, 2020 4:56 pm

COVID seems to have generated a bad case of stupidity with evilbait sellers.
Case in point:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-LIONEL ... 3199991727

Where do we start? Postwar tin lead truck with rusted wheel. Wrong trailing truck with postwar drawbar (probably 675). Oh, but WAIT! A 675 boiler front glued right in in top of the original smokebox ring (less door), WITH both sets of class lights, bent and mangled boiler handrails, eccentric cranks GONE, main rod spacers GONE, long screws GONE, eccentric rods GONE (and expansion links mangled), oh, but WAIT!
The entire rear half of the LH side of the cab is..GONE!
Junk. All the parts you COULD use are missing, wrong, broken or destroyed. Not worth the powder.

Can't use lead or trail on a proper 225E, boiler is garbage, smokebox front is hosed, valve gear is useless.

But, ya know, it's worth what someone will pay for it....not.

Have not heard stupidity to be caused by Covid-19; Have seen a lot revealed in conjunction with it though.....

Start it at 99 cents and see if it sells - bet not.
Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have created or made.

of course, depends on your source. Everybody stuck home, no income, let's drag out the garbage and overprice it, put it on da bait!

Not causing it then -- just revealing something that was already resident and brought out into the light, like cockroaches...
