Hmmm....and both Tenders are number nine. At least the shipping is only $1.40

Have you ever bought from them before Dr Chris?

No.

Guess what's wrong

Is the Gordon a newer version release with no battery tender, a flat drive in the engine and the shorter side rods???

Guess what's wrong

The listing title "Thomas & Friends TrackMaster Gordon Motorized Train Engine TOMY 2002 WORKS! GUC!" has been copied from another lot offered by a different seller. Presumably the owner of the one on the photos above doesn't know what he's got and has used the other one for inspiration and as a pricing guide.  Happens a lot.

Oh so explains the title but still this gordon is the Chinese knockoff being sold at a very high price and not to mention the box is missing.

Plarail boxes, nice Plarail express coaches removed, tacky Trackmaster 'coaches' (i.e. vans with stickers) substituted.

Someone just bought Caitlin for £35 plus postage.  The seller never responded to my suggestion that there might be something wrong with the listing.

What shocks me the most is when a "serious" site like Amazon has something like this: two exactly the same products, both sold & dispatches by Amazon (!!!), even slightly more expensive postage on the more expensive product, offered at the same time on the German Amazon. Yes, the first product is on discount (37%), but at the same time you can buy from the same seller (which is Amazon), if you get confused or if you are not careful enough, the same product that is not on discount? Inexplicable.





EDIT:

Huh, what? Did I just found a third one? Oh, yes I did! Again, dispatches & sold by the same seller - Amazon:



How can this happen? Are German Amazon employees allowed to drink beer while editing the site?
Several prices for the same product... Is this even legal?

Interesting, thanks for the heads up Mr No.
