Thomas eBay listings that make no sense.

Sometimes you find Thomas merch for a STEAL; sometimes you're left wondering if you're having a stroke. Today we jump into the latter! :)

It’s too rare to find a rare track master or wooded railway engine for 50 30 or 10 dollars

[@ThomasTheTankEnginenwr1]

I found the twins each at 120 dollars

[@epiclemon717]

I actually saw one yesterday. It was a wooden railway lot for $500 usd for 72 engines and some of them were thomas wood. If thomas wood is included, why even sell it at all?

[@ChomuOmu]

As a Tomy/Plarail/Trackmaster fan, it’s so sad and almost frustrating that they’re sold at unreasonable prices. You’re telling me that I can never get a Tomy Donald and Douglas set with two pieces of plastic shaped like mini snowplows under $950, or an Oliver under $150??? And I’m only talking about some of the ‘not rare’ ones… the real rare ones like TM Hector are just plain impossible to find. I wish people would sell them at reasonable prices…

[@ItsTrainBoy]

I just can’t understand it myself.. I totally understand rarity and respect the people who try to truly collect Thomas stuff to the highest degree; but I just don’t know how a Thomas train can be over $300 if it was ever mass produced 😅

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

Ayo what makes TM Hector so rare? I have one in phenomenal condition

[@ABellEngine]

​@@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho I guess it's because he was sold/produced for a short time and wasn't brought back when Mattel took over the brand.

Trackmaster Douglas is expensive because he was never released singularly by Tomy himself. He was only release in the winter snowplow set or whatever. At least that's what google said. But I still don't know if that's reasonable or not. :) Edit: Same goes for Bash. He was only released in a set.

Tomy Douglas was released by himself in 2006, just not in Japan. Same goes for bill

I’ve seen a Hornby Murdoch going for $3,000 dollars on eBay once.

[@bentullett6068]

Prices for the hornby models are mad. It's mainly because their models are no longer made and seem to be better quality than the Bachmann versions. I still have my Thomas Hornby model but it's from the early 1990's and has seen some action. Currently trying to get him up and running. I also have the mini Hornby Thomas which was one of Hornby's 040 chassis locomotives with a Thomas body on it, which came in the my first Thomas train set.

[@skylitejunction5589]

@@bentullett6068 For real man. I have a handful of Hornby Thomas stuff. The rarest one I have is Emily, and that’s it. It’s so damn stupid how they’ve sky rocketed in price. Especially Murdoch.

I seen some theories about listings like this that they're used to disguise money laundering. There was once a listing for a single Nerf dart, those things that you can buy in 20 packs for $10, that was listed as 1 million USD at one point. So that could be what's going on with some of these. But, more than likely, these sellers are just ignorant on what they have and how much it's actually worth

[@thethomasman]

The prices are freaking outrages,! Don't worry, if I were to sell my trackmaster nothing would be over 60 dollars.

[@liamkeenan3187]

Guarantee that take along Mike is what upped the price by like $450 and I’m not sure it’s worth that much on it’s own, like $200 max maybe
