ive had 3 trademe purchases over the last couple of weeks. one was the tomy "eurostar" bullet train. i bid up to $31 for it and won, then got an email from the seller that the off/on switch was broken. i counter offered $25 and was accepted, which is good. its in fairly good condition. has a few paint nicks and the hooks need replacing, but its a nice model and im glad to have it. the switch is broken worse than i thought, but it doesnt bother me at the moment.
the second win was a lot with a small wind up james and a hornby wind up percy! the percy has a piece broken off and no buffers, but they arent a major. i paid $8.50NZD for the pair. not too bad. percys wind mechanism will be tested on sunday.
the most recent win was 3 dvds of canadian trains for $5NZD. they havent arrived yet, but should be here tuesday.
no photos yet of the eurostar and percy, but they should be posted by monday at the latest
