Crazy prices, yes. Good topic.
The used MTH items are the most surprising, as most used items in the past went for half off the catalog price or less, now some are at the catalog price or higher.
Glad I bought what I bought, when I bought them.

The end ain't necessarily the end. How many iterations of Mantua/Tyco were there? Varney in Half 0. Varney in 0. Latest is Aristo in LS. Gone. Kaput. But some of us KNEW the tooling was owned by Kader in the PRC, and sure enough, Bachmann (wholly owned subsidiary of Kader) came out with the Eggliner. Parts! Then trucks. Now the Dash-9 has been announced. So you never know. A friend told me one of the kickers to get Kader to use their tooling to reproduce the Dash-9 was....evilbait prices. I think it's funny (especially since it will be a cold day in Hades before I EVER buy anything from Bachmann again) that those venture capitalists who hoarded stuff to make a killing on Da Bait, and now they have....nothing.
