N scale steam hiawatha

Were those still active (unsold) listings or completed listings actually sold for those prices? Active listings don't reflect what people actually pay but what the seller over optimistically wants. Those might never sell for those prices.

For inquiring minds...

With no active listings currently displayed, today's Terapeak eBay Product Search results for the past three years revealed the following:

Although, in most cases (i.e., for closed listings that are older than six months) the condition of the models can no longer be ascertained, the aforementioned results do provide some insight into what eBay buyers are willing to pay for these sets.

The only aberration in the results is the $1825.00 plus $14.75 shipping that was tendered on July 8, 2024.

There are some Hiawatha cars posted on N Scale Yard Sale.

From a large estate collection, a new, unused Fox Valley Models Hiawatha set of six cars and the 4-4-2 locomotive was just listed on eBay for $799.99, with free shipping.

Beautiful set but a little rich for me, with the current exchange rate that's like $ 12,000.00 Canadian
