Limited Run Trainworx Tractor Trailer

[ryan_wilkerson]

All 9 have been sold. Hope that those of you that wanted one, got one.
Looks like 3 of the buyers bought two each. I guess we'll see those listed for over $100 in the next week

Thanks to you Ryan, I got one!

It will remain in the box until I find the perfect use for it though, in case I ever decide to part with it. But I think I'll keep it

Excellent! Glad to share the info.

Got an email that the Budweiser trucks are listed on MTS.  Inventory of 44 right now
Price is not discounted...selling for full MSRP $64.95

Down to 33

It's kind of funny, BLW had them listed for $48.75 - limit one.
MBK has them listed for Full MSRP - limit one.
Another store that I talked with only got 10.
When I asked him what he was going to price them at, he replied "$64.95".
When I asked "Why?" he replied that they weren't given a very good discount due to the licensing.

[ryan_wilkerson]

Isn't a normal MSRP about twice the wholesale cost? Obviously BLW is making money at $48 so $32 seems about right.

[Bendtracker1]

Generally speaking, wholesale is around 40% off MSRP
The retailers will add about 20% (+/-) onto their price.

If you are pretty sure you are going to be able to sell all your stock @ MSRP, why would you discount?

Or is there some kind of charity arrangement I've missed out on

No you didn't miss anything a$$hat, it's just nice to know there are still some honest people left in the world.

They could also be called suckers for missing a good opportunity to make few more bucks.  Capitalism baby!     But I'm with you Allen.

So following this logic, can we assume that any retailer that charges full MSRP for an item is being dishonest

With six days to go, the first set to be listed at auction, rather than for a Buy-it-Now price, and its already over the original MSRP.

Apparently, when it comes to limited production Trainworks N-Scale tractor trailer sets, "you snooze, you loose".

Damn!  That can easily double by the end of 6 days!

Is this "Trainworx: the 21st Century Micro Trains" when it comes to collectability?  Actually, I think they are doing even better than Micro Trains ever did when it comes to becoming instant high-value collectibles.  But their runs of models are probably also smaller than Micro Trains, so there are fewer out there.
