Oh thats nothing, check out his deal of the century, this was originally listed at $300US + $40US shipping and 'handling'. I can remember when the local shop couldn't give these away, at the absolute max I have ever seen one sell for was about $75US and shipping via USPS in an Anywhere flat rate box is just over $12US, so someone has been smoking banana peals...
I have been saying for a couple years now, Ebay is dang near completely overrun by greedy or clueless or both dealers who think that LGB or anything G is worth its weight in solid gold! Its getting completely ridiculous, as a seller I can tell you, aside from a few collectable things, the entire G gauge market is still relatively flat from the recession. I dont know on what planet these jokers think that such common items are worth so much. A quick search online often reveals dealers who have the same thing in stock for a great deal less.
I have one of those rerailers, payed $10 for it, never used it, maybe I should list it as "rare and collectable".
