Makes our HO stuff look pretty cheap!
I've read on other threads where people say the post war Lionel is dead as everyone wants the latest bells and whistles.
For about an hour I watched stouts auction of their post war auction for today and it appeared most stuff sold for more than what stouts gave the 'price range' for what the item would sell for. Most of the bidding appeared to be via online.
Of course a lot of this stuff was with boxes and rated C7-9, many never even run:

SF unopened:

I'm impressed with Stouts: they give a very detailed description of the item and lots of pictures. That has to take a lot of time getting all that info and taking all that stuff out of the boxes for pictures. I've seen other auction houses where they, obviously, know nothing about trains.
