I know, somewhere in the 2,773 pages of comments here, somebody has asked this question, probably multiple times, so let's update it. Is Greenberg's price guide accurate? For example, when a crossing gate is listed at $8 if in exc condition, and I am guessing if it has the track relay, the box and instructions it will demand a higher price. But, $68 for just the gate and nothing else? Is the seller just totally unaware? How about a loco that is common, but the seller lists it as rare, price check shows 70-100 good to exc, and it is listed for 130 with no box and instructions, and is scraped and dinged? I have watched enough of these to know they never sell, but some of the prices lead me to believe folks see old Lionel and it appears gold plated to them. And don't try to suggest they might be a bit high on their price when a $100 engine on a good day is listed for 500, and maybe a 'make offer' selection would help. Sometimes you get a cordial, didn't know, to literal both barrels. And their item sits there forever. You have to wonder if they are thinking, "Why won't anyone bid on this?"
