I'd buy that one too, as long as they didn't have those big wheels to derail. I'd have to get someone to cut them down.

You're right. They didn't.
But you're implying that no Berks have sold because the handful offered on the big E at more than $4,000 haven't sold. Not true. Plenty have sold, not at ridiculous prices, but nearer to their original MSRP than you would expect.
They've gotten good money.

Rick isn't saying none of them sold, just the ones that were incredibly outrageous. Having seen a bunch of stuff on eBay for quite some time, some have not sold, but some have. Granted, perhaps deals were made that we didn't see, but highly doubt that someone would go for the 9K prices. I do know that some of the items I have watched have sold for less than the initial five or six asking prices. One of the VL Niagara's had been priced over $5K. The seller had it there for some time before reducing it repeatedly. I believe it finally sold somewhere around $2.5k. no on bit at the $3k price they lowered it to. Big Boy pricing is usually around $3k to $4.5k, though some have gone higher and sold. I don't watch those as much as I am not interested in them, but I have seen them disappear from those high prices.
