I like my steak rare, but I think Rare and vintage are used all to
often when selling trains. I see on ebay all the time sellers that
have no idea what they have calling their product "rare".
case in point, seller had a scout set still in the box with the
infamous "scout" couplers. he listed it as "rare" and had a starting
bid of $299.99. It was a $50 item maybe. and as such he didn't get any bids
and didn't relist his item when the auction closed.
