Andrew, I would definitely buy a model of that beauty!
And now:
This became a popular thread on another forum. The guy wanted $4,500 US for it. It is a limited edition Lionel caboose honoring a toys buff convention. There never was a real caboose lettered like this.
Someone joked that he had bought some for $1 apiece and repainted them because they were so ugly. Another person pointed out that counterfeiting the original is not impossible.
So, would you buy it for $1? If you could, would you repaint it? If you could get it at a reasonable price (maybe $10?), would you buy it?
