is this for real?@Woodson posted:$2600 and still bidding on evilbay.. Crazy, crazy, crazy...
What does the bid history look like?
Is it two people duking it out (in which case it's probably fake), or are there many lemmings trying to jump off the cliff?

Only two bidders since it got to $780.

I agree, or they must have unlimited spending money.
Probably a conspiracy between the seller and bidders lol or BOTS
Shill bidders, or people just playing games. Likely the latter.
I saw scale legacy PE locos get bid over 10 grand last year. One of the sellers was a forum member. Bidders retracted and never paid.
There's a good chance this one will be relisted in a day or two once the seller realizes there will be no payout.
Since the formal announcement on Friday. These have been selling for around the $600 mark give or take.
Especially since there are others with a buy it now of 800 and supposedly new.
Shill bidding, the two interlocked right after it got $750, then the last probably real bidder dropped out.
And they just went all the way to $2600.
They didn't even do a good job of hiding it.

There's also a slightly used one for $483 buy it now.

$780.00 almost makes sense given the hysteria of the last few days, $2,600.00 definitely doesn't.

Only two.....
On a side note. The old Tmcc 12969 cab1 and base set is bidding up over $200.
I guess an old remote is better than no remote, or one with a really expensive base.
If it's real, it's insane!!!

Yes, from a reliable seller, IMO.. 2 more sold for $800.. That's insane also!!
Yesterday, a 990 command set sold for $1,601. Makes me wonder if the sale for $2,600 may have been real.
As they say, there is a sucker born every minute if those prices are true. A 990 control system is just that, I can't see it becoming much of a collectors item any time soon. I realize that sometimes odd things, like certain record albums, become big ticket items but often it is because they are rarities *shrug*. Lots of consumer items get discontinued, few of them become collectible *shrug*.
I'm just so glad I grabbed a 993 off of Amazon $282 the week before the catalog announcement.
Theres one for over $500 with 6 days to go. I guess this is a good indication of how folks feel about the Legacy handheld.
If you think about it. If someone buys a $2400 VL locomotive, and wants a handheld that accesses ALL of the legacy features, what choice do they have?
Ironically, theres a DCS system currently at $202 with only two days left. T
I'm really suprised Lionel is dropping this piece of hardware. I always thought it was cool design and no doubt took an lot of talent and time to design and develope. A phone app just doesn't compare regardless of what some might say.
Just sent my one copy into Lionel today for repair. Very thankful they are still agreeing to support on the repair end.
Bidding $2600.00. They’re probably the same people that complain about Lionel pricing.
