Going to look at the lot tomorrow after work...meeting guy at his business. I have to admit I don't recognnize anything in the lot...but I know boats and trains = money. There are a few sets not pictured the guy said...I offered a deposit to hold it...but he is taking my word that I will be there with cash tomorrow.

That's not a train. That is the airport shuttle monorail part number 6399. Bring cash. The used value is $375!

7938-1: Passenger Train is my guess. It is missing a portion of the middle car though.

 

Looks like a good lot, Willy431! Nice find.

Windows and roof look totally different. He said sets were about 10 years old at least. Been looking online..but see nothing close..unless they are custom/ized.

I think so too. Here is a picture. (The set is from 1990 and is worth $375 U.S. dollars used and $1,027 new.) Buy that lot!

I was gonna say - looks like a monorail - and someone beat me.

Nice find. The jetport is another $50 and the castle is $150. Tower is $65. Baseplates another $100.

[willy431]

Wowza! Score! Thanks for the help. I post pics and inventory tomorow if all goes well.

6542-1: Launch & Load Seaport is on there, one of my favorite sets as a kid next to the 6985 I had.  Also, living in hyannis is awesome, i love cape cod!

[stinger-311]

Most of those sets are more like 20 years old early 90s. I have the space version of that monorail system and every other set displayed bar castle. 

[willy431]

He called me back...done deal..took my cc info. He has some star wars from the same estate sale he is setting aside for my review. He is away from his store..but said they look newer than the display sets. He wants another 200 for those 6 sets and figures.

[jkris53406]

Geez, nice find! I always wanted that monorail. Plus all the others. I'm quite jealous. Throwing in the slot cars and trains too?

[Celes]

Why you do this to me? T_T

What a coincidence, I found this model at a flea market, the guy told me that he reserved the train for someone else (I was one hour late), he was asking 32$ dlls for it and showed me that it was working and everything. I was very curious because I have never seen that "train" and just for curiosity I was trying to find what model that was, I gave up and now im reading this .

Nice job everyone.  I moved the thread to this forum since it was trying to help identify the set.  Nice score on this lot.  I hope you get it.

[Quacs]

Yeah, those are some seriously vintage sets, Willy. I was a kid and remember wanting the airport shuttle. I owned the airport and planes at one point. One of the boats (half in/half out of the first picture) is 4031 Firefighter that I also owned as a kid. Good looking set for its age, but not worth a lot.

Nice grab!

[knokturnal]

monorail buy it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

[CNH1974]

Not fair

 

I have yet to see any of the monorail sets in bulk lots in the UK.

 

But I did receive my first 6080 in a lot this week.

 

According the BP page for 6399, that set is worth $375 used in the US, but

[Guest ph4tb0i]

omg i want that monorail!

[CNH1974]

Give Willy431 $375 and I am sure you can have it

[jkris53406]

Did you get it?

[willy431]

I wonder who did. Wasn't me. Guy emailed me saying he refunded money as it was sold to cash buyer. I tried to call and email him and no answer. Called using my wifes phone and he picked right up... said someone emailed him that the lot was worth 500 and offered him 400 which he took....instead of our deal for 250. He said guy came all the way from ny. Snake. If it was someone on here..which I suspect...oh well....I learned my lesson. Enjoy it. I won't be posting my finds here anymore until they are in hand. I really doubt someone in ny is reading cape cod craigslist for bulk!

Lesson learned. I am pissed...but nothing I can about it...save cry.

Hello jerk!! Hope you are happy in Ny! Ill be watching ebay and brincklink for the sets.

[jkris53406]

Sorry, that really sucks. If it makes you feel better I missed a big lot in milwaukee just yesterday by a few minutes. Nothing as cool as that but some castle and stuff. The guy was cool enough to call me and let me know he sold it tho. Better luck next time!

[tonysbricks]

That absolute crap man, but that's how it goes with CL. People are worthless and only see green. Why didn't you go pick it up right away?

 

On a related note, maybe look into laws in your state regarding deposits and if they have any legal standing. I have no idea, but since this was a company and you had a down payment I am not sure they can just up and sell to someone else.
