ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, Bill... ebay is the nail in AF's coffin.? I can't count the numbers of UNSELLING AF trains that are always listed on ebay, and at prices that one might think would guarantee a sale... but no.? It seems that sellers can't even "GIVE" them away.? And I can attest to that fact since I have been trying to sell TWO NIV Lionel/AF items for over 4 years on the GROUPS, and I have not had even ONE bite of interest in them... even listed at MAKE OFFER and pay postage prices.? So it looks like I'm literally going to have to throw them in the trash!

When you see the total saturation of Gilbert American Flyer for sale on eBay it is not a stretch to connect to Lionel eventually ending A F production. Considering Lionel have been doing repaints largely on the SAME shells as Gilbert for 40? years¡­ If a Flyer guy wants a new car they are all over eBay for CHEAP. Take your pick. Why pay $60.00+ for a car? ?EBay is Lionel¡¯s biggest competition.
