I've been browsing Finnish auction sites for model railroad stuff for a change (since my kid wants us to make an h0 scale layout set in present-day Finland)... there are two peculiarities of Finnish auction sites I knew from other fields I had forgotten about, but which also evident in model trains:
-
Trying to push up the price of an item by writing "rare" in the description. The most amazing example so far is one guy selling three identical freight cars, but one has a load of logs someone has clearly made themselves from real-life tree branches. This one is marked as "rare" and the price is double of the others.
-
Claiming association with well-known brands. "Works with Märklin," "compatible with Märklin" (both possibly lies, as Märklin is the one model railroad maker who insists on their own standard of electrification that is incompatible with the others)... and my absolute favourite "probably works with Märklin N scale track." Märklin has never made N scale track or rolling stock.
(For the record, I have no interest in participating in the Märklin AC system versus the DC system used by everyone else discussion. It's just as fruitless as the Apple versus other computers/phones argument, and just as annoying).
