“$10,000 for a troublesome truck?” “With a white face Mr. Squidward. With a white face”

Fun fact: the Bachman Oliver often costs less then the TOMY one. This should be illegal.

“Is that a dead sir Handel” That lot hurt my soul more than the set being $1.000 dollars

As a Tomy/Plarail/Trackmaster fan, it’s so sad and almost frustrating that they’re sold at unreasonable prices. You’re telling me that I can never get a Tomy Donald and Douglas set with two pieces of plastic shaped like mini snowplows under $950, or an Oliver under $150??? And I’m only talking about some of the ‘not rare’ ones… the real rare ones like TM Hector are just plain impossible to find. I wish people would sell them at reasonable prices…

The TWR listings are only getting more and more ridiculous. I've been seeing lots that are worth like 100 priced at 600 or more

Collecting any kind of toys and wanting older products can get really annoying with these kinds of ridiculous prices because at the end of the day its almost always just a handful of plastic

I don’t know what’s funnier- these prices or TrainBoy’s jokes 🤣

One of my friends went to a hobby shop recently, and they were selling a $200 dollar wooden Flying Scotsman. Things are out of hand.

So shocked that he forgot to sensor himself like he did the other few times

You know what this reminds me of? That period from late 2016/early 2017 where people tried selling their Disney "Black Diamond" VHS tapes for thousands of dollars.

I never knew the roundhouse was rare, I got one in a huge tomy lot for 5$ at a yard sale

9:52 I found one of these for only $50, it was second hand, had all the pieces and came with bonus engines and rolling stock

Glad to see we're not alone in this struggle lmao Greetings from the Hot Wheels AcceleRacers fandom!

not a single moment to waste! bank fraud department cracked me up 😂

Lmao I wonder if the last listing was a mistype cuz they were tryna put $16.99 or something but they accidentally put $1699 ☠️☠️

So someone has decided to make it 1$ more then the last, Now we are here Ps: How are these wood, steel and plastic be more expensive than a model

“These prices are outrageous!!!” Someone somewhere at sometime.

I once seen an ertl Percy with actual shit on it on eBay. I SWEAR.

I am the bane of my friend groups, I will complain about TWR listings for hours.

Tootle has a hole line of merch never knew that until I looked into it

When you showed the cave collapse tower, I legit choked on my drink. I bought my Firebird for less than that!

What makes this 10 times funnier for me is I live in Australia, So real quick just double up all the prices.

"Do any of these tender engines even have their tender!?" I'll give you an answer, no. They never do.

Trackmaster Douglas is expensive because he was never released singularly by Tomy himself. He was only release in the winter snowplow set or whatever. At least that's what google said. But I still don't know if that's reasonable or not. :) Edit: Same goes for Bash. He was only released in a set.

You’ve just roasted the entire Thomas and Friends retail market in the most grounded yet hilarious way possible. 😂❤

I remember getting the Thomas ultimate set when I was 6. It was 2012 and I lived in an apartment with my family. It came in a plastic bin being a second hand set. I remember my mom telling me that the set was rare and to take good care of it. I still have that set to this day but Mighty Mack’s powered coach doesn’t work. Still a fun play set though, full of good memories.

If you’re wondering why those Plarail Donald and Douglas toys are expensive, it’s because they came in a set with snowploughs which is very hard to find. And they have their snowploughs on.

I kinda want that microphone knapford station now

This video perfectly incapsulates everything I hate about collecting Thomas merch, and why I stopped collecting TOMY engines a month after I started.

6:44 i have this train table in my room rn and i can confirm, it is not worth $850.00 and +$150.00 shipping. . .

I can’t wait to save up my life savings to get a Tomy Oliver 😭, also as a Tomy / Trackmaster collector it sucks we have to pay so much man. Also I bought a sodor roundhouse for only 70$ new in box!

Nice adult swim reference in the intro

Thomas Ebay: *stonks*

Why not also cover some Hornby/Bachmann/Tomix listings? Believe me, there are plenty of them out there asking for silly money.

I seen some theories about listings like this that they're used to disguise money laundering. There was once a listing for a single Nerf dart, those things that you can buy in 20 packs for $10, that was listed as 1 million USD at one point. So that could be what's going on with some of these. But, more than likely, these sellers are just ignorant on what they have and how much it's actually worth

I've recently got the itch for wooden railway here recently and the prices are crazy at the moment

my gold one is still in the box lol

As a Transformers fan, the Transformers resale market isn't much better. A figure is missing a part? Hope you don't mind forking out like $50 for a replacement wing for your Starscream!

5:39 The best Station Master of all time 👌

Everyone: these prices are so expensive for a piece of wood.. Me: *they made a wooden railway version of Tootle the train...?*

Sir Handel had an accident escaping train prison after season 6 🙃

man, you have the golden learning curve thomas while I only have the metallic blue version.

bro i swear ebay sellers be gettin worse and worse💀 BUT WAIT its free shipping so its 100000% worth it ong

Guarantee that take along Mike is what upped the price by like $450 and I’m not sure it’s worth that much on it’s own, like $200 max maybe

The thing about The Plarail donald and Douglas is that Douglas was never released on his own in Japan and could only be obtained in The snowplow set. Classic Plarail marketing

I hate it when I look online and there is that one person selling the most common item and saying that it is super rare.

Rest in piece - good thomas merch

Second hand markets do be weird like that. Just be glad that you weren't looking at Warhammer, that gets just as ridiculous, but much more often.

"3D print the snowplow" it's not about having the thing at any capacity, it's about how value the original thing is and selling it for what it's worth

This is why I quit buying TWR products. It just kept getting ridiculous and I lost interest in the brand. Ironically it was right before the announcement of Thomas wood.

2:28 actually theresa mod you can turn percy it into a normal trackmaster that doesn't need the coach

Half of these gotta be money laundering ain’t no way somebody gonna legit put up a wooden torn up golden Thomas up for $500 and think it’s gonna sell

I’ve seen a Hornby Murdoch going for $3,000 dollars on eBay once.

I dare you to do it again Seriously I kinda wanna see another one of these

I once spent over $200 on 13 ERTL models that I was using for my series and I still have them today.

The prices are freaking outrages,! Don't worry, if I were to sell my trackmaster nothing would be over 60 dollars.

I thought there was tomy oliver but this is really funny

For most of these prices, i would be be wanting a proper from the show 😆

I still have all my ERTL and Wooden Railway stuff from the early to mid 90s. I should probably see how much it's worth lol.

Once I saw an eBay listing of three 1992 tenders of Henry, Gordon, and James. For $5,000.

Take along cost more than $30 here in Canada. This is why thrift stores have my back.

Bro is not on the team got me😂

“Thomas Merch: It’s better than NFTs!” This should be Mattel’s new slogan!

Whoever listed that final listing should be scolded and locked the frick up in a straight jacket IMMEDIATELY.

On the subject of rare Thomas items, I'm surprised that I still have a TWR bronze Diesel. He's still in good condition but I have no idea when I got him.

Dam that tootle train would be great for a WR custom d16…

*Me selling my soul to purchase TOMY Oliver*

One time I was on eBay looking for a Tomy Oliver and I happened upon one that was, and I kid you not, OVER $1,000... "My bro helped me find an Oliver in the end btw :)"

There’s adjusting of inflation… and then there’s THIS.

That one rc Percy looks like the face anyone makes after Taco Bell

omgggg i had that knapford station as a kid but i never knew that the station building and the microphone building actually went together lol

5:19 what if he was butane fired then would you give the high price a pass

3:18 I would buy it in a heartbeat, IF I HAD $724.80 PLUS TAX!

9:46 on the topic of an engine like that, my family has a Peter Sam that looks like that and there was a Mike the Small Engine train from way back when that we have. I'm not sure how Peter Sam ended up like that. I will never know.

Awesome video trainboy

Thanks, Trainboy! I now know what not to buy!

I swear this guys intro is like adult swim

9:40 what the hell happened to sir handel? was this pic taken in the middle of his boiler renewal?

The most worrying about buying lots is the chance of getting a Bootleg in it that looks out of place

You should see how much Plarail Douglas alone goes for, I once saw a listing of him that was around $500, and between 300 or 400 without Tender at that. Then I look at Trackmaster Douglas and get upset

I just can't explain the stupidity on these people who do REDUCULOUS PRICES on cheap wood,metal,and plastic

i want to get decent toys for my nephew that i had similar versions of when i was little, listings like these are borderline criminal

9:46 its John from awdry's mid sodor layout

Oh dang i had one gold thomas when i was little, parents sold all my thomas wood railway stuff when i grew up, i had the play table too

6:10 is my new notification sound.

The model train market on ebay is the same as well sadly.

How do these types of listings exist? Who even thinks those are reasonable!

never even knew this was a thing, got this vid recommended to me randomly. good vid though!

Thomas is being like woody in toy story in a nutshell being expensive

Thomas' soul vintage new used-barely played with: £69,420

I’ve been getting some Plarail/Tomy products and the money I spent on the products I bought weren’t all that expensive. I got the Plarail Talking Percy with olive green works Coach and fuel tanker. New in box it goes for $500. I got it used in good condition for $40. Also just got some track for $30 bucks as well.

10:07 I actually still have that set holy shit.

The fact anyone has the money/will to pay for these items is crazy.

460 dollars for a sign, A SIGN, A SIGN!!!!!!!!!!

5:59 actually bertram is quite rare as he came at the end of the hit toy era.

And thats why here in Mexico we have something called "tianguis" or "mercado de pulgas" and whats the special of those places? Well . . . If you find you can get a RC Thomas for like .50 dollars or less of the lady selling It Is a friends of your mother

I used to now the Golden Railway Thomas as a kid, most of these are in horrible condition, considering, these were given to kids to play with

Greg Fine moment

Trackmaster Bertram is an actual rare model to get. So I understand why it would be that much money for a Bertram new in box.
