Re: Interesting item on eBay web site item#1762985415: Thomas Tank Lionel TrainSet O27 -SEALED-NEW

I agree with Ira.  Although Thomas is popular I don't think we would sell 
that many more sets.  With shipping, we're looking at $125 or more for 
Thomas vs $70 for the sets we have been using.

I also find it interesting that the price for this set is going up.  It 
wasn't too long ago that you could get this same set for approximately 
$70.00.
