  • Don't complain about the cost of shipping AFTER you bid. If you don't like the stated shipping charge, then DON'T BID ON THE ITEM. 
  • Ebay does not protect it's sellers sufficiently from buyers who violate Ebay policies, including those buyers who post poor feedback for the seller. I have tons of great customers.

Description: Pretty clean Marx O-gauge 6-inch 4-wheel tin brass/copper operating searchlight car with tinn wheels, a tab and slot couplers. There might be an irregularly-shaped shadow in some of the photos that is the result of some issue with my camera. It is not showing a stain or something like a stain on the car. The light housing is more copper in color while the deck is more brass-colored. There's just a bit of crazing and some darkening on the sides of the deck, but the rest of the deck and the copper portion of light housing are in very nice shape. There's some light tarnishing and oxidation on parts of the chromed pieces that hold the lens and which fits onto the back side of the light housing. The sides of the frame do have some whitish-staining, along with some spots of light to moderate crazing and some paint flaking as shown by the photos. Even with the frame issues described, this car is hard to get in this condition due to the tarnishing usually seen on the copper and brass-plated components of the car. A little hard to grade but call it VG plus overall.  The light was not tested and is not guaranteed to work.  Sold as is.

Shipping: The shipping quotes provided are for Canada and the Continental US only. Buyers from other locations should contact me prior to the close of a sale to obtain a shipping estimate. I will always combine shipping if you purchase multiple lots. 

Returns: I will gladly refund your money if I make a mistake in describing something. But please make sure you really want the item before you bid. I do not give returns if a buyer simply changes his or her mind, deciding after the fact that they don't want an item.  EBAY'S AUTOMATIC RETURN POLICY IS UNFAIR TO SELLERS, SO PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU RETURN AN ITEM SO WE CAN TRY TO AGREE ON A WAY TO FIX THINGS. I will accept returns but just want to hear from the buyer before the item is returned to me. If a a buyer automatically returns an item without first contacting me, that buyer will be blocked from bidding on my items in the future.  

Be sure to keep watching as I have many Marx trains and other trains and toys coming up for sale this Spring and upcoming Summer. 

I BUY ALL KINDS OF TRAIN AND TOY COLLECTIONS, SPECIALIZING IN MARX,  EUROPEAN, AS WELL AS HO AND N GAUGE INCLUDING HO BRASS. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU'RE READY TO SELL OR TO DOWNSIZE YOUR COLLECTION. WILL TRAVEL TO YOU DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE COLLECTION FOR SALE.
