We have a growing community of regular posting members who chat about all aspects of toy and model steam.          The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum Forum Index -> Wanted draconus WANTED: Fleischmann 236 Sausage Maker and 224 Eccentric Pres Don't see too many of these come up on ebay, so if anyone is hoarding and is wanting some honest ROI, then... Will pay good price commensurate to condition (but must be complete and working) - with original box(es) preferable, but not essential. flywheel61 Probably your best bet is German eBay, I got my sausagemaker from Begium, MIB, for just over $120.00 a couple of years ago. I'm sure one of our German members, like Dampfzauberer (Mirko) could help. Cheers     Chris draconus yeah been poking around there for a bit...loads of HO railway stuff, not much steam though...will keep at it though.... draconus ...geez... I need to be committed..... ..poking around the german ebay for 5 mins got me into more trouble with this ..oh well ya cant take it with you i suppose   MrMamod YOU missed the sausage man i had on here for sale this week then   .. draconus MrMamod wrote: YOU missed the sausage man i had on here for sale this week then   .. ah sod it, looks like it   angus I had to wait a while to get my sausage maker, but did eventually and it wasn't too expensive (about $40 at most I think). Many items it seems, appear to be rare and then suddenly the market is flooded. That's what happened with me. There were about 3 of them going at much the same time. draconus angus wrote: I had to wait a while to get my sausage maker, but did eventually and it wasn't too expensive (about $40 at most I think).

I think you are right.  I just need to be patient. What we need is a magic search engine that lets you know when one pops up on ebay Les Are you going for the whole set? http://lesmarsh.webs.com/fleischmannaccessories.htm angus draconus wrote: What we need is a magic search engine that lets you know when one pops up on ebay Actually there is one. I don't categorize as magic. It has shortcomings, but it does work. In this case, do an eBay search for "Fleischmann". In the US the appropriate group to search in would be Toys & Hobbies. Yours may be different. Then save the search (you can do that) and you can quickly search for it at will. eBay can also notify you by email when items meeting your search criteria are available. That particular search, of course, will give you all "Fleischmann" items but there aren't that many, so you won't be overwhelmed. It would be an idea to do one for "sausage" as not all sellers know the origin of their items or get them wrong (Heischmann is a favorite error). Worth using any other search words that you think might yield the treasure. The email notification works but tends to be a bit slow, so don't rely on it entirely. That way you may miss the one that goes for a BIN of $3.99.   draconus not at the minute... too much other stuff to sort out first.. ..but thanks for the very handy link though, much appreciated. draconus angus wrote: draconus wrote: What we need is a magic search engine that lets you know when one pops up on ebay Actually there is one.

Les You should look at German ebay, they are sometimes cheaper although you may need a proxy bidder when they do not accept Paypal. http://www.ebay.de/sch/Fleischman...tref=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m1538 angus draconus wrote: Cool, will give that a go for sure, thanks If I might amend that a little. I said that you wouldn't be overwhelmed by just using "Fleischmann" but I forget about all their railway stuff. So better to qualify that by adding "steam" or "accessory" and perhaps "-loco -train -locomotive" etc to narrow the search. When I retrospectively tested my own advice using just "Fleischmann" I got 690 hits   Les angus wrote: draconus wrote: Cool, will give that a go for sure, thanks If I might amend that a little.

None are listed under Vintage & Antique Toys. Nevertheless, I see there is indeed a sausage maker under Vintage and Antiques Toys but US shipping only: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fleischma...tDomain_0&hash=item19cffb685d By the way, if one does a search on the whole of US eBay for "Wurstmaschine" it's the only hit     PS: I found a few more accessories listed only under "Model & Kits" amazingly including the 224. http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_n...item589374469d&_ssn=amazingab angus Re: WANTED: Fleischmann 236 Sausage Maker and 224 Eccentric draconus wrote: Don't see too many of these come up on ebay, so if anyone is hoarding and is wanting some honest ROI, then...

In my watch list - his reserve starts at US$99.99. As I said, I don't mind at all paying a good price, but as there are still 5 days to go - this price might get a little silly.  We'll see...
