Re: What's a good price for an MEC1?
I've found MM usually gets it about right with Mamods Odilon. I'm sure he'll give you a pretty accurate guess. |

I paid $56 or £28 for mine in January:

| Les Marsh |
I paid £33.75 and it has an extra shaft and gears.

I don't know much about these or the price. On U.S. ebay they often bring over $100, boxed ones $150, but I am sure they are cheaper over there. | ||||

Here's a completed listing in Australia  :

For a decent one 40-60
Anything below that would be a bit rough, I did however sneak one a while back for 25 pounds but the seller pulled out of the deal 
|

| MooseMan |
Thanks for that.....see that one at the top of the list?
Thanks MM, that put a grin on my face. |

I got mine in February and have noticed the prices creeping up since. |
||||
| Nick |
Wow! What a bargain. 
It only had 6 views when I looked.
|
||||
| Les Marsh |
You got a very good deal there. 
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
I put one on ebay for 60 quid buy it now, complete, good condition, it was there for around 3 days untill MTA bought it. 
|
||||
| MooseMan |
EXCELLENT! 
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
Looks a great deal Moose!
What is that other boiler thing with it? |
||||
| Nick |
Was it just listed? It only had 6 views.
|
||||
| MooseMan |
I think I caught it after about 10 minutes listing.
No idea what the other thingy is....it may just be a pressurised burner. We shall see! |
||||
| Les Marsh |
It looks like a pressurised spirit burner. |
||||
| MooseMan |
That would be really good...been wanting one of those! | ||||

"Smithers, open up the velocitator on that MEC 1"
it would be interesting to see what you could make of a tired one Moose. |
||||
| Les Marsh |
You are certainly getting a lot for your money.
|

| Sandman |

I go to look at the completed search and it asks for me to log in and it will not take my username and pass, got a link to the auction itself?
I guess I am only good for US Ebay. |

Well done there Moose
If you relisted the Meccano gears and other bits you could easily get double your money back. Glad to see it's on it's way to a good home
My MEC1 purchase fell into the usual £40 - 60 range
