zombywoof Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Isn't this the mostly electric train auction? I love the things but will pass. While I respect the reason Neil got involved with Lionel, I hold grudges and am still hacked that Neil's holding company (does not quite go with the image does it) which purchased Lionel moved the company offshore.

blindboygrunt Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 What’s he doing ? Retiring to a small apartment ? There’s a d19 there starts at $1000 which is already out of my budget Never even heard of a d19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMELEYE Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I'm more of an American Flyer guy. Still have my train set from when I was a kid in the '50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hall Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 What's he doing ? Retiring to a small apartment ? There's a d19 there starts at $1000 which is already out of my budget Never even heard of a d19 No, but he is selling his multi million dollar mansion in Hawaii.

Russell Davis Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 There's quite a few guitars he's auctioning up. Start from the end and go backwards to skip all the train stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 If this is what he is selling, just imagine the stuff he decided to keep Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 There's a d19 there starts at $1000 which is already out of my budget Never even heard of a d19 I noticed some good-looking Gretsches starting at not much more than their typical price, AFAIK. I wonder where they'll end up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I always get a little low when people part with possessions that meant something to them. Though fresh paths might be ahead, it's a sign of a dried or died out passion. In Young's case the departure signalizes a whole new era - moving out of the old redwood ranch, divorce and perhaps his son growing up. Yep, the trains and wagons are leaving the station - for good. May they roll into other terrains and landscapes in other barns or halls to spread the same steaming joy. See the sky about to rain - broken clouds and rain Locomotive pull the train Whistle blowing through my brain Signals curling on an open plain rolling down the track again See the sky about to rain Neil and those toys really fitted well together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Neil sure has a lot of stuff. A flannel shirt would be nice, and is as much a trademark as any guitar he may've played. But. . . starts at $1000, with bid increment of $250. It would be a bit weird telling people you've got Neil's shirt on, or do you even tell? Would make a lifetime gift to a Neil fan, though.

SirNed Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Some of it looks like reasonable starting prices...but then I saw this: BUYER'S PREMIUM 28% up to $200,000.00 Yipes! Is that added to the winning bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that added to the winning bid? Yep, that's the way most high-end auctions work. Buyer, not the seller, pays the auctioneer's commission.

Jinder Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 A D19 is a late ‘70s/early ‘80s D18 with the Sitka top stained dark mahogany, a bit like a Guild D25. Some were decent, but they were somewhat overbraced and there was a common intonation problem due to bridge placement issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socialism always sounds good when it's "other" peoples money. I'm sure his "people" work just as hard to keep his as any other business man.

scriv58 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Neil sure has a lot of stuff. As i walk my morning 5 mile path, it seems that maybe one house in 10 can use their garage for its intended purpose. We all have too much stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I'm more of an American Flyer guy. Still have my train set from when I was a kid in the '50s. After 60+ years in attics across the country, only taken down to run for a few hours each Christmas - my Lionel set stopped doing anything. After another couple of years of my cleaning and oiling and trying to get it to run, I broke down (pun intended) and took it to an authorized repair place. Remarkably affordable and fast - he fixed old Engine 671 and the transformer. So I brought back the milk car to see if he could get that working. That car has a place you insert 7 small aluminum milk cans, which are later delivered on a platform if you push a button. Over the years, I thought this train set - purchased by my father - was increasing in value. So I googled the Milk Car on Ebay. One in virtually mint condition - is going for $20. About half what the repair will cost me. I guess you can't put a price on sentimentality. So, to me, now - Neil's Flannel Shirts, even guitars owned by Dylan - to me, are only worth what the same flannel shirt would cost at Goodwill, or the J45 on Craigslist.
