John, The legitmate asking price is what someone is willing to pay and the seller willing to take. I know a man trying to sell a disassembled loco that wanted a high price for it not knowing if all the parts were there or not. doesn't make sence to buy it when there turned up another at the show for $300 less.and togather and painted. That is the one I bought. Thanks Bert
