Oops I bought it again.. (Odakyu 8000)

[Guest keio6000]

After deliberating for a few days, I finally pulled the trigger on a MicroAce Odakyu 8000 6-car set.    Then, before the auction ended, I happened to be looking through my boxes and... lo and behold.. same set.  Seems I had bought it on a trip to Japan, had it sent directly, and forgot about it.  Doh!  And of course I won the auction.

 

It's a beautiful set (this is the normal version, not one of the 'event' versions) so if I end up with two I wont be too upset, but I've emailed the seller asking him if possible to send me the 9000 instead.  Since I've bought through buyee, the matter is a bit complex and I dont know if I'll manage to do the switch, but we'll see.  The mixup is, of course, entirely my own fault.

 

In case I end up 'stuck' with the 8000, if somebody has been looking for this and would like to buy it off me, please make *sensible, competitve* offers in USD, GBP, EUR, or JPY (all via PayPal).  I can have buyee send it to you directly via EMS, presumably after it arrives in the buyee offices in a few days.

 

The 8000 series is a long staple of the Odakyu system and an honest and elegant commuter train.  This is the 6-car single-arm panto version.  A perfect complement to all but they very very earliest Romance Car trains.  Microace A3786.

 

Would also trade straight up for an OER "EXE" set (presumably microace) of at least 6 cars.  Or if the seller does the swap and offers me the 9000 that he also has, I'd be good with that.  The 9000 is not my favourite, but it fits the theme.
