That's even true of pre and post war Lionel trains. Just because a very, very, few Lionel pieces are worth some money people thing all old Lionel trains are worth thousands. A fact less than scrupulous sellers on eBay take advantage of. offering "rare and hard to find" locomotives for thousands that show up regularly at train shows selling for $150 - $200.
