Full - I checked at Discount Toy Trains http://www.discounttrainsonline.com/HO-Scale-Freight-Cars-Walthers-Trainline/HO_FRT_931_1.html (http://www.discounttrainsonline.com/HO-Scale-Freight-Cars-Walthers-Trainline/HO_FRT_931_1.html) and they are listed at $9.22 each. If you are going to bid, I wouldn't go any more than $9.

It will probably sell for $10 in the end.

I buy nothing on ebay for more than 50% off what I can get it from another dealer.  Too many bad sellers.  But a $10 caboose sounds like a pretty good deal.  Buyer Beware.

Interesting, but they have a CSX Walthers Trainline caboose for $3.50 at my local hobby shop and this exact caboose is $4.00 both on clearance (with no returns allowed though)

I got this one for 4.98 with no other bids and a green one ended about a minute before this one with no bids so I figured he needed a caboose to go with the new train and the aunts and uncles will get some rolling stock also http://cgi.ebay.com/HO-Scale-Wide-Vision-Caboose-Ready-to-Run-NS_W0QQitemZ390130356128QQcmdZViewItemQQptZModel_RR_Trains?hash=item5ad594cfa0

I have the Alaska version of this caboose and its not the most detailed but a nice runner, I got mine at a train show for $6.

The bit that usually kills me on ebay is shipping especially on low dollar items like this where you could spend more on shipping than the actual product. I'd agree with Ray on the maximum bid, which is the real trick on ebay. Not getting caught up in bidding and sticking to your maximum bid.
