I have a Oriental GN X181 caboose that I bought a number of years ago,had it custom painted but find that it is frankly excess equipment seeing as its a diesel era car and I'm a steam era modeler so thought I'd would like to sell it.
Problem is seeing that it is one of the rarer piece's (believe there was but the one run) really can't find much in the way of information as to its value ,have checked most online RR seller/store but never found one advertised.
Did one time see one on ebay that sold for close to $500....thought YIKES! Does that sound realistic
Anyone out there have a idea to its value? Its in mint condition...

I probably saw the same one, can't remember the selling price though.

I think I've seen them recently, but the only price I can remember was about $200.

Oriental, brass right? I'd say, for Rolling stock from the mid $150's to mid $250's, you should be able to get a few more dollars out of it for it being painted.
