Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Bet it was tough passing that bargain up! Since antique shops usually know little of steam engine values, you find a lot of overpriced engines. But it can work to your favor as well, as I have some really valuable engines priced way too low due to this same lack of knowledge.Although not steam related, i recently bought a $300 jukebox speaker for $20 at an antique store- same one where i bought a nearly mint riveted boiler #5 for $150. It was sitting on a shelf next to a worthless engine, also priced at $150.
