Box Error 3216 Highway Overpass Set

Pardon Our Interruption...

Set is one of the more rare ones. Unique in it has the figure 8 layout, only seen again with the 3219 and 3344.

Doesn't look too bad. Seems mostly all complete, the gravel hopper has stress lines. Some damage to the dozer, but the driver has his head and the painted hands. The box has some minor issues. It's missing the 3420-3 white box (presumably, it wasn't in the pictures provided). The shipping is super high, too.

The best part is the error box. I've seen it on carded items like trailers when they just used another items cardstock, but these boxes are a one and done deal.

$73.40 shipping to Tennessee! I saw a Fire Alert set a couple months ago, that was a good deal except high shipping. First assumption is they do it on purpose, however I messaged the seller and he was selling the stuff for his 90 year old dad and was just ignorant. I showed him how to setup the shipping properly and scan the QR code at the post office and as soon as he saved the changes, did BIN!

Well, two fold with shipping increasing dramatically the last few years, and it comes off scammy when you see a really low starting bid and ridiculous shipping. But eBay has some dumb shipping rules too, they charge the shipping to the seller before it's even paid.

That is a really good price on your 3214, considering just the fire truck/station goes for $100+.

I remember I bought a truck/station for some reason, and it ended up being the JC Penney accessory combo.

I paid $250 for my 3214, then I sold it for $60. I have the 3344 set, so it felt super redundant, when I had built my Deluxe Fire Alert set. I think at one point I had 7 fire stations, plus the 3 in the sets I had, and 3 more that were damaged. Similarly I sold my 3216 set too. But I kept the 3420-3 white box LOL..
