Hey im wondering how much would a 5 car coaster train go on ebay

[Spaghetti]

I WOULD BUY THAT FOR YOU. It would sell for around $50.

^Ok first of all, you need to tell us if it is a five car VV (Micro) or SS (Screamin' Serpent) style of train. Second, $50 would be way too overpriced. For about $40, I got an SS plus a second train. I think it is more reasonable to sell in the low $20s, so I would aim for the low $30s. Always shoot lower, as the bidding can increase and people will be turned away from bidding because it is too much. The pricing of course I've stated is for SS, I don't know the going rate of VV trains.

If it is VV it is helpful to know that brand new VV cars can be bought straight from knex for about $4 each.

I bought 3 cars (SS style) on eBay recently for $20. It included 6 people. Luckily, there was no decals, and it was the only listing with no decals on the cars. I am going to change the colors. I took the middle to add onto the Thunderbolt Strike since it insanely had only two cars. Now I noticed 3 cars function much better and faster (heavier + gravity) on Thunderbolt Strike. Then the two new cars on Shark Run. It makes no sense to have a guy on surfboard on a roller coaster. At least a year later, I will get more cars for the Shark Run when I give it an upgrade expansion (it be a water coaster, which means the bottom will have water with a male Betta). $50 is overpriced for 5 cars. I consider mine a great deal at $20 for 3 since it was what I was looking for (no decals since there isn't many colors available for the cars so I can repaint easily) and the 6 extra riders.
