As I say in most of my listings - I go by the golden rule: If I wouldn't buy something (when I can hold it in my hand and examine it up close with a magnifying glass) I won't sell it - especially to someone who is relying on my judgment!

Things I sell

Four decades worth of model railroad items (mostly N Scale) I have picked up at Train Stores, Train Shows, Swap Meets, Conventions, mail order and online plus, perhaps, a few odds and ends that my wife and I discover as we clean out our storeroom.

Things I buy

The temptation is still there for railroad items but the space is not. Nor do I have the health to fully enjoy them. Still, there are exceptions and I can take pride in saying that I finally have one or two special items after years of dreaming.

Things I collect

N Scale Model Railroad; Birthdays; Beautiful grandchildren

Broadcast and Cable TV is a monster that just keeps growing, devouring our wallets and eating our brains. PULL THE PLUG! Do it now while there is still time.

Payment policy

I am not a dealer so all we can accept is PayPal and pay their 3% fee. Just as I pay EBay's 10% Final Value Fee (which includes the cost of stamps, sealing tape and tracking.)

Delivery information

We set items aside as they are listed so we can process them quickly. We try to package EVERYTHING as carefully as if it were a present for our grandchildren.

Return policy

If you find that the carefully worded description and photo(s)are in error or possibly misleading, I will gladly refund your money if you notify me within 14 days and return the item undamaged.

Contact information

You can contact me through my Ebay member account > 6footfour

Whats missing from EBay?

An Independent Buyers/Sellers Association with an enforceable code of ethics and a compliance seal that can be displayed on listings and alongside buyer IDs for genuine assurance of a pleasant and trustworthy business experience. Did you know there used to be a voluntary TV Code which limited how many commercial or promo minutes there could be in an hour? Less than 8 minutes in prime time. You'll find that 50s and early 60s shows on DVDs run 26 minutes for a half hour show! Twice that for an hour.

What do you think of EBay?

They have no shame! Collecting fees on what I/WE pay for stamps, packing supplies even cellophane tape. All that money and they don't police sellers and buyers often enough to GUARANTEE a safe and pleasant business experience every time. While honest mistakes happen, I and a lot of EBayers I know do our best every day. Does EBay?
