Business InformationHistory/background
Worked self employed since 1991, on ebay since 2000. Fiona my partner has been Chief Packer and boss since also becoming self employed in 2004 and we are training our daughter as well. We have written considerably in the fields of model railway history and transport publicity. Nine books published by 2007 and easily found on the web like From Tilbury to Tyneside. Have written a history of BR timetables. Qualified in theology and industrial archaeology and tend to be interested in all sorts of quirky avenues. Love good music and wonderful land or seascapes.
Payment policy
Pay Pal is welcome but cheques mailed in the post even more so. Pay Pal can cost a vendor a significant sum and the buyers who volunteer at least the cost of stamp towards the use of Pay Pal are always noted. Favours in one direction can be reciprocated and my regulars may receive current leaflets or be offered seconds which are not otherwise to be sold FOC.
Delivery information
I do offer a postage discount, worked out individually on a group of purchases. To get a postage discount, let me invoice you before paying.
Return policy
If you feel there is a problem with your purchase please contact me to discuss this. I never leave negative feedback for anyone without having first tried my best to contact and discuss matters and I expect the same when I am selling from my buyers. My feedback speaks for itself over many years trading.
