What are some of the deals that people are getting at York? Personally, I made a couple of major scores. I picked up a rebuilt postwar ZW type R transformer for $150.00 in the White Hall. The second score was a Williams scale Hudson with bell and whistle for $399.00 from Charles Ro in the Orange Hall.
On to find more deals.

Prices are great on older PS2 new and used Premier steam and Lionel pre-Legacy scale steam.Older used brass scale steam from Weaver and Williams is at bargain basement prices I'm seeing 60-70% less than what they cost new.Saw some good deals on older 3rd rail brass. Folks are willing to deal if you pay cash.
I never considered "hot deals" to be the norm at York. You have 2 kinds of dealers. Many seem to like displaying their stuff and socializing. The others are there to actually sell stuff (aka get rid of it). Since I'm primarily looking for "upscale" 1:43 model cars, I dash to a certain dealer first thing at noon on Thursday. Yesterday I got a 1951 Buick Le Sabre Motorama show car that retails for $225. for $75. Last Oct. I got a model that usually goes for $80.-$100. on eBay for $30. from the same dealer.
I got a set of 4 brand new (sealed in shipping box) Williams Southern 60' semi-scale passenger cars for $90 from Trainworld. That's my deal of the show.
Train World was blowing out Williams Scale GG1's for $150.

Yes, and I believe fellow forum member Marty Fitzhenry told me he scooped up ten of them! Now there's a man who likes his GG1s!

Actually the final price was $140, after the additional $10 discount because the purchase was over $100.
I purchased two GG1's at that price.

Yeah and when I showed up they were all gone! Great deal! I'm sure I would of bought several at that price!
I picked up an MPC Chessie U-Boat for $75, late PW 6464-275 NH w/a chipped catwalk for $15, MIB K-Line 027 NH Streamliners for $100, and assorted bits & pieces for another $30. Nope, I'm no high-roller but I had fun for three days.
