Nicholas Smith Tent sale

Definitely looks like some Lionel deals to be had. Received an email with a link to stuff "at blowout prices".  That's where the Lionel items were listed, but it's not a general 10% off Lionel like it appears for some other brands, such as Atlas-O, for example.

Thank David - could you possibly share the link so that I could take a look. Don't want to waste the hour drive.

Here is the blow-out link from the email...

Not much Lionel rolling stock listed, but there may a Lionel locomotive or two from several years ago (or more) that calls your name.  Other than that, nothing jumped out at me as a "must have".  But YMMV.  And there's likely ALWAYS something you'll find when you visit a store as nice as Nicholas Smith Trains.

I live about 45 minutes away so I'll give it a shot. 

I am working there to help Joey. There are going to be deals on Lionel, MTH, and many other brands in all scales. 

I wish there was a blowout on some of the Lionel steam they have ..

They have a great inventory and Joey is awesome to deal with!

I agree 100%.   Joey is the main reason I buy there.....great customer service!

I made the 45 minute drive from South Jersey.  Not much that interested me but I did purchase the Lionel Amtrak HHP-8 Command Control engine from the set for $195.  I went upstairs to look around and that Legacy CN GP-9 piggyback set really caught my eye. That set would have never appealed to me had I not seen it in person.  Perhaps, a future purchase.

I have never found the prices at Nicholas smith to be too high. And Joey is prolly the best train guy I've bought from and I have bought a lot of trains in the last few years.

  Had I not found that engine I would have walked away empty-handed.  I was hoping they would have rolled out some of those LGB engines they have sitting on the warehouse shelves, and maybe offer some blowout pricing on scale Lionel rolling stock and engines, but it was not to be. 

I was there for the first time today, and I loved the place. I wasn't really there for the tent sale, however. I happened to check their website the other night, looking for a GW-180 to power my Christmas layout. I won't claim I checked 100 places, but their price was well below any other I have seen so far, so I was happy to make the trip out there after work. I saw a lot that interested me, but since I was on my motorcycle, my cargo space was pretty limited. 

So the whole point of a tent sale is to sell the stuff you have too much of and sell the stuff that nobody wants. They are in the business to make money so giving away all the great stuff at screaming great prices is just not going to happen. Now if you went there looking for the deal of a lifetime on all the great stuff that was just foolishness. I have probably spent about 50 grand at Nicholas Smith, all of it with Joey and I can honestly tell you that he has never shot down an reasonable offer I have made. If there is something you want make him a realistic and fair offer and youll get it. Some stuff he just needs to get rid of and maybe you get lucky but in this world, make your own luck.

Got there early found this right away for me it's a great deal thanks Nicholas Smith and Paul 

I went there today and Rich Foster from MTH was there and he brought the new WiFi app with him. I had a chance to try it out and I it was really neat how it operated. i think once it goes into production that people are going to really like it. And for good measure I bought a Lionel Angela Trotta Thomas box car at the tent sale.

I stopped there this afternoon.  I purchased a couple packs of Woodland Scenic Trees for 10% off the sticker price.

 

And I picked up a Lionel Wabash F3B Unit for $70 on-line. Can't beat that price.
