It's an excellent market place for old trains.

It's my only place to buy old trains at this point. If it weren't for The Bay... I'd be a stuck duck.
(I keep forgetting to check OGR's "Sell" forum!)
I agree: 'Ya gotta' pay attention and keep your head cut-in about pricing/shipping/etc. What I have purchased off eBay the past few weeks, ended up being purchased at genuine "good" prices.
(Confession: I've really kicked myself for not acting immediately on a "Buy It Now" listing for a set of 2031's in really nice shape at the lowest price I've seen recently. Oh well!)
SO... in many ways, eBay is what you make of it. It's like the small bird whose habitat is the harsh desert: It flits about and draws nectar from the flowering plants it finds. A larger bird circles overhead, scanning the scorching hot desert looking for carrion to eat. Same environs, two different birds looking for two different forms of sustenance. One looks for the sweet, the other the putrid. They both find what they're looking for.
Many things in life depends on what we're looking for, whether looking for the good, or the bad, we typically find it.
