I buy and sell here on OGR. Shipping charges are high compared to preowned train prices. I recently shipped 2 diesel locos from NH to Ohio via USPS ground for $54 including $500 insurance. Also shipped a $21 gondola from NH to PA via USPS for $13 (on line estimate was $10.68). Post Office told me that my scale was off......NOT! I've passed on buying something that I wanted here on the forum because shipping put it over the edge. I take advantage of FREE shipping from Train Vendors like the Muffins or Model Train Stuff. Since Brentwood Antiques closed its brick & mortar shop, my closest hobby shop is Charlie Ro about an hour & I get to enjoy paying MA sales tax. NH has no sales tax.
