Don't know where Kato got this idea. Wrong kind of car. http://cgi.ebay.com/Kato-Government-of-Canada-3-Bay-Grain-Hopper_W0QQitemZ150225554278QQihZ005QQcate...

very interesting to say the least, you gonna bid for it Dave, would really be different, would have to be a Japanese or European prototype that Con Cor has at some time decided to decorate, as we all know they have no idea at all. ]:)

Have any of you guys bought something on eBay from a seller that has automated feedback? I have a couple times. The latest one was the most interesting: game as described - fast shpg too. Thank you! Well if I was the seller this would be great I am sure! Charles

[barrysfp45]

Sounds like some one making sure every one knows they are a top seller, can't knock advertising. ]:)

I've seen that type of Kato hopper before on ebay done in BN roadname. Neat looking but unless I see it on north America tracks then I'm not buying it. I like to get less than common roadnames that I see in Winnipeg (ex. Frito Lay from Dallas, pink-colored grain hopper,TFM autorack, etc. Saw a Ferro Mex autorack the other day.

Has any one seen that the feedback is now growing with each buy even if you have dealt with the seller previously, I have bought a couple of things recently from sellers I have bought from before and have received an increase in score, has the system changed or is it because it is a couple of years between deals. ]:)

[ginzokid]

Well, it hasn't affected my ratings that way. I just sold two items to one buyer and only got an increase of one even though he gave two feedbacks. What I did notice a while ago was the grand total of items sold or bought has disappeared. I had well over 800 items bought or sold but not everyone gave feedback. Now the ratings only show feedback received. Frankly, the feedback system is not worth much any more unless you see that there are a lot of negatives given. B-)

[barrysfp45]

your total feedback is showing you recieved 909 so it still gives an idea, but who really looks anyway, the only time I check a sellers feedback is when the stuff I bought is taking too long to get here, then I check feedback to see if others have got the same treatment. I bought two items in the same transaction and still only got one feedback, the ones I am talking about are from different sales, one was from a couple of years back the other is probably about 5-6 weeks apart, it amazed me when the score rose and I knew it was only a recent thing. ]:)

[jamajack]

Pete, At the top of the feedback list above your last feedback it shows what your total feedbacks are in small letters, yours sits at 909 right now. Jack

[ginzokid]

Gee, could they make it any smaller or hard to find? My freshly painted cars came today and now I have to decal them for the G&D. I'll post pics when they are done. B-)

Didn't take a picture but went thru the yard the other day and there was a string of empty centerbeam lumber cars about a kilometer long in BC Rail name. Unreal. never seen so many lumber cars at once.

[70novahound]

With the economy the way it is, those cars will be sitting everywhere. Nobody is building right now, but it is a great time to buy furniture. CJ]:)

[dl85vette]

Saw a CN train today pulling a huge string of empty centerbeams. Not sure if they gather the empties from various lumberyards/warehouses etc and send them back to BC or where ever all at once.
