Maybe not purchases but I just "inherited" about 140 or so HO pieces of sectional track including terminal track curved and straight track as well as some short pieces. I packed them back up in the box and put it down stairs. Don't know who the manufacturer is but it looks to be pretty new! Gene

Picked up a couple of Athearn covered hoppers from the LHS (selection is always limited so I was shocked they were there)... Now to dispose of those accumates... tis a shame because they are actually nicely colored (gray). They COULD remain yard fodder for a little while. First train purchases in almost two months... I'm really slipping.

Did a buy now on a M/T general chemical 3 bay hopper, will be stripped and painted into GTW, cost me $22AUS with postage, better than $31 for an undec from the hobby shop, not much else happening here, just waiting for my other Saskatchewan car to arrive. Barry.....;)

Barry, can't you get an already dec GT hopper from I/Mtn? oh well, thats the beauty of custom painting. don't have to wait for re-releases. I'Mtn is coming out with a new Saskatchewan wheat board hopper. Green with gold lettering. I've yet to see these in the prototype world.

Got 2 MTL Ortner hoppers in mail. Did I get a great deal. Seller quoted me 4.50 for shipping (after I requested for USPS Air and told him too that global priority is way too much) Got package...$16.00 on the postage sticker. Did they get burned. Don't know what they got to get charged that after I told them to go with air. They didn't send me email saying it was more than quoted. They won't be dealing with canucks after that transaction. Sorry... Scared to leave (POS) FB. I almost want to disappear out of contact with them. I feel bad. even though I shouldn't. i told them to go with preferred method. They obviously didn't go to P.O first.

Dave Been there done that, I bought a hotwheels treasure hunt 2005 camaro as a buy now for $12 when they were going through bidding at between $25 and $80 each, the seller charged me $6 postage and then sent it airmail priority and registered, cost him $21 and then I got a great transaction hope we can deal again, feedback, I gave him a very nice positive feedback, and have no intention of letting him make up the difference any time in the future some times you win and some times you lose, either buying or selling, if you are happy give him a pos FB and just remember not to shop there again LOL. Barry.....]:)

Dave, I'm with Barry on this one. The seller was obviously stupid about the postage. His fault. Not yours. Don't feel guilty. Think of it as payback for all the times you had to spend so much money yourself. Leave POS and be done with it. B-)

Thanks guys. Yea it makes up for the time sellers charge me 12 bucks shipping and the postage sticker is printed with $4.50.

I've been told by the local postmaster that all packages shipped out of the states are now automatically Priority mail as they all go by air anyway. The only advantages are the free boxes and tape, plus insurance up to $75 is included. Cost me $18 to ship a two pound item to British Columbia. Doug

Yesterday I received my MT Yukon car, two kits I won from one seller for a handcar shed and the detail kit for it, and from VMT, three kits; two houses and one handcar shed. That should keep me busy for a while. B-)
