e-Bay Listings
Posted by cacole on Saturday, May 21, 2005 10:01 AM
I was just browsing through the G-scale listings on e-Bay and noticed that a lot of the items are HO or N scale. The sellers have the scale listed correctly in their descriptions, but posted them in the wrong area. I bet they're wondering why no one is bidding on them, too.

One item offered, for example, is an Overland Models HO Brass C-44-9W with only one person bidding on it. I model in both HO and G, and have found more HO scale items that I wanted in the G-scale area than in the HO area.

So, if you're looking for a particularly hard-to-find G-scale item, don't forget to look through the HO and N scale areas on e-Bay -- it may pop up there and you may wind up being the only bidder on it.

I didn't want to let this trick out of the bag, but you blokes have been good to me here and offered nothing but kindness.

Try misspelling the names of your favorite Large Scale Dealer and you may find treasure, its worked for me!!!!
