How much are we talking about here anyway? A few dollars, ten, twenty, more? Life is too short to be seen as a cheapskate. If you are lucky enough to find the out of production item you've been looking for, BUY IT! End your quest. Or perhaps while dickering someone else will buy it! <br /> <br />I have an out of town model railroad friend who used to drop in a few times a year when he was in town. It seemed that his whole focus in the hobby was how cheaply he was able to get things. I think he would badger the sellers at train shows so much that they would eventually give him a good price just to get rid of him. It really became boring when he visited, with his constant "I got that engine for $20.00, marked at $40.00", etc. <br /> <br />BUT when HE offered stuff for sale there wasn't much dickering on his prices! <br /> <br />Have fun! <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
