Excellent place to buy and sell. I have sold and bought mostly train stuff on EBAY for the past few years. The biggest problem I have had is controlling my bidding frenzy and not bidding too high for an item. Know what the item is worth retail and what the mail order guys are selling it for. Set your maximum and then be able to let go of it if the price goes crazy. I have scooped up lots of good stuff for cheap. As for selling an item. What are your options if you have some niche item that maybe five guys might want in the whole U.S.? Ebay is great for making those types of connections. Where else could I have sold a used Marklin catenary set for $200.00??? In my opinion most of the train guys are honest guys. Once when I had a problem, the guy took an engine back and replaced it with a new one. There are certain items I would be much more cautious about (computers, musical instruments etc....) buying on EBAY. Many of the train guys I know have done very well selling and buying on Ebay. I think it is great for the hobby. Guy
