As has been said, you have to do your homework. You have to have at least an idea of the retail prices of stuff you might be interested in. Example, there is a large train show in Galesburg, IL in June every year. My son and I have been going there. Even if you don't buy anything, it was interesting to see all that is available. It probably took us a couple of hours to see everything there. I know that this might not be the case at smaller shows. Anyway, one of the first vendors we looked at had a Kato CNW bi-level coach for $44. I almost bought it then being a couple of bucks less than what I saw at a hobby store, but I decided to look at other vendors first. I could always come back to this guy. Good thing I waited; someone else had it for 37.50 which was the one I did buy. Other vendors ranged up to $49 for the same thing. <br /> <br />This Galesburg show was mostly HO but there was a good representation of N, O, scale and toy, and G.
