I feel I am finding less and less good deals on Ebay in HO items. I am selective in my searches and I am looking only for kits, generally for Northern Pacific equipment. I don't know if people selling N.P. stuff feel they have a niche market and charge accordingly, or what. I look at brass and feel there are good deals there on some items and generally one can buy a brass item for less than you can get it at a hobby shop or online dealer, if your patient. Still however, brass is expensive and I am very limited in my ability to purchase these products. However, (and this is a warning to new folks in this hobby) many items are as expensive as the local hobby shop and in many, many instances, more expensive! Then, you need to add shipping on top of the price and you are paying way more than you would, if you bought though a hobby shop. If you take the price from a good online dealer, divide shipping over several items on a purchase list, I think there are way more better deals online! Risk on Ebay, is always a factor! There are plenty of shysters out there and it is best if you are buying something you know very well. One of the categories that blow me away as far as prices are concerned are the old Ambroid, Silver Streak, Ye Olde Huff & Puff and Le Belle wood kits. These may actually sell for more than they did new. Also, there are few good deals on resin kits. What are you finding out there in Ebay land that is a good deal?
