I just got a KATO SD40 IMRL for $53 off e-Bay !!! (To be fair, it would have been $60 with shipping, but we lived in the same area, so I picked it up!). I have bought about a third of my 50+ locos off e-Bay. Some of them have been thru MB Klein, who sells on e-Bay (and internet direct) as "ModelTrainStuff". The advantage of MTS on e-Bay is that you can sometimes get the loco even cheaper than their direct sales (store or internet)! The trick on e-Bay is to know what you want to pay for the item and stick to it - don't get carried away with bidding. In fact, what I do is use a proxy bid - you set a max bid, and the e-Bay computer will automatically increase your bid up to the maximum. This works for me, as if the item goes over my max bid I don't want it! The other e-Bay trick I use is to NEVER bid on an item unless the seller has a 99.8% approval rating of higher. And ALWAYS look over the feedback to be sure they are legit! Doing this, I haven't been burned in over 30 e-Bay wins.
