But is mainly just that...window shopping. Unfortunately, I live in an area without decent LHS. The one that is local caters more to R/C and only gives a limited amount of shelf space to the other hobbies. So I turn to e-bay and try to find some deals. And deals I have found, but only by being careful not only what I bid on, but knowing how much my total with shipping will come to. If I ever have any doubts about how much things should cost, I take out my copy of the Walthers catalogue to get me a ball park figure. If my total comes up to more than what I see in the catalogue, I don't bid. So far I've purchased six locomotives (four of which are out of production), a boat load of detail parts (large lots that work out to $1 per detail set), and quite a few freight cars. A few thigs I look for in a seller, or try to list myself when I do sell somethign that no longer "fits", is a good feedback going back atleast four months, posted shipping charges at a reasonable rate, and the offer to combine shipping on multiple items.
