I have found that you really have to research any item you may be interested in on Ebay. Many items go for more than retail and the shipping charges on some are out of line, even considering package costs, etc. That said, I have gotten some fantastic deals.... A brand new Trix Big Boy for $310 including shipping, a brand new Rivarossi Challenger (new style) for $172 including shipping. Brand new Command 2000 DCC with hand held, Loco & power pack for $30 including shipping. Other items I purchased came out to about retail when shipping was added, but for me, since my nearest real hobby shop is 75 miles away this is acceptable since it costs more to drive there and back and I get what I want when I want it. Like I said, research is the key to making Ebay work for you. It is very easy to get caught up in the bidding frenzy and end up paying way over retail. I have watched many auctions of items I am interested in and seen them go way out of line. The only exceptions I make is for a particularly rare item that I "must have" but even then I try not to go overboard. Anyhow, my 2 cents worth.
