[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Morpar Since I am a cheapskate myself, I have no problem saying YES, you are a cheapskate! I personally think the prices for the current R-T-R stuff are WAY TOO HIGH!!! I have a problem spending more than $10 for a freight car myself. Yes, I too have a couple of expensive cars, but most of mine are Athearn blue box, followed by modified Tyco, then MDC. I think for the occasional car, over $10 is fine, but for the majority of my fleet, the cheaper stuff is just fine. I personally prefer to have more cars than better detailed cars for the norm. The saving grace is that my LHS doesn't raise the prices from what he paid for stuff. I could go in there Monday and pick up an Athearn 86" flatcar for under $5 (and I have too)! He has a decent stock of older Athearn and MDC that is still for sale reasonably. I am not really up to date on the modern stuff, so his selection is fine with me. The new stuff he has is going for the new prices. You might also watch E-bay, I have gotten some good deals by buying groups of cars, then selling or trading what I don't want. Good luck. [/quote] I'm with Morpar. Sounds like exactly what I do.
