The Ebay effect

From the point-of-view of a seller, eBay has been a blessing. At 61 I've bought WAY too much stuff, and when my father, also a modeler and collector, died, I ended up with more brass, more books, more unbuilt craftsman kits such as Ambroid, LaBelle, etc. I've slowly sold off some of the excess and used the funds to add, very selectively, to my own collection and operating railroad. It really helps the modeling budget, and, I like to think, allows others to get some stuff they might not otherwise ever find... But it 's work. Selling requires discipline. Careful descriptions that don't overblow the item, careful packaging, and communication with the buyer all take time. But my wife, for one, is happy to see things go OUT the door for a change... Happy e-baying, Larry "Clancystrains" Warren
