 If you model HO, check out the HOYARDSALE group on Yahoo. There's one for N scale (NScaleYardSale), and probably other scales as well.

UPbid.net is starting to gain some ground. It is still small however. There are no listing fees.

I’m disgruntled about all the fees, etc. from E-Bay and I’m getting annoyed by all the phishing and fraud that’s happening on Craig’s list. My other hobby is RC aircraft.  I’ve found the marketplace on RC Universe (www.rcuniverse.com) to be absolutely fantastic!  I’ve had great success using this – and it’s free! 

Question: Is there a model train version/equivalent of RCU anywhere out there?  Specifically buying/selling/trading used train stuff.

 

Thanks.
