I think California and China are run bye the same people,but Im not sure ...Jerry

 

China is running a surplus, and California's finances are a shambles.  Perhaps California should consider a change of management?

hmmm, Im having one of those "that didnt come out right moments" maybe I need a prof reader..Jerry

I have several of these lights on my layout.  I love them.  They look fantastic. Never had a problem with this seller.  In fact, i tried to buy more, but he has disappeared from ebay.  Any ideas how to locate him, please let me know.

For starters, this thread is 9 years old, so that "might" have something to do with it. Secondly, the majority of the China sellers I deal with on a regular basis through ebay have shuttered their stores due to the covid-19 outbreak .... at least that was the response I got when I questioned the lack of product in their ebay store.

I’ve been buying from them for years and they always shut down three weeks for the Chinese New Year and like Mark said they may be down for health reasons.

The ebay store still exists ....

https://www.ebay.com/usr/wehonest_cn?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754

They have no items for sale currently as they are one of the China sellers who sent me the following message ....

"Sorry but I can't ship goods at present because of the virus in China now, I am afraid this status won’t end until November, thank you for your understanding, sincerely, David"

I've bought from them too and their name still brings a smile to my face.  I could be wrong, but I was looking for signals before the Coronavirus got rolling over there and their railroad stuff in their store was practically none. 

Hopefully they will be back and aren't one of the several million cellphone numbers that have disappeared in China this year.

Several times their site has been down and or very items after the Chinese New Year but over time it is back to normal.  At one time they were my source for 1mm 1½ volt micro bulbs but now I can’t find them anywhere so I guess I have no alternative but to use LEDs.
 
Been working on this Kenworth for three days, it would have been done in one afternoon if I had some 1mm bulbs.

SWChief,

Have purchased numerous, including lights, items from We Honest over the past few years, have been more than satisfied with what I have recieved. Understand it is not museum quality, but doable.

These are WeHonest street lights about 10 years ago just after installing them.  I made Mel connectors for them so I can remove them easily, old Clumsy Mel would ding them working on scenery.
 
 
 
 
 
The time invested was well worth it, ten years later and I haven't screwed up a singel streetlight.

thank you.  Hopefully he returns when this all calms down.  These lights are very good and make a big difference on a layout.
