You just won $500 Shopping Spree! What do you buy?

[Anonymous]

I doubt anyone who has replied to the original poster's question has actually READ the Official Rules.

I have, and the prize ISN'T disbursed as a check; rather, the winner receives a GIFT CERTIFICATE for the prize amount, to be redeemed at the winner's favorite hobbyshop.

I would post a maximum bid amount at Ebay high enough to ensure that I get my out-of-production locomotive that nobody else seems to want... until the last thirty minutes of bidding. GRRR!

I haven't used Ebay in the past, but recently decided just to peek and sure enough found something I've long been looking for. I'm getting FED UP with the way my maximum bid gets exceeded in the closing hours consistently... even if I have been the only bidder on a given item. So far, I've lost over $250 worth of bids, and the only ones I've "won" have been instant-purchase items.

So, $500 = Max Bid on the next RSD-15 I see,,,,

Yes, it's the TAXES that get you LOL.

I still say MR should increase the amount in the winning spree jackpot. $500.00 won't buy much.

What would I get?
Maybe start with some computer interfaceing ; sheetrock for my train room; and the last choice would be Alco's in Ho.

I always wondered that. Since the MR sweepstakes lets you buy through your local store, and my local store has the business card of a layout repair specialist, I think I would take $500 worth of services from him to get the !@$#%^& wiring and some of the @^^%%$## out of guage tracks reguaged, not to mention the $###@! switch machines operating, so I could run the trains I already have in a more relaxing fashion.
