I hate to think what we'll do if our dollar takes a dive Phil, it'll be too expensive to buy from there, too expensive to buy from here, (as it is anyway, but probably worse, cause you can't win here whichever way the dollar goes!!) but let's not dwell on that, I'm just hoping it wont happen anytime soon, otherwise my pre-ordered 'new' locos from Rails of S might end up costing a 'wittel beet' more, so we take advantage of what we have for the time beink.........Dave

I don't think the dollar will change much in the near future, however I have always found shopping from OS has it's clear advantages especially in the area of hard to get items......Phil

[berth44]

Let's hope you are right Phil........Dave

I bought 2 new Accurail wheat hoppers last night for 18 dollars US, thats about half the price of 1 here........Phil

I should not be looking at Ebay, I've just been and bought a rake of 4 MK1 coaches from that same seller for 105 bucks +15 postage. At that price they are slightly cheaper overall that Rails.. 18.50 British pounds each, then postage, so I'm happy, bought 'local' and in front, but my bank account or wife wont be!!!........Dave

P/S, this seller is definately the cheapest Aussie yet...so far!!

Probaly a bad move, but I have bought those carriages from ebay, (my first ebay purchase ever).

Just hope paypal behaves and the money goes through on the 27th as paypal says.

[berth44]

You should be right Anthony,I don't think it's a bad move, I think you are getting a good buy for sure, just what you wanted....yes??, but why the 27th??...my payment goes through instantly with Pay-Pal??....I hope!!...Dave

[SkyFire]

Mine always takes about a week to clear, if I add a credit card to the account it goes instantly. But not adding a credit card to the account.

Sent the seller a msg about the money not going through till the 27th.

[berth44]

Right, I see says the blind man, better being up front, good on you Anthony.....Dave

[bluedot0]

A credit card on the account doesn't matter, I don't have one on my account and any payments i make are instant.......Phil

[SkyFire]

No idea why mine always takes that long, but it does.

[berth44]

I wonder if I'll be so lucky in getting my order sent as quickly this time??, 3 days all up with my Pullman from the same seller last week!
I see that that the latest MRP on the B'mann MK1 coaches is 25.95 British Pounds, that's almost 159 dollars and I have not included postage!...Dave

[bluedot0]

Bit of a bargain then......Phil
