I still wonder why most of his stuff isn't put to auction instead of BIN. More likely to shift more stuff at auction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely to shift more stuff at auction. because he thinks that he knows what it's worth. That's why he's has that GWR tank on site for about 6 years.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2012 You can say what you like but the geezer has 100% feedback. Now thats rare. With the sort of margin he is generating he can afford to buy good feedback. Any problem - he refunds generously, I have no doubt. Just a different business-model from most ebayers, that's all.

Any problem - he refunds generously, I have no doubt. Just a different business-model from most ebayers, that's all. Trouble is there's nowt so queer as folk. Anyone selling on ebay is lucky to get away with no negatives or neutrals. If you look at other sellers, quite often they've refunded and still got red mark from buyers! I had one neutral from a guy who said bogie on dmu was damaged but he'd replaced it. Never got in touch with me before leaving feedback - really annoying. I was really lucky with one buyer. He'd asked various Q's as he'd been caught before on similar item. I checked it before listing. When he got the loco it was dead as a dodo - absolutely no reason to think he was trying it on. I gave immediate refund and he sent it back and gave positive feedback, but I've seen plenty of sellers in same position get neutral/bad feedback from exactly the same situation.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2012 Must say the only time I left negative feedback was for a £600-odd transaction for a secondhand Nikon lens with new RRP of £1500. I put it on the camera and just knew it was wrong - was livid. Cost me £170 to put right. All righteous indignation at the other end. So he gave me bad feedback, too - sellers could, then.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 12, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 12, 2012 Amazing! but honest with images to show just unbelievable that there are actually bidders. Do folk bother to look and read or just bid without thinking? Not really. I would be tempted for spares - the cab LED units, PCB, motor, bogies and parts of the bodywork such as vertical radiator grilles and extended fan housing for converting other 31's. Even the chassis could be repaired and reused under a Lima body. I wonder if some unscrupulous person will buy it for a cheap deal, and then report to Hornby that it's a failed chassis.
