Il Grifone Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Add this lot to the 'usual suspects' list which seems to be growing. I believe this is still Gostude under another name (but just as much a rip-off). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2014 I believe this is still Gostude under another name (but just as much a rip-off). That certainly agrees with something I was told at an auction some time back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 6, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Even down to the contact name, address and telephone number although he does use a different email address, probably for PayPal purposes. There are other Ebay traders who sell under more than one name. For example a chap who trades as Tinplatelad has also traded under at least one other name in the past and might still do. One reason for it might be that they are the sort of folk who buy in large quantities at auction (by that I might they spend well over £10,000 at a time buying in stock - on one occasion I heard one of the big buyers saying that his limit for that particular sale was £12,000) and with a need to shift it quickly it's advantageous to have more than one selling name as they can get more online at once in a way that will be looked at without bashing through too many pages.

Smiffy2 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 And another 'kit built' r-t-r with some detailing... On another note I'm getting hacked off with Rails. It looks as though their inflated prices (and of course those of Gosturde and his sock puppets) are pushing prices up generally. Or specifically, Dapol Terriers which I am seeking at the moment...

Thane of Fife Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Despite all the free publicity that they get on this forum, neither of the usual suspects have sold any of their MIB, Painted to a high standard kit built locos, in the last month. Some of their items have been waiting for a buyer for over a year, many even longer. May they continue their success Thane of fife Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they did accept a 'best price', pity the price accepted is not disclosed. Many of Rails recent second hand offers have been far worse.

acko22 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Ok apart from the issue of people trying to pass tat off as something of quality which is well rather prevalent on Ebay! Anyone think that especially the established stores need to give more details of the items they are selling?? I am going for DCC and there are models that are on sale that look like they are the newer models so have the space / designed to incorporate DCC, however as there is no info on it and half the sellers don't reply to questions on the item, the only way to find out is to try and research the item online which can come up with no real answer to the questions I have! Anything else have this dilemma? And feel the same? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 .... half the sellers don't reply to questions on the item, .... I once had a seller who only replied to the question *after* I came out as top bidder for the item. Annoying? You betcha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
