    I saw a Buy It Now for Kato "N" Santa Fe E8/9 A/B set, price was very reasonable for these still new items. I quickly made the purchase and received the package today. I picked it up and wondered why it weighed so much. Wow, what amazing packaging, beyond anything I could ever imagined. They really took their time to line the box with foam, then put the Kato boxes inside another box for extra safety. Here's the most astonishing part. There was another box inside that said Merry Christmas on it. Hmmm, I opened it up to find a like new Kato F7 Blue Bonnet and 5 Atlas Freight Cars, nice ones and a Kato Santa Fe Caboose. Somebody pinch me, I think I must be dreaming. I am so happy. I am going to write to them right now and thank them.
    There are still nice folks out there, and I guess nice things happen to nice people, right Colin ? right M.C. ? This IS proof that what comes around goes around.

    Merry Christmas to all !

    When I was a seller a couple of years back on ebay, I rewarded quick payers with an extra piece of rolling stock in their home railroad or a structure to thank them for paying so quick. One guy was a friend of a quick payer, who was the worst buyer one could imagine, like wanting the piece before paying, etc etc, complained he didn't get his "goodies" and never understood why he didn't.

    Some people around us are so clueless.

    Be sure to give the guy some great feedback.....he deserves it. Right now, I am buying stuff from only 3 ebay N scale sellers, all of whom are incredibly efficient. They sort of restored my hope in humanity or at least on ebay.

    Oh you bet, glowing feedback is on the way for this wonderful seller.
    You know, when a person has been selling for 10 years, and has several thousand feedbacks all positive, you know that person is exceptional. I.......I mean, "they" have worked hard to achieve that rating.

    Is there any chance you could share the seller with us? Most business can go to a good seller, good for everyone.

    Thanks in advance! Have a great day too!

    That is nice. I've been selling and buying on E-Bay since 1999 and have mainly good buyers and sellers. Haven't sold too much N stuff, but if you know anyone who wants RC Planes, have I got a deal for them!

    I am not sure if Admins would want me to promote one e-bay sellers screen name, but if you want to message me, I'd be glad to share their screen name with you.
