Announcement regarding first run TrainBoard N Scale cars - All members please read

your right??????

I wonder if a pic of the car could do the advertising?

 

Would it be possible to sell single cars here on TB? Follow the NMRA heritage model, with 1 or 2 cars sold per scale. Then offer sets of 3 or more on ebay. Loyal members of TB get something. The Zscalers have something to enjoy. The difficult part may be to see cars sold at a higher price on the Nscale Collector site. You could be working on another car to add to the fleet.

 

This might sound silly seeing how new I am and all. But why couldn't you just sell them instead?
Set a price for them and then maybe you could actually sell more then one or two here and there.

By auctioning them off you leave out people like me who don't have a credit card and can't bid on ebay etc.

Just a thought.

 

I use personal checks for eBay purchases. I don't have nor use credit cards at all, they cost too much. Just look to see if checks are accepted, or ask the seller. Most of them will accept your personal check. You may have to wait 10 days for your check to clear before the seller ships to you, but so what?

 

Reward the loyal participants here at TB - not the collectors on the Bay. We should have first crack at them. Set a price - or take prepaid orders for future delivery. I think any supporter of this forum would be happy to shell out some cash. If someone orders or commits without prompt payment - they lose the car.

When is it going to start?......I can't stand the excitement !

 

Wrong Scale for me, however I think ebay charges to high of a price in all their fees to make any decent money, it should be in house and like it was said, when we needed the money to keep this great site up and running the folks here stepped up to the plate and hit ball after ball after ball out of the park.

 

Just now catching up on topics. I skimmed the whole thread, so may have missed a few points. I think it comes down to how much energy people are willing to put into this effort, which is grand and can continue for a long while. In-house would probably require less effort, with less return. I personally don't like eBay, unless I score a G4 logic board for $30, rather than $200! But that's my personal problem. The person responsible for all the work of selling these should make the choice.

 

re: signature by the car maker

Steve, if you get one I'd be more than happy to grafitti it with NSL for ya :thumbs_up: :shade:

 

re: decals

:asl: Decals (in all scales) are on my list of to-do's, once I can find a job and can divert my enery to something else besides looking for employment

 

...off and running, WTG!

 

I think Ebay would bring the best exposure to the group.
But on the other hand would like to see the cars sold to members,I know I would and many other Nscalers here would like to have that car on there layouts, MAybe it would be a good idea to get them produce by advanced purchase and get orders going for them.
