Hi all,
I'm setting up this thread for anyone who wants to buy, sell, swap, exchange or is looking for (wanted) any model railway items.
Please note that whether you buy, sell, swap or exchange any items through this forum, the onus is on both the buyer and seller to check out who they are dealing with and neither the forum nor any of it's members can be held responsible for any bad deals.
Please be aware of online fraud and bogus offers to buy or sell. In order to minimise the risk of being ripped off please follow these simple rules;
1 Do not give your full postal address when advertising items for sale
2 Only give the name of your town and postcode so that those who are interested can see how close to or far away you are from them
3 Do not show your phone number within the advert or announcement. Whilst only members can post here, the general public can still read the posts without being able to reply so potentially your phone number can be seen by anyone. Any members who are interested in your sale can send you a private message or PM and then you can reply in private with your number.
4 Please be clear and precise in the description of what you are selling or looking for it's okay to mention brand names, models and loco name and number. Be honest and mention any defects. If a loco is not in working order, describe it as a NON-RUNNER or, for spares/repairs. Mention the condition of the item such as paintwork, scratches and any missing items such as decals, buffers, couplings, wheels, windows etc.
5 In order to get as many people interested as possible show pictures
6 Nearly there ........... don't forget to mention the price! Also mention how you wish to be paid, cash, cheque it's your choice but I would strongly recommend Paypal
7 Last but not least, if the item/s is sold, then please update your for sale posting so that the thread can be closed, so avoiding annoying and pointless enquiries.
