A new issue of N'spirations is now available. It is an A5 all colour magazine exclusively about British 1:148 N gauge. Issue #5 is the latest copy and has just been published. Copies can be obtained;
* Through ebay with payment by Paypal (occassionally when batches are listed)
* By mail order with a cheque for £3 (includes P&P).
* Directly from a number of specialist traders/dealers including the N Gauge Society. Please note that these will probably not be available from the traders until at The International N Gauge Show (10/11th September at Leamington). The plan was to launch N'spirations5 at TINGS so the bulk will be available thjere from the usual traders.

Hi griffo49,
The magazines sell quickly but i would think it's possible H will list some more on ebay here is the link to the ones H put on today
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120765466260&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
if you save him as a seller & have mail set for any future listing from him you will know immediatley they appear.
Alternativley H will let us know of more on ebay or you could message him for a copy.
I'll list more batches on ebay at a later date. I like to have a break from all the envelope writing, sealing, stamping and posting, and besides I need to go and buy some more envelopes. And I prefer orders by cheques as the bank doesn't charge to process a cheque where as Paypal is taking what is equivalent to 10% of such small value transactions in charges.
Also there should be plenty available at TINGS and you'll only pay £2 over the counter for a copy.
H.
Placed my order yesterday and the magazine arrived this morning. Thank you H for a terrific service. I'm looking forward to having a good read!
Have you looked at a Paypal Micropayments account H? https://www.paypal-business.co.uk/take-micropayments-with-paypal/

Thanks for that. It looks like it's a little saving;
5% and 5p on £3.30 = £0.215 (6.5%)
whereas
3.4% and 20p on £3.30 = £0.3122 (9.46%)
although it's still a lot more than the £0.00 a bank charges to pay in a cheque. And the snag is it doesn't explain whether that applies to outgoing payments as well as incoming payments (which would then penalise me using Paypal to make high value purchases of unrelated goods). It says it's for all transactions and states "rate applies to all payments going through the account" but thats not very clear.
Later update; I've managed to get an email reply from paypal and apparently it only applies to incoming payments - so I've signed up. Thanks for the pointer.

You can have different buying and selling accounts. As far as I remember you just need to register with a different user name and email address.

when a new batch on ebay is listed you will get a mail from them if you have it set for it , you have to be quick though a batch can sell in a day.

Yep, every day a batch sells out and every day (so far) I've listed a new batch. And, of course, alternatively people can still mail order by sending a cheque - that saves bothering with ordering on ebay and using paypal.

Recieved mine today H, many thanks for the excellent service. Looking forward to a good read later, looks excellent though.
Thanks again.

I actually ordered the recent copy recently, a first for me as my interest in British railways is negligible, and it arrived today.
It appears to be a good quality magazine, and if H has no objections, once I have had time to go through it, I will give some honest feedback. I noted, briefly, a section at the rear about getting started, so I will look at the mag as a whole from the perspective of someone who is new to British N Gauge, which to be honest, is true ;D and is looking for some guidance. I'm not expecting it to be Model Rail magazine, or whichever takes your fancy, but from his posts on here, H is apparently an intelligent person with a good knowledge of our hobby, so I am looking forward to a good read :thumbsup:
