N Gauge Discussion / Re: Ebay Is Dead To Me

The fee model changed a year ago, I'm not sure it's made any difference. It certainly didn't for me, I just adjusted all my prices to compensate for the fee transferring to the buyer.

A bit too slushy and sentimental for me but it is quite pleasant.

Haha, at least the wife didn't leave with the dog this time...

It will be interesting to see if Ebay dropping seller fees will have any impact?
I've avoided selling or buying from Ebay for a decade or more, but my try selling a few things again.
When it comes to secondhand prices, Rails of Sheffield currently have a pre-owned 'Peak'for sale for just 4 quid less than a brand new Rapido one will cost you. Shades of the Hatton's work-experience kid in reverse :P

Hi running well. Maybe show your colleagues this forum and the real life loco

Certainly seeing you pass time waiting for a shout is fun

Now getting a proper running-in at the fire station.

Of course I've been mocked. One of my mates thought this was hilarious:

Quote from: Platy767 on June 06, 2026, 06:11:16 AMNot sure this is "Prog Rock" (maybe Synth or Symph Prog) but it was something close in 1977.

Used to have the vinyl(or maybe a cassette). I have listened many times.)Mainly fair, but some good bits.

Thank you for sharing that Mark @Platy767 .
Having listened to it right through now it's very interesting and in parts right up my street but it is very much of it's time.
Obviously influenced by such artists as early Genesis, Caravan and perhaps Man with a bit of Camel thrown in.

I rather liked the somewhat laid back vocals.

And social media 'influencers' heavily allied towards Hornby and TT120
