Yes, agreed! I confess I nearly bought them when I thought it was 6 for £24, on the basis that I'd find a use for them!

Prices seem fair, though at first the listing for the 6 hopper wagons confused me as I read it as all six as one lot (you did clarify in the details).   Probably better NOT to have mentioned QTY-6 in the title as that makes it seem like a joblot.  Buyers will see the quantity available box.

Thanks for your comments @njee20 , much appreciated.

I shall look closer at selling outside UK on eBay and maybe try a few experiments.

Not on Facebook and Sheila and I prefer the simplicity of eBay's 'Simple Delivery' system with its g'tees and low prices on postage etc.

Fingers crossed, but sadly our PHP version is very out of date, due to compatibility of the modifications.  With a lack of sponsors, I just haven't been able to go ahead with that sort of maintenance.  I will approach someone to see what can be done, and hopefully they can also fix the Alerts issue.

Scary that so many websites are going down around the world. 

The biggest issue you will have is that N gauge in the Uk is a small marker. Continental N within the UK is even smaller. If you want a quick sale then you may struggle, but that isn't necessarily indicative of your pricing being wrong. The eBay global seller program is very low hassle - you just post things to an address in the Midlands and they handle onward distribution (which my phone just autocorrected to "onward destruction" - perhaps prophetically!), so opening it up to foreign buyers needn't be a pain. I'm led to believe the postage fees buyers see aren't overly compelling, but you may get a few sales. I've had 20 or so over the years and never had a problem.

Are you on Facebook? The N'Porium classified page is many times more active than here; with the added advantage that you're putting stuff straight into people's consciousness, without them needing to go looking in the first place.

Many thanks for that Steven.

This selling N gauge thing is a headache for me at the best of times, which is one of the reasons I'm only selling to UK residents. So any help like this is appreciated.

On another tack...

At the moment the items I've listed are a bit of an experiment as far as prices are concerned. I do my best to look at values and condition - so far all are perfect and NIB - but gauging (N-gauging? )the market has me struggling with my divining rod!

Aussie's fault again. I know, I'm married to one

Frustrating as it is that's what they've chosen. You can ask, but "I shouldn't have to..." is a bit entitled. It may be that they don't want the aggro of dealing with international (or specifically Australian) orders, where returns get complicated etc. They are telling you the price, there is no requirement to make that equivalent to the face value of the postage even if they were only paying £12, and there's no obligation on you to buy.

I've just weighed a few Dapol models and estimate that, allowing for packaging, an order of say 8 locomotives or 12 coaches would each weigh less than 2 kg. I have also checked on my order for six pullmans from Revolution, and they are charging just £18!
