HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL - WORLD WIDE - ALL YEAR ROUND !

Hello, Thanks for stopping by, my name is John, and I have been a "Train Nut" for as long as I can remember.  Dad, brought me up right, trains under the tree at Christmas, Collecting all our lives, railfaning and taking steam train rides whenever possible.  I still have his first Standard Gauge Lionel Set, which I was trained on servicing at the age of 2. 

I was Disabled years ago in a car crash(2006), Due to my age & health concerns, I have decided to liquidate all remaining inventory from my closed(2004) retail business, which operated as Bolez Hobbies & will also be selling off from my Father's & My 90 year personal collection.  I still have many boxes in storage at this time to go through & sort what I am keeping for my HO Model Railroad under construction, and what I will sell off that does not fit my pre 1910 era.

Call or Text:  Ask for my cell # (6pm-9pm EST only)!
Local Pick Up Hours:  ALL hours for pick up by Appointment, Day or Evening!

The Following are My Terms &  Conditions of Sale:

QUESTIONS?
Through the ask Seller link are automatically posted by eBid, a seller has no control, also eBid deletes these & Offers when an Item ends so it is important to ask early(at least 24 hours before an item ends) or I may not be able to answer you.
#1 Question is always about S&H or Combining Items, this would be my best answer I could give you: 
I will combine items for 7 consecutive days, please let me know through the ask link, from an item you have won, that you wish to combine items from later listings. If you are done combining please let me know & I will send the invoice with proper S&H.

I give the best rates possible as I am selling my personal property & real estate, due to forced disability retirement and do not want to move the inventory listed. Thank You! I am only retaining 1890's or prior models as I plan to model the turn of the last century on my new layout.

Notice to All Buyers about Shipping & Discounts:
The eBid invoice system does not allow for combining different freight categories or allow billing of items listed in First Class when Combined weight is over the Maximum(Domestic 13 oz. & International 4 pounds US Weight).  ALL Shipping Discounts only apply to orders that wait for my invoice, Please notify me with the contact seller link from a closed item that you won to inform me that you are ready for your invoice. I strive to keep your hobby cost down!

Domestic Shipping for Hobby Items depends on how many items you buy, all are quoted as Priority as the ebid system postage calculator will not allow combining different classes. Most individual items can ship First Class & will if you wait on my invoice before paying(sent within 24 hours after bidding ends).  If you are ready sooner let me know & I will send it as soon as I see your e-mail request.  I will combine for 7 Calander Days!

Example of shipping: You buy 3 items weighing 5 onces, if listed as First Class Domestic only 2 can be combined, using Priority all 3 can be combined and ship for the S&H amount shown for 1 of these items.  If you only buy 1 item, I will invoice you at 5 ounces First Class Rate as Domestic First Class is Priority for under 13 ounces.

Please ask me a question if you wish a shipping quote, I do what I can to Keep these costs as low as possible.

International Shipments to Canada:
I have converted all shipping to INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY which also includes up to $100.00 insurance on all shipments, I can discount on the invoices for multiple Items!
If you wish me to ship International First Class, I will, but there is no insurance and package must be less then 4 pounds in US weight.

ALL Other International Shipments:
I have converted all shipping to INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY which also includes up to $100.00 insurance on all shipments, I can discount on the invoices for multiple Items!
I have had a few reported damages to First Class International Shipments so we only ship Priority International, However if you wish a quote on First Class, I will supply one, there is no insurance on First Class and the item(s) weight packaged for shipping must be under 4 pounds US shipping weight. We are also not liable for any damage that may happen in transit.

ALL SHIPMENTS: I have a Small Handeling fee of $2.00 USD included in above examples per ORDER this COVERS all ADDED COSTS NOT IN THE ACTUAL SHIPPING AMOUNT, PLUS the actual freight charge per the USPS postal calculator(This is all included in theS&H shown, nothing will be added only discounted when I send your actual invoice).  So feel free to combine as many items as you want all I ask is that you e-mail me that you wish to combine & save on freight costs after your first item ends.  If you would like a quote prior to bidding feel free to ask, However it may be off as I must guess the final weight, but it is very close & I would not charge any more then I quote for the items you would like to combine!

PAYPAL IS PREFERED!
MAILED PAYMENTS:
ONLY ACCEPTED, WHEN PAID WITH A USPS MONEY ORDER AND MUST BE MADE PAYBLE TO THE PERSONS NAME ON THE INVOICE NOT THE BUSINESS name as it has been closed for several years now.
CASH FOR LOCAL PICKUP ONLY, if you wish to use your card it must be done through PayPal.
NO CREDIT OR DEBIT CARDS AT THE STORE
&
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS MUST PAY WITH PAYPAL.

All Model Railroad items listed are items I will no longer use for my new model railroad, Items are from my Fathers or My collection & Store which I closed in 2004 most are new & never used unless stated.  From time to time friends bring items in to sell & I grade them accordingly, letting you know if used or new from a private collection. If they don't state from Private Collection they are New Old Store Stock which still will carry the Manufacturers Warrenty & are honnored by the new owner of the line.
 i.e: Walthers must warrenty Life-Like(& Proto 2000) items, &
Horizon the same with Athearn & MDC/Roundhouse Items.
Also Atlas for Branchline Trains Rolling Stock
Branchline Trains only produces the Laser Art Structures now!

It is important to leave feedback for every item, eBid calculates your rating for all feedbacks & awards buddy points which I use at their store for Packing Materials to keep your cost of S&H down!
