I just wanted to give a big thanks to Eliot Scher for going above and beyond, the usual.
I wanted one of the boxcars he had listed on the buy and sell board. We exchanged info, I mailed the check on Monday from California, Eliot mailed the box car USPS from New York same day. It shows up in my P.O.Box today, Wednesday, in absolutely perfect condition! Never have I received anything that fast.
Thank you Eliot for such a great transaction!

There are some nice folks on the Forum to be sure. Recently I made two purchases and both sellers shipped the items before receiving my checks. I actually had the merchandise several days before they received the checks - the packages moved quicker than the letters!
Yep ... LOL. I think before PayPal sent me a notice that I sent money, Eliot sent me the tracking numbers 
I also bought one of Eliot's boxcars this past Monday morning; he shipped it that morning before m y check was mailed and it was in my Florida mailbox today as well. Thanks to Eliot for his trust and a shout-out to the USPS for fast service as well. The USPS does appear to be trying harder.
I also wanted to highlight the USPS as well. I use my P.O Box for deliveries instead of random porch drops and I have always had excellent service and total security.
I think they are often times a great overlooked resource.
