Lionel on ETSY

I've always thought of etsy as more of a source for crafted and hand-made items - I know they are trying to branch out into 'antiques' but the things I've found toy-train-wise are usually wildly overpriced. 

Its all old stuff

like you Charlie

ETSY hardly ever has trains. If you find it you may get a good deal because no one really looks there.

Before now, I never even heard of them.  And from the look of things, it's probably the last time I'll even take a look.

 

But, that's just me, and I suppose some of what they offer is interesting to some others.

I had never heard of them before, and wondered if anyone else did?

 

 

Hey Bill

Remember we graduated in the same high school class.

I never heard of them before now, but as Allen said I doubt if I will be going back. There may be a few old items that I like though nothing I can't find at Nicholas Smith and at about twenty percent less.

 

If I'm going to buy hand made stuff it will be things that look alot better then what I can do myself.

Charlie ,I remember but I lied about my age

My daughter posts her fiber arts on ETSY for sale.  I have looked at it a number of times.  I wouldn't expect to see any trains there, unless someone posts an odd one or two in the antique section.
