I went trolling thru MTH's in stock list over the weekend, and bought a few things. Really, it wasnt that much....and I spent $ 12,000. Bought mostly buildings, figures, accessories, and 2 rail engines. A few 3 rail engines. Didnt get any more freight cars...not that I dont like MTH freight cars...its just that we only net about 15$ a car, and that kinda poor for a return, and we have plenty of MTH cars here now anyway.
Amazingly, which U probably didnt know....I can still order items from the 2019v2 and the 2020v1 catalogs. I was amazed too. So if there's something u want and u thought u missed the boat, u can shoot me an email and I can see if its avbl. There are about 275 items from 2019V1 showing available, and 550 from 2020v1.
Bought a bunch of Golden Gate Depot P70's and other heavyweight coaches over the weekend... Gotta check them out and see if they are as "new" as advertized, then put them up on the web.
Things u maybe didnt know we had....
Ppl come to us mostly for Atlas and Weaver, cause not that many other ppl carry it, and our stock is pretty deep. MTH sales have been picking up, and even more Lionel is selling. But in case u didnt know. we have quite a bit of MTH buildings from back years (a lot are on the web) and I'm going to start putting a lot of figures and accessories up on the web too. And we have some williams up on the web too. Not a lot....I only got some of the Williams scale sized stuff...not everything. I only buy williams if its heavily discounted. Obviously their retail prices are ridiculous. I try to sell williams at 40% off retail. I just bought some GP-30's that Im going to put up for sale in the 200$ range. Thats what a conventional engine is worth, imho.
I think most of the woodland scenics building we have are up on the web. Their figures are great too, but it will be a while before i get them up for sale. Same for the NJ International stuff, and Z-stuff.
Other Long term projects are to get more Lionel NOS freight cars up on the web, and fix our old display layout (from back when we did shows), so I can quickly test some used engines and Proto1 engines, and get them up for sale. Im expecting to offer them in the 200-250 range.
Im only 2 orders behind (yay!) , so gotta get back to that.
Thanks,
beth
