Notes from sellers

Yes, I have, numerous times, from many sellers. One of my favorite sellers is from Chicago, she always leaves a note of thanks, and has even put a freebie item in with a purchase a few times!

The late Kirk former owner  of Just Trains in DE used to throw in a free freight car in a  shipment every now then. 

I've gotten a few, mostly when I got something off ebay. On the opposite end, I just got an email this morning, from a guy I sold some trains to. I sold him a pair of NIB Mantua steamers that I bought about 20 years ago. I posted them on Craigslist, and sold them to him yesterday. I saw the email, and before opening it I could see part of the first line stating that the Mikado would not run. I immediately thought "Oh no, he wants his money back". Nope, the grease had hardened, and once he cleaned it up and lubed it, it ran great. He just wanted to thank me again for the locos, and said it was nice to meet me. Not a bad email to start the day.

Yes. I have gotten many. After opening and viewing the item I close it up with the note etc. inside for the next person in case it isn't me for whatever reason God has planned.

I haven't gotten any, but I have left some.  I sold an engine recently and  I meant to reprogram it back to engine #1, but forgot so I put a note in letting them know the programmed engine # and said thanks for the purchase and if they had any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.  No reason for them to have to guess or think something doesn't work.  

Yes the late Fred Dole sent me a note saying Merry Christmas when he sent me a couple of extra pictures from when he shot my layout for the article in CTT.  I still have it.
