The Station Dilema-Problem Solved!!

could it be that at the time you were over come by the havtahaveit syndrone and now you dontawanit.. best of luck 

Seems like you are calling out a wholesaler for not buying something from you. That is poor form. They are under no obligation to take something back. Of course they are ignoring you.  Put yourselves in their (corporate) shoes. That's not the way business works.  Also, consider that they probably pay less than half the retail price for these items.

They advertise.

You buy it.

You don't want it.

You can't sell it.

I don't think they should bear the brunt of your frustration over buyer's remorse.

(Have you tried selling it on Ebay?)

There are THREE of the GCTs on eBay right now with 'buy it now' prices of $1740 - $2150. Of course, the highest one DOES include free shipping....

Perhaps if you list yours with an opening bid of $1000 - $ 1200 you should easily sell it this week.

Personally, if I was your LHS I would jump on the offer you gave him. Especially if he is sitting on several of the (cheaper) Union Pacific pieces, unable to move them. Which station will be more valuable in a couple of years do you think?

This guy needs a diaper change.

IIRC this forum in general was foaming at the mouth with adoration over the prospect of this station being made. Is this how others now feel? I saw a mint one at Allentown. IMO it looks like it may be worth $500 at best.

Cloth or paper?

Yes.

This is the most hilarious post EVER...ANYWHERE!!!  Get a grip man...GET A GRIP!!!  Train Dame is probably a guy named HARRY!!!  It just is not worth that kind of money...I agree with BIG0!!!  For me, $1500 is a nice set of trains!!!  Beware of people doing the HARD SELL...people have been specializing in parting other people from their money since the beginning of time.  Buyers' Remorse can stress you out, and ruin the Hobby for you.

I haven't met her in person, but the pictures I have seen leave little doubt.

Dame or not, this IS a hilarious thread . . . 

ain't nothing like a train dame!

nothing in the world! 

WEll for 1500 you can get one of the great 3rd Rail engines.The station is very large and it is probable that few O gaugers have the space for it or are willing to pay the price!Early adopter are often left holding the bag, Not fair but often true!

Detail-wise, I don't think this station, which I have seen "in person", is worth over $200. But this is just my personal opinion. "Limited Production" means nothing to me. It's the end result that counts.

We are not questioning whether RICH is a nice guy...we are just questioning his mental state...he will live forever in the anals of the OGR Forum!!!

Well I think the get a grip comments are poor form.He may be ranting but your comments show you need to grow up.
Once you buy a high end item you better be sure it's really what you want.

I will say this it's like some of the sub contractors that work for me. They give me some lame excuse that although I've heard nothing out of them in two weeks it's because they were busy? BS how hard is it to call a phone number and say I'm tied up?
My answer is yea you WERE busy and now your busy looking for a job see ya.

train dame is no different .How long does it take to say I'm not interested.
typical of some businesses . everything is fine until it's not then silence.
Thanks for the tip dude . I won't buy anything from her. I won't buy anything from someone who can't answer a simple e mail even if it's just to say no.

You know they are very nice looking stations, and even though the prices are steep, most people, like myself just cannot find a place to put the dang thing!

Wow!  Remind me never to vent on this forum.  It's like wearing a sign that says "kick me."

Sheesh.  Cut the guy some slack.

GET A GRIP!!! 

Not only will this live in the anals but also in the annuls of the OGR Forum.

I have seen first hand both stations and they are exceptionally detailed and finely crafted.  Anyone should be proud to own one or both of these!

Hey Train Dame,

That was a great reply. U R  "A#1" in my book.

Joe

Wow!  Ball's in Rich's court now. 

LOL, P.T. Barnum must be having a good chuckle over this.

Thank you all for your interest ... I appreciate the comments and I'm sure Mr Blume is well aware of what is alive in the "anals" of the forum...
