What is your biggest bill at the train store?

Hilarious!  Every time I hit sum on my Invoice spread sheet, I have a small heart attack.  I'm sure they probably had to call the paramedics when the person saw that amount.

Awesome haha I don't know how those HO guys fund their fun!

Amazing! Not a single item back ordered.

I hope he got free shipping.

Hey, why bring me into this? I have slowed down.. I can stop anytime I want.

Just the other day my wife heard these words come out of my mouth. "You are the love of my life." She said "How sweet." I said "sorry I was looking at a picture of the new Lionel Class A"

Reminds me of one time that I rode the F train in New York, it cost me almost $500.00!

Dave, I'm pretty sure I remember you saying this a couple of years ago, and explaining the reason why, but refresh my memory. How did it cost you $500 again?

Scott I know better remember I have known that Trains Store you frequent longer then you have and the only reason I have not spent more money there than you is I live 6 hours away and can't visit every Saturday!

A.Wells there is a reason my spread sheet does not do that because mty wife may see it and divorce me.

My wife has been making out very well, honey I would like a paved driveway, yes dear. Honey I would like a new stone wall, yes dear. The inground pool is next. I placed an order from a recent catalog and my deal ask me, "are you sure you know what you are doing", LOL. Thankfully not everything comes in at the same time. Whew!

My problem was buying PART of a private layout and collection $25,000 and I only bought 5 locomotives, the layout did have 8 mainlines and 50 buildings, some hand made. I bought all the rolling stock, track, switches, 50 tortoise switch machines etc.

A friend of mine (and a forum member)  who shall remain nameless racked up quite the bill at the train store.  Scott Smith has nothing on this guy. And they say O is more expensive than HO, if you look closely you will see that the offending item was weenie scale.

WOW!!!!!

I got off at the Ditmas Ave stop; Trainworld is right there!

I refuse to divulge that information for fear the CEO will see this post......

Naturally, I’m trying to figure out how the cashier entered the wrong quantity in that QuickBooks field. My guess is he or she typed a stock number there accidentally for Microscale decal set 710208903217 (the SKU for the product).

That is the problem with buying  710 BILLION of an item! Actually, I suspect this is a photo-manipulated image.  I am surprised that the software allowed such a large quantity to be entered and that the inventory software did not kick it back with some form of "Qty not in stock" message.

Read my reply above yours. The quantity is a SKU number for a decal set that cost around $8. No photoshopped image here. It was an error, one that obviously was noticed before the sale was finalized.
