Thanks Ripley, I agree, those black Hopper cars are cool. The trick is to find them buried in listings of multiple items and not the listing of these by themselves as they are price pretty high. For example: these three cost a total of about 2300yen but came with 15 other items in two separate auctions. A great deal when you figure in that some listings are almost this total for one Hopper car. So after selling off the additional items I pretty much get these rare Hoppers for free or darn near free with all the Fees and shipping. I feel pretty lucky in that respect.
Really the rebuild hasn't officially began with the Layout, only some changes and removals. I am waiting to do some videos the first of which is very near. The Monorail Station is pretty much done. I just have to create a couple of signs with the Stations name and some departure & arrival boards. I have found myself in a vicious circle...work on the many customs I have started, changing, moving & removing the layout, buying more stuff, going through said stuff when it arrives and cleaning & repairing the items, organizing all the items we don't want or need, packaging them, creating the listings for Ebay...getting more stuff in...and it all starts over again.
I will say that its get harder and harder to find anything to buy anymore, just not as fun as having so many wants. I know I have never said this before...but this is my last package from Japan.......ahem....wait.....I have some purple coaches waiting at the Japamart Warehouse now.....ah...er....DOH!...Might As Well!!!
The revenue generating items will go straight to Ebay because that is what I need, revenue and all the others I may take a picture of but I can't guarantee there will be anything of much value.
