Started at 99 cents, so it was a decent buy for a while, if you like/want that sort of thing.

Just be sure you list it as "L" scale. :lol:

You use a hosting service like Flickr, Shutterfly, or Smugmug.

Rufus, IIRC I used to be able to post pictures by dropping the file name between the img’s and when I posted it a picture appeared instead of the file name that appeared now. I’ll admit it might have been prior to getting an iPhone and iPad. I was a flip phone and camera holdout for the longest time.

My original point was how people get crazy bidding stuff up on eBay without looking to see what they cost retail.

Happy New Year

I'm having a problem posting some images as well Peter. Guys on this forum taught me how to post photos of my models, by using a photo hosting service, but grabbing a photo from an email or ??? by right clicking and selecting "copy image address" sometimes gets me the address of the photo and sometimes the address of the page the photo is on. Has to be the image apparently.

File name does not equate to file address; you need the actual file address

I still use 2 flip phones; they have nothing to do with posting photos, :wink: :wink:

Sellers count on it!!!! It's a well known auction behavior.
