I have been lax. I need to up my game. Over 12 million. Most are Trainz, right?

File it with "rare" "vintage" "mint" "minty" and a bunch of other horse crap. Some of the sellers don't have a clue, and some just lie.

WHAT!?!?!? Evilbait sellers don't have a clue and LIE? Gawd, now you've done it. That's supposed to be a secret! That's how evilbait thrives. "Winners" figure out they've been had, the bait will be in the toilet.

You know how they can't seem to keep engines and tenders together, yet claim new....but they came together...and sell the other half for more PROFIT! ?, well, seeing a whole lot of "no buyers for the garbage" and they're breaking them up.

Motor blocks, boilers, smokebox fronts, diesel frames, trucks, even saw a Lionel F unit lead truck, no motor, had the "apron" but they pulled the sideframes off for more, what was that again..oh, yeah, PROFIT!

IF I ever had a frontal lobotomy and decided to buy something off the bait, if engine is separate from tender, I'd send a note and pass.

Saw a 2344 NYC A unit, $150, no saving the frame..battery damage so bad...corrosion onto sideframes...pickup rollers GREEN, and who knows what surprises you'll find inside.

So much of this stuff out of east coast...found in a basement they pumped out after the last hurricane and floods.

Dave, I forgot to mention it, but be particularly careful of listings that start out: "Once upon a time......

once upon a time somebody actually got a good deal on the bait?
You know what really drives me nuts about the business practices there...see something "no reserve", but you can enter your bid with anything over, oh $200, which happens to be the BIN price. Uh, no.

You need to get a hobby...............like lepidopterology

Uh, no. Them suckers are too fast, flit around too much, and are too small. Interferes with my other hobby...target shooting.

Besides, my main hobby seems to be poking certain folks (inadvertently sometimes) to generate and post all sorts of photographic or .gif responses.

Perfect -- merge lepidopterology with target shooting.

I gotta see if the 12GA has butterflyshot rounds.....makes it more sporting, eh, what?

I've got a bunch of 12GA slugshots, but if you've ever tried to use the sights on a 12GA to pinpoint your target.....not fun.
Why they're called "scatterguns".

Precisely. A better challenge at say 30 yards.....and get out the old 20GA and be sporting about it

Or one of the Damascus barreled 12GA side-by-side exposed hammer black powder ones.
Drop the hammer, bang of primer...and wait. BOOM!

Get a 10 gauge goose gun......you don't need to shoot 'em, just tap 'em on the head with the end of the barrel!

Usually the backwash of a 1911 .45 slug going nearby will knock them out of the sky.

So much for sporting using a cannon to shoot fleas
