Now we all know our hobby doesn't really have big runs of certain trains, rolling stock, structures or perhaps an older model that's been fading away. Do you have a list of items you're always on the look out for, and yes I mean at a decent price, since I've seen rarer items go for ridiculous prices. Post it up!
Two I'm usually looking for are:
Kato HO SD80MAC
Busch Pennsylvania State Police Car
Tom
Model Conrail
PM me to get a hold of me.

That would be Bucsh Maryland and Louisiana State Police cars for me plus and Erie or Virginian 2-8-8-8-4 Triplex in O or HO, a Bavarian Railways ML 2/2 "Glass Box" in both N and HO, and this little booger here, from the UK...
I agree with you, it's too easy to peel off coin for what we want...I like to pay as little as possible---not cheat or cheap, just frugal---, part of the fun I have in this hobby.

Last year I would have said "railfans" (in model form). The closest I could come were a set that had fallen afoul of the Patriot act.
But I did find a set and saw the same set in someone else's photo.

I seem to be able to finally decide on something once the company has gone under, been bought out, or had some sort of disaster befall their production line. So the stuff would not be so hard to find if I just obeyed my instincts and bought it the first time...!
Examples include: Hamilton Model Works kits, Adler Models kits, Roco WW2 Russian military trucks...

Sanborn Fire insurance maps for the prototypes of interest to me. It is easy to get local ones for here in Cincinnati, but a different thing entirely for the Oahu Railway.
Pictures of the various buildings needed to build the towns along the Oahu Railway.
Pictures of the seldom photographed places along the Oahu Railway.
As for the actual hobby supplies, I generally build my own...so cheap OR&L mechanisms (specifically the B-man On30 2-8-0s for under $100) are what I'm constantly searching for on ebay. Someday, it'll be good deals on D&RGW K-28s to built OR&L #60, 70, 80, & 90.

My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO

Appreciate the links...$27 for shipping is a tad on the steep side though...
I've got questions going out to others in your list, thanks so much for proving to me that they were made...

Thanks to Shortliner, I can strike the State Police cars off my list I honestly did not believe the Maryland one existed, even questions to Busch went nowhere...
