I completely understand that this hobby, at least for the HO and N guys is mostly a craftsmen hobby when it comes to structures. I myself would have a very hard time buying a pre-assembled structure, just like others have said, i love to build them and get the satisfaction of knowing hey, i built that Its a great feeling..... The only way i would buy a pre-assembled structure is if i happened apon a GREAT kitbash or scratchbuilt structure that caught my eye and interest. I might even be willing to pay a little extra for it if i really like it....
Ive been selling a few structures on e-bay, but i really dont think e-bay is the way to go. By the time a building is sold, its cost me nearly $10-12 bucks for a $80 structure that i sold in fees from both e-bay and PayPal. Which also hurts the profit..... But there is really no other place to list these, and get the amount of people to see my auctions other then e-bay. Sure i can list them on the forums and such, but that is to a limited amount of people. I guess you get what you pay for in a way, listing on e-bay will cost you if you wanna get your auction out there for others too see....
Id like to thank everyone who has voted and posted here, you all have certainly given me alot to think about, and that is just what i was looking for, advise Thanks again!!!
