COLLECTORS: This is one of the DE state cars missing the 1 from the 1776 to left of door.
FROM THE ORIGINAL "STATE" SERIES, this auction is for one (1) N scale 50' single plug door boxcar, painted white with red roof and ends for the State of Delaware (DE), with road number 1776. This item comes in original box with "plain" Kadee lid, Magne-Matic (Kadee) couplers, and REVERSIBLE insert for either rapido or Magne-Matic (knuckle) couplers. The box and lid are slightly yellowed from age, and contain some minor scuffs, scrapes, scratches or cracks, from normal shelfwear, not affecting the car inside. Original rib-backed wheels show NO "track time" apparent. Paper insert has $4.50 price printed on primary end flap. Both sides of ONE car shown. The photos should say it all. BUT, if you have a particular question about this (or any) car, please ask. I'll be happy to answer any and all questions to the best of my ability.
NOTE: This car sold for $197 in a past auction.
NOTE: Item is New In Original Box (NIOB), with no faults other than described.
WARNING: This is NOT a toy and is NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 14.

GENERAL:
I have tried to list this item as accurately as possible, but I may have missed something very important to you. If you have further questions, please ask before bidding. I want you to be happy with your new purchase and have no surprises upon receipt of item. All items are sold "as is", and all sales are considered "final" unless the item was grossly misrepresented in description. If you see an error in this listing, PLEASE let me know so that it may be corrected quickly. I will try to answer any and all emails received before auction close, but I may not receive your question in time to reply if you wait until the final 24 hours to ask. Please feel free to contact me using the "Ask Seller a Question" link in the upper right hand corner of the listing.
PAYMENT INFORMATION:
Payment appreciated within 3 days, but required within 5 days of auction close.
I will gladly accept the following types of payments for your convenience:
eBay managed payments
DELAYED PAYMENTS:
If you cannot or will not complete the transaction, please don't bid.
However, if there is a legitimate reason for delayed payment, such as being out of town when an auction closes, please contact me before you bid, so that other payment arrangements can be made.
BID CANCELLATIONS:
I reserve the right to cancel any or all bids from those bidders with negative feedback, at my discretion.
FEEDBACK:
I am proud of my feedback rating, and got it the old fashioned way, being honest with the people I deal with. I still appreciate your opinions about our transactions, and welcome your feedback.
However, due to the high number of buyers that do not take the time to post feedback upon receipt of items, I feel it only fair, that I will now post your positive feedback only AFTER receiving mine from you. Keep the system working the way it was intended.
SHIPPING:
I ship to US only at this time.
However, if you live elsewhere and wish to bid, please ask. Each request will be considered.
I will not ship C.O.D.
Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii MAY cost more than shown in listing. Please ask for quote before bidding.
I usually send invoices within minutes of my last auction closing of the night. Typically, you will receive your invoice within 1 hour of your purchase.
If you want your item shipped to an address DIFFERENT from the one eBay supplies to me at auction end, please notify me immediately, as I print mailing labels shortly after sending invoices.
I am always happy to combine shipping charges when practical.
NON PAYING BIDDERS:
I will notify the winning bidder on the 3rd day after auction close if payment has not yet been received.
This notification will be through eBay's "Contact Buyer" forum for record keeping purposes. I ask that the winning bidder reply to this notice within 2 days to confirm payment intent.
Non paying and / or non communicating bidders WILL be reported to eBay 10 days from auction close, and their ID will be blocked from future bidding on my auctions. Item will be re-listed or sold to the next highest bidder on 11th day.
Thanks for looking, have fun, bid responsibly, take a peek at my other auctions, and good luck!
