ProZ sets and T-gauge on sale!

One of the local hobby shops is closing down. All stock is 50% off!

I picked up a ProZ EF65 locomotive in two-tone blue (Freight color) with 6 container flat-cars, #PZ1-005, for 8,200 yen. That's about US$91.00! That is less than half the price on feeBay!

There are a few more of these sets, plus the other freight set with the loco in the brown color. They also have some of the EF65 with the passenger and sleeping car set.

I think there were some of the freight sets without the EF65 locomotive. These sets contain six flat-cars with five containers on each flat-car.

AND... T-gauge. All the sets are available at 50% off. Plus, almost all of the T-gauge accessories.

So, here is my offer. If anyone is interested in any of these items, I am willing to get them for you, while this sale is going on. I figure you have about 24 ~ 48 hours to let me know what you want. I am not going to sell these for a profit. I'm making this as a friendly offer to all my Z 'friendz'. All I'm asking is, if you tell me you want something, that you will follow through with the payment.

I was only at the shop for a few minutes, so I cannot be sure what they have available or not. Please do not ask me to go check to see what they have, because by the time I get home, send you an e-mail, you reply, I go back to the store... they probably won't have it. Just let me know what you want and I will try to get it for you. I'll do my best.

If you have a U.S. address, I can send everything by U.S. Postal Service from a military base. If you have a non-U.S. address, I can ship by Japan Post. I also ask that you pay for the postage of your choice... Priority Service or First Class by USPS, or EMS by Japan Post. Shipping will depend on weight and service, but I'm guessing between $7.00 ~ $15.00. If you want insurance or tracking or delivery confirmation... all that is extra and at your expense.

I am not going to buy sets and list them on feeBay. You will just have to trust me, as I am trusting you. There are a few folks that I have bought, sold and traded to here at ZCS. I will assume they are willing to vouche for my good character.

I will accept payment by PayPal, personal check or U.S. Postal Money Order. If you prefer to use PayPal, I will ask you to cover the percentage that PayPal charges me for sending me the payment. If you send me a personal check, we have to wait until I receive the check and it clears deposit... then, I send your items.

Please feel free to ask me any questions. Please contact me directly at techrepjapan @ yahoo.com or post to this thread if you want to vouche for my character or tell folks otherwise.

I can personally vouche for the character of Alex. He is very trustworthy and a man of conviction. I am happy to call Alex a friend.

So can we vouch for Alex

I would go for some T Gauge, but Mr. Wallet would be very unhappy. Bad timing, unfortunately.

Mr. Smith! What?! I just sent you some money for winning a few feeBay items. That would be more than enough to get you a T-gauge starter pack and train set. But, I do understand it's bad timing, with Christmas being here already.

Maybe you have some items left to trade with?

And it all went to Mr. Bill Collector, thank you.

Mr. Smith, Unfortunately... I've had the same problems with the IRS for the past three months.

Anyway... you did not miss out on anything. When I got to the shop today, almost every thing was sold out! There was a guy that had probably walked in 5 minutes before me. He was in the process of buying the ProZ A&B layout set, the blue loco with passenger and sleeper cars, a brown loco with freight set, a blue and white loco with freight set, the extra freight set, and the commuter train set. Almost everything he was getting were the display models! I was only able to pick up a few sets of ProZ, but not as many as folks had asked for.

Same for T-gauge. There were still T-gauge train sets, but no starter sets with track and power-pack. All the extra track packs were sold out, too.

So... I'm sorry to say... no T-gauge for me to send out. My mistake was not buying up every thing the first day of the sale when I just happened to catch it. I had thought about it, but I wasn't sure if I would have been able to sell it all. Oh, well...

I'm sorry to let so many fellow Z'ers down.

Windfalls are like that Alex. If they were made to be, you’re in luck. If not, don’t beat yourself up about it. You gave a more than gallant effort. And everybody on this side of the Pacific should appreciate your incredible efforts to bring them happiness.
Next time may be different and you’ll share the wealth of Z Scale happiness.
But for now, there are a lot of people who are grateful for your efforts.
Much thanks, Bill
(I know, I didn't order anything, so I can speak so calmly. But really; great effort and thanks to you, Alex.)

Alex,
Not possible.
It was very gracious for you to offer. Bill expressed my sentiment very well.
Thank you for try trying.

THANK YOU, Bill and Jerry, for your nice comments.

For those that placed orders with me, please contact me again at techrepjapan @ yahoo.com

For some unknown reason, I lost a lot of e-mails over the weekend. I don't think it was my mistake.
