MARTYHO

THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY PERSONAL PAGE

 If you are here by intention I am flattered you are interested enough in me or my listings to find out more about "Martyho". I came up with the Ebay nickname martyho because friends call me Marty and my favorite model railroad scale is H.O. Like many of you, my first train set was a Lionel "O" scale NYC freight set. It was fascinating and my brother, Lou, and I used to race our trains around our concentric ovals. By age nine, my father got me an HO scale starter set and I got hooked even more on model trains. The realism and ability to creatively design layouts in a small area of HO inspired me to go beyond O.

After my wife and I had our first two children, I decided one Christmas to pull out some of my stored train stuff and make a Christmas village with a train going around. In no time I was not satisfied with this puny layout and got back into the hobby. We were blessed with two more children (twins)and I found that certain conventional notions became irrelevant. I tunneled through basement walls to create a master layout four feet above the floor (out of reach for little hands) that woove in and out of three rooms. To stock all of this layout with proper buildings, scenery and rolling stock, I found myself utilizing the new technology (and lower prices) on the internet. The rest is history.

On January 28, 2003, the President of Ebay informed me that I had become a GOLD POWERSELLER based on my sales and feedback. I am proud of this recognition and work hard to earn my customer's praise. I have left over 4,000 positive feedbacks as I strive to be very conscientious about this vital component of the Ebay Community. I am a member of SQUARE TRADE so in the event of a dispute I am always open to using this mediation service.

Since its inception 18 months ago, STOREFRONTS have been a big part of my Ebay activity. Most days, I have more HO scale model train listings in my Storefront than any other Ebayer. I have found that certain items (i.e., cork roadbed, track) sell just as good or better than auction listings in a Storefront set price listing. Sellers only have to pay 5 cents to create a 30-day Storefront listing although we are charged the same closing fees as on Ebay auctions. If you have any questions about using my Storefront, please do not hesitate to ask. HAPPY RAILROADING!

WHAT ITEMS I EMPHASIZE IN MY LISTINGS

 First, and foremost, I enjoy creating, acquiring and listing unique or custom made engines, cars and structures. Living in Indiana as I have all of my life (except 4 years at out-of-state Wittenberg University in Ohio), railroads prominent in in this state head up my special listings. I am able to offer custom decorated MONON engines and passenger cars thanks to the talent of my friend, William Skirvin. He paints; I market to put it simply. We also do much Nickel Plate items. The other major focus of my selling on Ebay is new releases of high quality. Many people all over America and all over the world are avid model train enthusiasts but they do not live within a day's drive of a hobby shop. I have sold train stock to people as far away as Australia, Japan and Portugal. Although international sales take a little more work, each transaction has been smooth and much appreciated. I highly recommend opening your listing to international customers.
