N SCALE
“Tackle Box”
3 pack plastic box as used by Micro-Trains from 1995 through 1997. These seemed like a “good idea at the time” but were VERY short lived, as they were an “odd” size, didn’t stack well, cracked easily, and the “clasp” at the front was prone to breaking, as were (but not nearly as often) the hinges across the back edge. At first, many of the boxes were “sealed” by placing the price tag across the side, efectively keeping the cars inside from seeing layout use. This was changed on later releases, which pleased the “runner” faction of the hobby, but didn’t please the collectors. So after just 3 years, the “tackle box” was phased out. Here is a chance to replace one in your closet that is cracked, scratched or broken. This box is
BRAND NEW
, has NO cracks, scratches, broken hinges OR clasps. These are EXTREMELY hard to find in good or better condition. I only have a LIMITED number of these available.
NOTE:
Due to the fact that these are FRAGILE, they will ship in a larger box than required, causing higher than normal shipping costs.
WARNING:
This is NOT a t
oy and is NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 14.

SALES TAX NOTE:
In 2018, the U, S, Supreme Court overturned a long time exemption from sales tax for persons not connected with the taxing jurisdiction. There are over 5000 sales tax jurisdictions in the United States. Many have recently imposed a sales tax obligation on internet sellers and
eBay is imposing and collecting sales tax on behalf of those taxing jurisdictions.
As a seller, I have NO idea whether YOUR jurisdiction taxes internet sales or at what rate. At the end of the transaction your invoice will include the appropriate levy on the sale (and in some cases, the shipping costs as well)
as determined by eBay
, which will be added to the total cost of the auction and will be YOUR responsibility to pay. If you believe the rate to be incorrect, please contact eBay. This is all new to me, and I have NO control over what your State and local jurisdictions levy as a tax.
Please read and adhere to all requirements contained in this listing.
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:
Paypal:
Credit Card payments:
(through Paypal only)
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 try to 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!
