Anyone know anything about Joels Toys and Trains from eBay?

I recently made a purchase thru Joel’s Toys and Trains on eBay, and have not received my package, nor have I been able to reach them by phone or e-Mail.

The last 2 feedbacks were, within the last week, negative, and stated slow, or non shipments. All other were very positive.

Does anyone have any information on this company? is Joel ok?

Thanks,

Kurt

Kurt,

I bought a 45N gateman from Joel on ebay in 2006. I had no problems. I think that Joel has a job that requires him to travel, so that might explain the delay. I think that his cell number is listed in the auctions. Is that the number you tried?

I think that I have purchased from him without any problems, however, unless you provide his Ebay seller-id, I cannot be certain.

I don’t know about this guy, but some only ship once or twice a month. I recently purchased two switches and it took nearly three weeks to get them. Feedback for seller was mostly good, with some mentioning slow shipment.

Seems I purchased on 9th & he ships on 28th. I checked postage & it wasn’t USPS fault. Funny how payment is expected in 5 days and shipment may take forever.

Just received word from Joel. He’s just a bit backed up on shipping.

I am a steady customer of his. He has a store at Quakertown, PA. He mentioned once to me some time ago that a family member has serious health issues. This may account for a certain distraction and he may have a lot on his plate. IMO he is one of the most ethical persons in our hobby.

Best, Mark

I’ve won a couple of items from him with no problem

I won a few things from him, no problems. He is also down at YORK, so he is a TCA member.
