Very nice work on the bed.

I have a couple questions ,,,

 

Looks like there's going to be 2 shipping charges.

 

 

Two,, Who's doing the shipping from the outlet to the buyer?

Only one shipping charge will show up for the buyer, just like now.  The payment is simply separated 'behind the scenes' and the buyer will not be aware of it in my understanding.

Most of the shipping will apparently be done by USPS, though Pitney Bowes will have the option of using others at times.  I think they'll try and stick with the most efficient and economical.  Unfortunately, there's not as much information on that as I'd like yet.

The overall shipping costs should stay the same, or less, than it is now.

Also, sellers are not required to opt into this program for international shipping.  They may choose to continue to ship as they do now, or not ship internationally at all.

Picked up this lot on eBay Sunday and it arrived today:

Came in an 18 x 18 x 10 box, no packaging, just parts.  Lots of great parts, a little junk, quite a bit of new, and mostly all in very usable condition.  Very pleased with it - probably take all weekend to sort.

Joe,

Yes, thanks for the Ozark Miniatures Site.  It does have the 1:24 scale listed, but it's still in nominal sizes, which is fine.  As noted earlier, after someone else (Art, I think) mentioned it, I realized I hadn't even considered 1:48 as being workable.

After looking at the availability and prices for the amount I need, I realize I'm just better off to buy a saw and cut my own.  I'll pick one of those out next week and get it ordered.

I appreciate your input.  Thanks.

Bill,

You're right - thanks for the correction - was thinking 1.75 for some reason. Guess I was trying to stick with the 2:4 ratio.

Hugh,

Thanks.  Thought I knew the dressed sizes off the top of my head, but Bill just showed me I probably need this.

Anyway, appreciate all the comments and help.  Think I've found a couple possibilities for what I need and will check some reviews and decide on something.  Again, thanks everybody.
