Where to buy Old Trackmaster / Plarail Items?

Cypher

I’m starting to get into Older trackmaster & plarail items, where are good places to shop & get decent deals?

Cypher For Plarail items I like to buy them in Yahoo! Japan Auctions. Take note you have to use a proxy for overseas purchases like Buyee or Zenmarket, but that’s your choice.

I recommend using everything and not 1 particular site. For me at least in the US, I tend to use ebay, mercari, shopgoodwill, facebook marketplace, and using a proxy shipping service like buyee for plarail (I recommend buying multiple items and having them ship together, as it should be cheaper for shipping).

Thats a tough question to answer and one that has been asked many times in the years of BPT’s. You see, a collector would be hesitant to give up a source they use for the older trains especially if there is one that give ’Decent Deals" as you say. That being said, diligently perusing the popular sites daily for the things you want will eventually produce something at a price you think is fail and are willing to pay for you. There have been many times where I have found what I was looking for within a large lot for sale for a ‘decent price’ and I turned around a sold all the extra stuff and kept what I was looking for.

MrKirby48 Thanks for the info, would you usually buy a whole bunch and then ship it out via the proxy?

depends on which character you want, it may be cheaper if you buy them through thrift shops, garage sales, etc. some of my items are acquired through craig’s list. If you opt for craig’s list, i suggest you meet the seller at public spaces like the mall.
