Re: responses

I never said feedback is what the site is about; but if it meant nothing, it wouldn't exist, would it? It is a minor component of the overall operation. I am VERY satisfied with every other aspect of it, and was questioning why there is sporadic updating of the feedback. I did an 'inventory' of the ones I've gotten so far. 45 items purchased, and #1,3-5,7-8,11,15,18-19,22-29,31-39, and 42, no feedback. 45 is to be paid for today. 2 of the completed feedbacks were from outside sellers.
My main point, I guess, is the older ones, once skipped, seem likely to never be taken care of. I know this is a busy place, and things like this, of lesser importance, get put to the back burner. If I'm the only one mildly annoyed by that, so be it.
I've praised Charles and Co. many other times on this board, and I do truly appreciate all they do. Buying these items would be a lot less fun if this site weren't here, and I thank them all for their hard work to keep it running the way it does.

Auctions

Maybe if your to not the kind of person that can what for a responce then maybe an auction website is not for U.

Re: responses

i am relatively new to choo choo auctions, and i also have been given only i of four feedbacks. the service and honesty that we get is more than worth any little problems like this. also i have always gotten a good deal and fast shipping. thanks charles and crew, jack

i hope no one misunderstood what i was saying i was not intending this to question charles from choo choo i am more then happy with the items i been buying and the response of shipping they perform exceptionaly well my comment was directed at soe people here who bidded on my items and then dont have the courtiousy of informing you that they recieved an invoice and when payment should be expected by i do say i need 24 hrs for a response on my invoice and 7 days to recieve payment i think thats more then fair and chucktrains if you cant afford to bid an item you shouldnt bid and then you dont even reply in a timely matter with zero feedback you would figure to reply especialy when theres instructons to do so having a negitive feedback is not the way you want to start in an auction site when trying to purchase items its peopple like you who force us to make these rules

Re: responses

Hey.. thanks for the kind words!

I do take feedback seriously. Jean used to do feedback when we were in PA in her spare time. Unfortunately Mary never has any spare time so I have to do it at home when I have a chance. I try to do some everytime I think of it.

The main problem was when we moved we were down for almost a month and got so far behind both business and money wise that feedback was the last thing on our mind. I only started seriously doing it again maybe a couple of months ago.

I know I've missed some feedback, and have not yet gotten a good system for doing it, but I can assure you that when I do it I go down the page and try to finish a page completely before going onto the next. I don't ever play favorites.

This coming move will be much more organized and hopefully won't shut us down for more than a weekend. Everyone cross your fingers.

Sorry to change the subject but once we are up and running in our new home things will be much better and more organized because we will have room to breath!

Well I'd better get to work. Still have to post some auctions for tomorrow.

Thanks again for your input (feedback if you will) on this issue as this is what this board is for.

Take care,

Charles Siegel

Re: responses

Walter, if all the feedbacks Charlie HAS posted about you are POSITIVE, what difference does it make if he is behind in posting? Any one that checks you out as a possible buyer is going to see all POSITIVE. I'm sure if you needed NEGATIVE feedback for any reason Charlie would post it quickly. Be glad there is no reason for that action. I've been buying on this site for many years and he will get caught up. In the mean time give him a break so he can find more trains for all to buy!!!
