Train Collectors Association “TCA x-Change”
The Train Collectors Association has launched the TCA x-Change. It’s a site designed to be an extension of the TCA’s Interchange Point, a printed listing of items wanted or for sale that appears in the group’s National Headquarters News. The site is similar to eBay in that items for sale can be listed on-line with price, photos and descriptions and there are good search capabilities. It’s different from eBay in that there is no bidding, no fees and no direct way to exchange funds electronically. Buyers must contact sellers directly to discuss the transaction and payment method. Items wanted can also be listed.

Only TCA members can list toy trains on the site and contact sellers but anyone can browse the listings. A TCA member can list up to 100 items on the x-Change for 30, 60 or 90 days and can also request that up to 12 items be listed in the printed version of Interchange Point. It seems to be a very nice alternative to eBay for TCA members and after browsing through the on-line tutorial, it’s very easy to use.
Check out the TCA x-Change here. If you’re not a member of the TCA but would like to join, click here for details on how to join. One of the requirements for membership is to have sponsorship from a current TCA member. I’m a member and would be happy to discuss sponsoring anyone interested in joining.

As a side note, I noticed that the Operations Manager of the TCA, John V. Luppino, has launched a Blog entitled LOL- Luppino On Line. Click here to visit John’s blog. Welcome to the the blogosphere John!
