"internet" website hobby sales

Here's something from the Pennsylvania attorney general:

Didn't we have a long and interesting topic on this company years ago, on the old Atlas forum?

No jail time, though. It's almost as if it's only viewed as slightly naughty.

I can think of at least two that I’d like to see get the same treatment, wont name names, but one sells a lot on ebay and deals heavily in three rail O in addition to N and HO…..

I had an experience with Internet Hobbies when I first got into the hobby. I can’t believe they are still in business, and that there is no jail penalty for them.

I read the article, and out of curiosity checked out one of their sites, model train closeouts, and its “open for business”……

www.bluerailhobby.com / bluerailhobbies.com is another company to stay away from. They create a label then never ship had to go to the credit card company

Is this the same company that ships out items with minimal packing, therefore resulting in their damage?
And is there name a misspelling of the word 'trains'?

bingo. I would sign any petition to get them thrown off ebay if it had any chance of getting traction. I once ordered a OOP loco from them, it wasn’t in stock, the auction said it was, it took two weeks of multiple phone calls and finally filing with paypal to get my refund. Lowlife Shysters.

sounds familiar...had a similar experience with them, but they refunded by themselves
