One important life lesson is that if it sounds too good to be true, than it usually is bad news.
It is a shame that so many people fall into these traps, but one reason (maybe not in your case) is that many people have a misguided belief that businesses make HUGH profits. That they sell things for $500 that only cost them $20 to make.
The irony there is that if you believe that sort of thing, you are more likely to think extreme discounts are real, and be drawn in.
In most cases, especially in a small market lke model trains, legit businesses are selling their products at the lowest profitable price.
Sure, at the local yard sale, or other "disposal" sale, you get things cheap. But no one puts up an expensive web side to sell off unwanted inventory at a loss.
Contrary to popular opinion, most times you get exactly what you pay for - or - you never get what you don't pay for.
