  • About me

    I joined Bonanza in early summer 2009 (when it was known as "Bonanzle") with high hope for great things. Previously, I was on eBay where I developed many wonderful relationships with my customers, who kindly followed me here, where many others have found me since then. The problem with eBay, as many have learned, is very high pricing and a set of rules and regulations which are impossible to understand.

    I have been richly rewarded at Bonanza, where I can communicate directly and freely with customers, price my products aggressively, and run my operation as best suits me and my customers.

    My focus is HO scale model railroading for the most part, and my product selection and pricing is aimed toward advancing the hobby by making it easy for newcomers to jump on board and old timers to find something they might be able to use.

    In case you don't find what you need here, please visit my web site where you'll find other offerings. It is www.ezbizwebsite.com

    Otherwise, contact me for the address and directions to my physical store near Charlottesville VA. I may be reached at 434-823-4809 or by using contact link next to my picture, above, or by direct email to jsgeare@yahoo.com

    Thanks very much for your consideration.

Scott is a kind and caring man. He helps anyone and everyone who crosses his path in life. You can not possibly have an interaction with him without learning something. He is a friend and life coach to all. Be Blessed and Thank YOU!

JS,
I just wanted to stop in and let your know how much I have appreciated your amazing mind. The way you put things in writing that has given me much pause over the last several years and has often made me realize some things about myself. You are such a wonderful asset to Bonanza and the community here and I just wanted you to know this.

May your trains always lead you to just the right place.

Blessings,
Sage Warrior Merari

I needed a question answered yesterday and JS was so wonderful in answering my question with not only an informative answer but was so friendly and wonderful in offering to help me. This guy is a class act. Thank you JS.


TipTopMgr says: October 20, 2011

There have been a few times that I have emailed JS to ask a question for help on something. He has always been very nice about it every time and does not mind in giving plenty of knowledge to help solve a problem. I am glad to know there is someone like you here on Bonanza with us. Thank you Scott!!


GuysGifts says: September 07, 2011

He loves my word fanominal!!lol He helped me when I needed it the most and didn’t even know I did. He kept me from getting into trouble with google since I am pretty new at this I didn’t know I was doing something wrong and as a great guy he gave advice and let me know to change some things to keep myself out of trouble. Most people wouldn’t have bothered. HE DID!! I can’t thank him enough and wish there were more people like him.
A GREAT PERSON!!! NUMBER 1 IN MY BOOKS!!!


GuysGifts says: September 07, 2011

What a wonderful and caring person. I owe him so much. He is such an asset to Bonanza and him just being here is a great relief to me. If I need help I know I can always count on him….Thanks again


chiefbuzzbee says: April 23, 2011

After reading all the above I don’t know what I can add. I will say he will help you find the answer if he can’t answer it for you , a great person!


PC_Bob says: April 01, 2011

Whenever I need help on a Bonz problem, I first do a search on the subject and if I find a reply by Scott, I know immediately that he will have a good answer. His replies have always been calm and thoughtful and right-on. The support at Bonanza is top-rate, but Scott is another source for good answers.


kiaya611 says: March 25, 2011

In all of the time I have known Scott, he has proven himself to be one of the most honest people I have ever met. He is kind and thoughtful. He is the kind of person that anyone would want as a friend. I am also a customer of Scott’s and dealing with him as a seller is beyond reproach. He is unbelievably fair and willing to help in any way that he is able. His approach to his business is different that any other I have encountered. He is truly interested in his customers. He will without question work with you as no other. He truly wants to help the hobbyist and is not in this to make a fortune.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Scott. If you ever have the opportunity to deal with him, you will be dealing with a very special person.

I trust him as a friend and a vendor. Give him a try, you won’t be sorry.

Here is one heck of a guy who is willing to share his knowledge. Always on the ready to help you with any question you may have or guide you in the right direction if he does not have the answer. God Bless him.


KBCreativeDesigns says: December 08, 2010

This Man knows just about everything! Honest and helpful! HE is the guy to go to , and he will tell the TRUTH!


bonchooch says: December 04, 2010

“What you see is what you get”! That PERFECTLY describes Scott Geare. I’ve been buying from him for over 2 years (on the “E” place and Bonanza), and have never had a major problem with merchandise. The rare instances where there was a very slight minor problem, he resolved it quicker than immediately. ALL his merchandise is either new or, if it’s used, it’s checked, tested, repaired, and/or upgraded before it goes in the booth. Have to contact him? Whether it’s email or phone, you get a response almost immediately. Honest, dependable, a seller you can trust, HIGH QUALITY MERCHANDISE AT VERY REASONABLE PRICES. Scott Geare – what you see, and what he says, is what you get!


Larrys_trains says: November 20, 2010

Just came on board Bonanzle and the first seller I came into contact with is Scott. As a former greedBay power seller, I was left out to dry by their new policies. With Scott, I’ve found that integrity is restored in on-line selling and his booth is my #1 site to check for everything HO scale I need! Thanks Scott!


rosanitty says: July 14, 2010

I am a repeat customer of Scott’s from ebay and I followed him here. Scott is simply the most helpful champion of the hobby I have met, and I’ve (no pun intended) modeled my listings, approach, and policies on his. Extra bonus is that he comes up with all kinds of neat stuff that makes me wonder “how’d he ever find this stuff???” Thanks!


Heather3418 says: April 23, 2010

After six years of knowing JS, I believe him to be an honest, sincere, knowledgeable person, with a heart of gold. He truly wants you to succeed in your own e-commerce enterprise here on Bonanzle, so he will go above and beyond, to give you any help and advice you need. All you need to do is ask. He’s always willing to give of his time, to help others. He is also this way with his customers. That’s what makes JS successful in every thing that he attempts. He believes that everyone can be a success if that is what they desire for themselves. He sets those same standards for himself. It shows everyday, in the way he promotes the products he has to sell. Most of all, he enjoys what he does.


carolsherrell says: April 16, 2010

Scott has been a great communicator to the many questions I had for him. He really knows what he is talking about…so don’t hesitate to ask him about any trains you are wanting to learn about. carolsherrell/shoptilidrop4u


Paceset9999 says: April 05, 2010

jsgeare is a wonderful asset on Bonanzle and always very helpful with model railroading questions.


theGran says: March 19, 2010

Scott is one of the best of the best on Bonanzle, a unique and awesome individual. He never hesitates to give help where needed and contributes inspiration and encouragement to the Bonanzle community.


purpleiris says: February 28, 2010

Scott is such a wonderful asset to Bonanzle and its community of sellers and buyers. He selflessly shares his wealth of knowledge to help his fellow sellers succeed and always extends a supportive hand when one is needed. Scott loves trains and knows everything he needs to know about them (and then some). He gladly shares this knowledge with customers so they are well informed about the items he sells before they buy them. Bonanzle couldn’t ask for a better member.


Alilbirdy2 says: February 21, 2010

JS, is very helpful on the forums and very knowledgeable on tehcie things. He is a great asset to Bonanzle buyers and sellers.


bonzbuyer_203247 says: February 19, 2010

Cannot say enough Good things about Scott. Met him first a year ago in YahooHOyardsales. Now we stay in almost daily contact. He supports our Module Ho Railroad club in Southern Califoria, as we support Scott.
If Meg Whitman (CEO of eBay) can run for Governor of California, Then Scott can run for President. As current Vice President of the High Desert Modular Railroad Club, He has MY VOTE (X).


orangetrainman says: January 01, 2010

i just wanted to add my good word about Scott he is a very “standup” guy and stands behind everything he sels he is great and I will continue to buy from him his “stuff” is great


tdurbin says: December 16, 2009

Amazing Seller, stand up guy. Backs up what he sells and is willing to help whenever it is needed. 90% of the train stuff I have in my basement has come from Scott, and I will continue to buy from him on a regular basis.


ontariomidland says: December 03, 2009

Scott is a Great asset to the Bonanzle community. he keeps his price’s low.

BeewitchingItems says: November 30, 2009

Scott is so great, if you need help, just ask and he is Johnny on the spot, an asset to Bonanzle. We are so lucky to have someone like him!

RedTagSales says: October 14, 2009

A highly Professional Person in every sence, Scot is not only a Great asset to the Bonanzle community and the kind of person that is only surpassed by his willingness to help his fellow Members of Bonanzle, But also has a Booth full of everything a man or child could desire.
I highly reccomend and Endorse this Seller to everyone.

Steve


angiesjewelry says: October 10, 2009

Scott is a wonderful asset to Bonanzle with his knowledge, help and great opinions !


myshabbichic says: September 21, 2009

Endorsing Scot for taking the time to help others whether it’s in the forums or by setting up Freebies for Bonanzlers wherein he translates tech talk into layman’s terms. Sellers who establish themselves in their communities and who work hard to help their communities grow should always be the first market choice for buyers – these are the folk who are in for the long haul. If you have a question about a purchase six months down the road or want to make another purchase, you can find an established, good online merchant as easy as finding the store down the street. Scot has shown himself to be this type of merchant.


twysp2 says: August 30, 2009

Scott gives to the Bonanzle community in the forums thru has willingness to share information and helpful suggestions to enhance the site. I just finished copying a 10 page freebie on attributes…that’s a start now to learn and do them. thank YOU Scott!


sonsandie1507 says: August 30, 2009

Oh My Gosh What I would have give to have had this information months ago. I really understand all of it but only by trial and error and lots of hard work and time spent redoing everything over and over again.
Scott is a real asset to Bonanzle


Lisas_TX_Treasures says: August 30, 2009

Since my first day on Bonanzle, Scott was right there with genuine help and concern. Check the forums, check his booth, he’s always there to help and in such a wonderful and easy to understand way.

Hats off to you Scott, Thanks!!
