Guys what is your opinion on all of the auction listings for non FM and DM models such as Action, Revell, Hasboro etc to name a few?

Personally I do not like it because I have no interest in those models but I also understand the money they generate, if they sell, is probably needed.

Your thoughts?

Rich, I Agree With You

I would rather see this site limited to
DM, FM, WCPD etc.

I am also not familiar with these other
Brands, and would prefer to stick with the
Higher quality products.

However, if these other products help this
Site prosper financially, then it's fine with me.

I own a lot on Non-mainstream Cars

I have a lot of First Gear--Johnny Lightening--Matchbox--Burrago and Maisto I am a bit picky on what i buy but what i own displays well and complements my Danbury,Franklin and CMC Mint cars People all have different tastes that is what makes collecting such fun and if the sales help D4C than that's even better

There is an "Under $50" catagory for cars like these - if you go to the top of the Auction page, there are two pull downs called "View Items" and "Post items" that show all of the auction catagories available.

They are not for my collecting taste, so I just ignore them. I guess my only frustration is that

I'll go to the auction page and see that a huge number of cars have been added, and then I'm disappointed that they are anything but DM, FM, or WCPD. But alas, I just move on.

Apparently this is not being used as there is nothing listed under $50 but yet most of these are.

I'm fine with it. Anything that keeps 1:24s going works for me. Besides...

...you don't have to spend big money to get a nice 1:24. CP, CM (1:20), M2, First Gear...and 'yes' Action Racing are proving it....and I own quite a few of each of these mfg's.
I don't have any interest in what's currently posted; but, that'll change I'm sure.

And let's remember the Mints quit on 1:24....but, I haven't.

It's much like some of the posts ......

If I have no interest in the subject line I don't bother to read what's posted or interact or comment on it. Same with the 1:24th for sale. My main focus is 1:24th scale and PRECISION models. That said when I look at the auctions it clearly shows the brand, so if it's not FM, CMC, DM, GMP, Ebbro, etc. I generally don't even see WHAT make or model is listed as I have no interest in the lesser quality models for the most part. I do, however have several in my collection to fill voids. Maisto Challenger, Yatming Continental and Fire Engine to name a few etc.. Nice models for what they are especially the Yatmings!

Pass on those with no interest. If it helps the D4C all the better.

I hear ya Dave! What I love is when items go unsold and the seller re-lists

But keeps INCREASING the price each time! What kind of strategy is that??????? LOL
