Okay, maybe it's just me, but I get frustrated when I go to the Auction to check for 1:24 cars that I might be interested in, and there are 22 NEW listings, BUT they are ALL "Paperwork Only" for cars.

Just my opinion here, but I think they should ALL be listed in ONE post and to contact the seller if interested.

Have to admit - I was excited...for a minute. Bob Kaempf is a class guy and if he's willing...

... to pay the commission to sell that paperwork on D4C...mor power to him.
And it helps keep the D4C website afloat for all of us.
It is part of the hobby too.

Because there is seldom electronic payment methods included with D4C auction listings

I am prevented from taking part so my go to venue is ebay.
The situation George describes is particularly bad there especially if a "lowest price" search is chosen as an option. Pages and pages of DM & FM paper work to scroll through. It's not that these can be avoided either because often there are some actual models listed with an opening bid of a dollar. That places these amongst the sea of paper war so there is no avoiding this stuff.
Thank yourself fortunate, George that the inconvenience you experience is only minor by comparison.

Bruce, we all have our grievances. I have only done one transaction on eBay, and since I've been bombarded almost daily with emails about additional items I might be interested in. As for payment options, I do not care to use electronic methods to pay for what I buy.

I've purchased over 20 models on the D4C Auction site, and I've had quality transactions in every one of them. I will NOT use PAY PAL, so if that is all a seller will except, then we won't/don't do business.

I check the D4C Auction on a daily basis and I'm always excited when there are new listings. I'm not always interested in all of them, but having purchased over 20 models on the site, naturally I'm looking for more.

With the viewing today of "22 NEW LISTINGS", I only expressed my dismay in that they were NOT models for sale, but rather Brochures. To which, I feel they could have all been listed in one posting. I've nothing personal against the member who is selling the brochures whatsoever.

Strangely, George and in comparison, I used up my last Check paying for a repair to a guitar amplifier. The repair guy was an old school traditionalist who accepted only cash and checks. It's been ten years since then and I doubt that it's even possible for my bank to even provide a checking service these days.
Some folk have concerns over security using electronic banking and payments and that concern must be respected as long as paper alternatives continue to be available. Eventually though, even cash will become a payment of the past, replaced by digital currency like bitcoin. But by then we will all be paying debts with small slices of our souls.

I only used Pay Pal one time. Didn't get the item I ordered and didn't get my money back. Not a fan
