The Diecast Zone auctions are running again. The software has been rebuilt, proxy bidding is switched on, and the club has put up five of its own models to start things off — a Danbury Mint split-window Corvette, a Deuce highboy, two 1:64 lots and a Dale Earnhardt set.
The auction side of the site had been dormant, but it is now officially re-launched: bidding now runs eBay-style, much more is now automated, so you can enter the most you are willing to pay and the system bids on your behalf up to that figure rather than making you sit and watch the clock. Members bid; sellers list!
To get the first lots on the board, the club listed five models of its own under The Diecast Zone Auctions. All five ship within the United States for a flat $9.95.
- 1963 Corvette, 1:24, Danbury Mint — the split-window coupe in black, brand new and never displayed. Opens at $25, bids in $5 steps, reserve applies. Ends 21 October.
- 1932 Ford Deuce Highboy, 1:24, Danbury Mint — brand new and mint in box. Opens at $25, $5 steps. Ends 22 October.
- Johnny Lightning Muscle Cars, 1:64 — a lot of four GTOs, all new. Opens at $5, 50-cent steps. Ends 23 October.
- Hot Wheels, 1:64 — a lot of new castings. Opens at $5, 50-cent steps. Ends 23 October.
- Winners Circle, 1:64 — a set of two, Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Opens at $5, 50-cent steps. Ends 24 October.
Selling and bidding is open to members of course. Anyone registered on the Forums can bid. The club takes 10 per cent to suppoer the Zone and the seller keeps 90, which is well under what the big marketplaces like eBay charge. Register to sell as a member of the Zone on the forums first, then apply through the Seller Application page; the Auction Instructions explain the rest. Auctions are United States only for the moment, international will be added later, and each seller sets the shipping charge on their own listings.
