Scrolling through eBay late one night this past week, I came across this Brooklin, which I had never seen and didn’t even know existed, for $95 "Buy It Now". I bought it on the spot, then did a little research and found it was one of a very limited edition of only 350. 

It arrived today in perfect condition and although old tech, and erroneous in the rendition of the two-tone paint scheme, I think it looks fantastic in the color combo!

What makes them even more enjoyable to appreciate today is that Minimarque captured all four in gloriously detailed scale models. These are not just miniature cars; they are thoughtful tributes to some of the most beautiful and significant American automobiles ever built. From the sweeping fenders to the distinctive proportions and elegant coachwork, Minimarque managed to preserve the character of each original in miniature form.

That achievement would be impressive at any time, but it is even more remarkable when you consider these models are now almost 30 years old. Their level of detail, presence, and fidelity still stand out today, which says as much about the quality of the models as it does about the timeless appeal of the cars themselves. In both full size and scale, these four classics remain unforgettable.

As a dealer, here is the bill I received a few days ago for the recent shipment from Stamp/GLM:

Just as it says, they will not deliver my packages until the tariff is paid. If I fail to pay the tariff within a short window, they will simply destroy the shipment. Since this extortion started in 2025, I have paid over $10,000 in tariffs, which is a LOT of money for a small business. I have had to raise prices to cover a portion of the tariffs, but if I raised my prices enough to cover ALL of the tariffs, I wouldn't sell anything. Even if I DO get all of my tariff money refunded at some point (which may or may not ever happen), it will not even BEGIN to cover the money I lost in 2025. Not even close. Sales were way down as you can imagine, but the profit margin for the sales I DID make was also down. I am one of the lucky ones that I was able to survive; many other small businesses were not so lucky.

Consumers are rightly outraged that they will not be receiving refunds from the government or from businesses on the higher prices they paid in 2025, but that will never happen. Most of the big companies will happily keep your money because they are run by complicit sociopaths that will never have enough money to make them happy, while most medium to small businesses have simply lost so much money already that sending out refunds will only deepen their losses and possibly lead to their bankruptcy.

To add insult to injury, tariff refunds will not just happen automatically. Importers need to jump through a million bureaucratic hoops with the CBP and wait for months to see if their refunds are "approved".

I am posting this not for sympathy; many other small businesses have it a lot worse than I do. I just feel the need to underscore the continued and blatant corruption that we US citizens are all being victimized by on a daily basis. And to explain why prices on everything we buy are not going to go down anytime soon. The fight is not over, we still have a lot to do. This problem is not going to go away on its own. We all need to continue to loudly declare that we do not accept this extortion. Silence is complicity!
