There'll be a blank space where you can add your name and email and a note to the Club that the dues are for you and for Nickies! They'll know who to credit!By Paypal to club@diecast.org
Thank you Tony....I am on the paypal site now but I don't know nickies real name name, or can I just put 'nickies' in with the payment?
Do you know it and can you reply with it?
thanks again.
What a gentleman you are - thanks for your kindness!

HaHaHa...... Thank you for your joke. I don't need you pay my fees. There is certainly a low income folk here that would appreciate the gesture.Posting members should not be taken in hostage to pay for the maintenance fees of a public website
@JK.....I would like to pay my dues and nickies dues at the same time. I would hate the idea of an elderly man on a fixed income having to eat cat food because he had to pay a $25 fee.
What is the fastest way to pay?
Thank you.
If the moderator has somebody in mind, please let me know.

@bob-jackman Thank you Bob. I have noticed there are very many "class acts" present in this Forum membership, which is one of the main reasons I enjoy it so much every day. You sir are one of them.

Dear Club Members:
The diecast.org site is a custom site that requires maintenance. We used to pay for this maintenance with the Auction commission and fundraisers. We have not had any auction sales for a few years now, and we do not have any money to continue the website maintenance. The website is currently experiencing a critical error and we need to hire IT immediately to keep it up and running. We are implementing an annual $25.00 dues to members now to cover this expense. All members, please send $25.00 USD by Paypal to club@diecast.org. Please include your name and preferred e-mail in the message field when you send your dues.
- E-mail club@diecast.org and request an alternate payment method if you do not have a PayPal account.
Going forward the annual dues will continue to be this very nominal charge of only $25.00. If anyone would also like to make a donation to the club, that would be greatly appreciated. Please send any donations to the same club@diecast.org PayPal address.
We will work to add some perks for the members. Exclusive models and discounts, model giveaways, raffles, etc. The first perk that will be exclusively for Club Members, is a code for 15% off all pre-orders from our retail partners at Mint Models mintmodels.com or Legacy Diecast legacydiecast.com that you will receive after you pay your dues. For almost 30 years, the Club has been the best community for model car collectors, and we all need to keep it going.
Thank you!
The Diecast Zone Model Car Club
We have all heard your concerns about public vs private. The site will be made available to the public for viewing. Only paid members will be able to post and comment.
** Addendum:
To pay by check
Send $25.00 USD and make the check out to The Diecast Zone.

We also just had Legacy create a way to do it on their website for us in case people only want to pay their dues by Credit Card. Link:

Wow, it’s been a long time since I visited. I was a very active member here and have such fond memories. Good to see all these familiar faces and names still here. Sadly, my funds are limited, so I can’t fit $25 into my budget right now. If I can’t post, please know that I’m gonna try to find the funds soon in my budget. Am living off my SS only, so am pretty limited. I would love to get back here and share some of my photos, etc.
Missed you guys and this place!

Patty, I am calling this morning to have your membership registered. I'm guessing they will need your contact information. Please send me your email address to me at robert61jackman@gmail.com. Thanks, Bob

This message was already sent to Patty a few days ago. The generosity and community spirit has been nothing short of amazing here!
Patty,
The Diecast Zone Board has decided to take care of your membership dues from the additional donations received. You are all set!
We are using the dues to fix critical errors that took the site down last week. We also just updated the Diecast Hall of Fame and the FAQ pages on the site. We also fixed the e-mail system. Password reset and more. New members are already signing up again now that the e-mail system has been fixed. New News and a better Car List is coming soon.
We will continue to add perks for the members. Exclusive models and discounts, model giveaways, raffles, etc.
For more than 30 years, the Club has been the best community for model car collectors, and we thank you for your support to keep it going.
Thank you,
The Board

@the-diecast-zone I guess I was a dollar short and a day late. Thank you board members.

My heart is filled with thanks and joy. The Diecast Zone has been such an important part of my life for years, but as life happens, we either drop off for awhile, etc. I cannot express my love and thanks with just mere words to all the wonderful collectors here. You are truly special. I have so many photos still to share from my files, some with the stories behind the model and the photos, to tell. I'll be posting photos in each scale, since I actually have photos of my models (many are no longer in my collection, sadly) in each scale, but mostly 1/18. I have to get used to this new forum set up. Ha!
I am humbled by your love and offer a mere "Thank You" from the bottom of my heart!
