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. Send to: The Diecast Zone 16 Walker Way, Suite 4 Albany, New York 12205 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.

I seem to get all the way through the $25.00 sign up at Legacy and even get an order number, but it says the transaction cannot go through on my debit card. I am not sure how to get my membership payment through to them.
