i'm making a new fresh thread for good diecast websites. i know that they made one like back in 01 but i want to make a fresh one because more sites could've started since then and some could've gone out of buisiness. so what i will do is that everytime you guys give me one site either from post or pm i will list it in alphabetical order in this first post of this thread. only two rules: keep this thread on topic! i don't want this thread locked like the others and two do not mention exoticar. i will also put a little nubmer column next to the website for people that like that website and a number for people that don;t like that website. so lets say that 4 people like diecastmuscle.com and 3 poepl dislike it it would look like this: 4-3. get it? this will help people determine if they like that site or not. i will post one more number evertime you order fromt hat place. so lets say that you ordered from diecastmuscle 3 times and they were good all 3 times it would count as 3 under the liek columb. other than that i will start with:

www.bmwonline.com 1-0
www.collectablediecast.com 1-4
www.diecastmuscle.com
www.diecastnow.com 2-0
www.ebay.com (they have everything!)
AA RC AND DIECAST TOYS FOR BIG BOYS 1-0
advantoy 1-0
diecastmart 3-0
exoto store (don't know exact name but it's like exoto's official store on ebay) 1-0
lrichflrichie
lka504 2-0
us diecast 1-0
www.ewa1.com
www.scale18.com 12-0
www.speednation.com 6-0
www.sportcraftcars.com 2-0

02-14-2006, 06:30 PM
it's been updated but please tell me how many tiems you've dealt with them. like for exapme i dealt w/ diecastmuscle 5 times and 4/5 times they;ve beeen good. so i can do that tally thing. but don't tell me how many times you've dealt with ebay because they arn't actully a store.

G35XAndTrailBlazer
02-14-2006, 07:11 PM
Well, we have dealt with speednation 5 times nad they send us the stuff after about 4 days.

nosliw2004
02-14-2006, 08:10 PM

G35XAndTrailBlazer
02-15-2006, 01:44 PM

They have the best forums anywhere that I know of. Very good and faithful mods. The news section is also the only place I get my release information these days.

c'mon gofato come back! i love your work. so clean. and i have a new idea. since ebay has soo many stores we can do it by a particular store name. such as diecast mart and such like that. we can do stores for ebay but only stores. NO single sellers that just like have one item.

nosliw2004
02-18-2006, 01:03 AM
so all of the names under ebay.com will be the stores on ebay.

^Couldent you just make one post?


Gafoto, welcome back! I plan on checking out that site

nosliw2004
02-18-2006, 12:46 PM
well i first posted then like 6 minutes later i came up with the ebay idea. so someone could've looked in this thread within the 6 minutes. i didnd't want them to miss that ebay info.

G35XAndTrailBlazer

so i ordered 2 cars from ebay/ diecastmart on one transaction. it has shipped like one day after the payment. i used 5-7day shipping and ups is saying it should arrive in 3 days. so i put one more tally for diecastmart/ ebay. they have lots of stuff. if you like to order from ebay i reccomend them. their prices are average>below average.

G35XAndTrailBlazer
02-22-2006, 04:20 PM
I just got two more mdoels of speednation.com. i will give tallies once the cars get here

nosliw2004
02-22-2006, 06:19 PM
one transaction right? cuz i'm doing the tallies by transactions not cars. so if you order 5 cars and they ship the same package it's 1 tally.

G35XAndTrailBlazer
02-22-2006, 07:22 PM
ok yes, its one transaction

nosliw2004
02-22-2006, 07:40 PM

G35XAndTrailBlazer
02-22-2006, 07:44 PM
Well i orderd last night and it usually takes about a week. So, perhapts next week

nosliw2004
02-23-2006, 03:53 AM
okay. yeah my package should arrive today sometime. i already tallied cuz the package is in the hands of ups now. the transaction and them getting rid of the cars was quite fast. once agina this is diecastmart on ebay.

@dicastfan added. who's lka on ebay? like location etc.

diecastfan84
03-04-2006, 11:28 PM
Correction, their user name is lka504 not LKA. I just checked they apparently don't have an ebay store but they do list a lot of diecast items from time to time. I bought twice from them and I'm very satisfied with their models and service both times. Very good seller.

nosliw2004
03-04-2006, 11:59 PM

well, i get most of my cars from three guys on ebay named "diecastmart" and "vs-diecast" and "flrichflrichie" they shipped my cars within about a week.

They live in USA, and i live in Canada

do i have to post the cars i got from them?

proudfordowner
03-10-2006, 06:19 AM
Although i get mine on ebay my brother would highly recomend
www.ewa1.com
that's where he gets his

nosliw2004
03-11-2006, 02:06 PM
well i want to know how many different transactions you have had w/ each one of the sites. so if you bought 2 cars from diecastmart but charged it at the same time that would count as 1 tally.
@la did you mean vs diecast?

www.scale18.com Best Canadian site for Diecast's I've dealt with them 10 times and everytime has been a delightful experience.
However, www.collectablediecast.com is ok, i Guess.
I've dealt with them 4 times and 3 out of the 4 times I've received a broken car. Their only solution is to send me another one with my next order. Which is fine if I want more cars but, i'd rather just send the broken one back and get a proper one. Needless to say I'll probably just stick with Kevin's Hobbies at www.scale18.com. Just tired of getting stuck by the old exchange from the states.

Just my :2cents: worth.

nosliw2004

hey havn't seen youpost here in awhile! so ill mark 10 more tallies for scale18 and 1-4 for collectablediecast.
