Back in 1995 I started Noticing that a few diecast model cars were showing up at in the Sears Catalog..So I did some researching, and there were a lot of different diecast companies starting to make dealer only diecast model cars and trucks....I contacted the state got my business license and tax number exc to open up a diecast racing collectable business..Which at the time NASCAR, NHRA, were getting popular with the fans, and they were just yelling for replicas of their favorite drivers and cars...So with the help of my ex wife who loaned me $300, I bought a few items (Just getting my feet wet), ran a classified ad in my local news paper, and boom was getting people calling and buying these diecast cars, straight from comforts of my home...lol...So with a un used finished basement with storage, I set up a showroom overtime, and people would come by on appointment only and started by racing diecast as my inventory grew...With the evolution of eBay is when things really took off, and I built my own personal website, I was shipping cars all over the world!...Now here is the sad part, as companies like Action, RCCA, Racing Champions so this big demand, they were flooding the market with high production numbers of each driver, which of course kept values really down, if not sinking...In 2000 I sold all my inventory to a man that started a brick and mortar collectable store, as I saw the crash of diecast racing collectables coming. I took a break for about 10 years, and when the surge of Muscle cars, Exotics, Trucks, Construction equipment and so on gaining in popularity I started selling online again...Now with lessons learned, companies like Autoworld, Greenlight, and a few others started keeping production runs down low...For example most Autoworld 1/18 cars are 1200 or less on production run, which keeps the value up for the collector!....So to bring this to a end I see no reason the diecast model industry willl be slowing down soon, cause all manufactures or should say most are keeping numbers reasonably low...One last thing, when you purchase from me, you can expect a very easy and quick turn around from payment to shipment...I believe in getting your item out to you fast and safe...I hope you will have faith in me and my products and purchase, and become regular customers as your diecast collection grows......My name is Jim, lets get the diecast models headed your way!!
