It's not meant to be a contest I'm just sad.

Only item I've sold, a vhtf error, and after shipping and fees I'm $2 in the red.

What a joke. I can't even sell something right.
My Datsun wagons, sold the whole set for half the price I paid for just one of the cars.

Don't be sad. I should be sad. :P
 
I decided to buy my first 5 car pack for the first time in a while. I mainly wanted it since I haven't gotten a Porsche 918 spyder yet. Oh yeah, and I have to say it's great to have Brian's Mk.1 Ford Escort at last along with the Mini & Porsche 911 RSR.


EDIT: Hold on, I'm having problems. For some reason, when I upload a picture on here; it flips the pictures. It's probably in issue with how I took the pictures. I'll fix it.

Here's a blurry pic of the 5 pack though.

EDIT: I got pictures that are sort of better.

Left it in the pegs. Thought the J cases were coming but no dump bin.
 
I bought this Kyosho Ferrari quite some time ago, but it's only today that I took some photos of it.

This time I have to assemble the car myself, although it's not particularly troublesome. One thing worth mentioning is that the wheels roll rather smoothly this time, and I'm rather pleased with that. The screw of the base doesn't fit too well, though, so the car can only be attached loosely to its base. The car also comes with a tiny red screwdriver, albeit it doesn't really fit the screws. But other than that, nothing problematic with the car itself.

So here are the photos.








This will probably be the last Kyosho Minicar I will buy for some time to come, as I'm not really interested in any of the cars produced currently.

More images can be found in my Flickr gallery.
 
You'll forget all about it by tomorrow.

Probably, since I haven't seen anything I'd want to go crazy over. Of course, I havent even logged into E-Bay for months. The dollar-to-peso ratio is just impossible :crazy:
 
Not by a dollar, necessarily. The big picture is that someone was willing to put more on it than I was on the first go. He/she could've had $70 in that bid. Because there was no other competitor, we'll never know. :(

Of course, I havent even logged into E-Bay for months.

That's good! I myself haven't been spending time on eBay since I started work. It's when I get bored enough between class or off time when I get hooked to searching stuff up on shopping sites. Finding the rarer stuff is the activity that keeps me engaged, but there's less care about how much money I'm really putting into it once I tell myself I just have to have it.

Tis a bad thing. I think I'm about at 98% progression to cutting off online shopping for Hot Wheels/Matchbox completely. I think I am ready to settle with no more CM's, forgetting all about TLVs, Greenlights, Auto Worlds, M2, Siku, Welly, Majorette an whatever else there was.

Kyosho I think I can still keep something going with. It's only the Gallardo triple a, 2 more Ferraris and that Porsche Minicar 6 which I'll look into bidding on a few months later when its value depreciates.
 
If anyone has any basic Tomicas they're willing to sell or trade can you please DM me? I'm in need of Tomicas...

I'm almost tempted to photograph and show off my several Japan-made Tomica collection just to piss you off/make your need of Tomicas even more burning.
 
Co-worker came back with:

Nothing.


He meant to go back to the store that had them and look some more but he was just too busy with work and he had to get to the airport at the same time they opened. Oh well, at least I get $50 back. :P

Well, the bad part is that you got nothing new.

On the plus side, no money loss. Therefore, you don't have to be angered over being robbed of $50 on eBay or something... :lol:

That's a shame.

On the bright side, you've now got $50 spending money. :lol:
 
Those M2s are absolutely killer.

Also moving sucks

I haven't seen them before. I was quite thrilled when I saw them. I'm not sure why I like that COE as much as I do, but man oh man is it beautiful.

Yea neither have I. I have a weird liking for old tow trucks so that ones is awesome. COE are just neat period, and the color is amazing.

Moving really really sucks.

Lost my good picture area. Cause we moved.
Cool cars. Glad to finnally have the escort. The mini makes me sad because it no longer opens.
