Civic looks really good, man.

@GT HP Nut I'm a experienced eBay seller, but unfortunately, I have very little experience on international sale/shipping.

In the U.S., I lose roughly 12% on fees(eBay + PayPal). When packaging, assume that postal handlers are going to play catch with your package.

Good luck & don't hesitate to ask us any questions!

So with regard to dioramas, don't let your dreams be dreams...

Is that a yes.

:lol:

I would happily take them all if I could... However the McLaren Senna definitely has my attention.

The Mini GT R35s are looking to be around 1200 jpy. That's pretty good for a base price.

MINI GTs are selling here for 10 USD. Hehe.

I'm not totally against the idea of moving to a foreign country, just so I can save a couple of bucks on toy cars.

So despite my constant bashing of the Greenlight 240z Tokyo Torque releases, I bought them last week after seeing some blog photos that made them look good. In person, however, the terribly comical porportions stand out.

Photos were nothing like real-life. Probably why I am not on Tinder (oh, and being married).

How can a diecast company that releases something beautiful like this:

Release such a POS casting like this:

It probably doesn't have great personality, or inner beauty either.

GTboyz · May 14, 2018

Exactly, i have the GT350 Terlingua and it's a beauty. Idk what happened when they do the 240Z

Annnnd the scraps of my Celica and Tacoma Pikes Peaks have found itself a new owner.

A net loss overall, but judging by today's prices, I'm probably getting decent dollar still.

Paypal takes another small chunk off for performing a business transaction as a seller.

It's about 2.6% for me on average. Are you charged more or something?

It just seems like double-dipping, especially when eBay owned Paypal outright.

They're separate now.

I see what you're saying. Even if eBay owned Paypal, Paypal is still an additional service. If Paypal was the only method of payment, it wouldn't then make sense to charge us another service fee.

As much as Paypal is ingrained in the transaction process of eBay, it isn't the only payment option out there. As such, being an optional payment source (despite being most people's primary source), they can arguably charge you a fee because hey- you're using them.

a6m5 · May 16, 2018

To be fair, PayPal is the only payment method most of us see on eBay today, and it was even harder to find other forms of electronic payment method before that. Until recently, I would have agreed that PayPal had the monopoly on most eBay payments(ie, less than thousands or more dollars per transaction). Even today, they still kinda do, though it seems eBay is trying to distance themselves more from PayPal.

SVX · May 16, 2018

I sell a bit of stuff on eBay and I've found the eBay fees themselves more troublesome. Not sure if it's because I'm an international seller, but it's something like 12.5% of my final sale, plus a further fee from PayPal! I don't get the money for like 21 days either, even with it showing as arrived - thanks to rarely anyone actually leaving feedback. :irked:

I found and bought this interesting error the other day.

Makes me wish they had a version of this casting without a spoiler.

Missing parts are one of the funnest errors to find.

Dayum you are going all out with Tarmacs. When do you plan on doing unboxing videos, dude?!

a6m5 · May 17, 2018

They had new cars at Walmart, but I didn't even know which cars they had out, so I just picked these two up from the top. I was going to give them to my nephews, but I don't know. I love the satin paint job.

Taking pictures alone is tasking enough amirite.

I wanted to see which cars are $THs, coveted JDM cars in the case, etc., but I can't remember them all. They had some white 180SXs, some exotic Porsche cars that looked nice, but I just settled for the Tooned Mustang & blue Miata.

I've seen multiple people raffling off the Supers in that Facebook HW group I used to follow. It is pretty bomb with the red accents.

Correct. With all the commitments in life I don’t have enough spare time to do much. I forced myself to take these photos last night. Only got 4 hours sleep as a result.
