If you were the seller then I'm sorry you free agrieved but the first rule of ebay is NEVER sell when someone makes an offer as normally it's worth at lot more. If originally you/the seller was happy with the price then there shouldn't be any come back as it was a price that was deemed fair at the time.

And why shouldn't someone try and make a profit to help fund their passion/collection etc in a world where everything costs more. Your comments is like saying 'don't buy from a supermarket as they buy the things cheaper and sell them for more'!!

Is this a typo? or do you want want it to turn into a selling page?

I personally would rather it didn't and we had a seperate page for it.

A typo indeed.

Pointless comment by him to be honest seen as they were already sold. Doesn't matter if I paid £1 or £100, I can do what I like with them.

Figured this is the best place to try and advertise "btcc models". Granted not ideal to advertise loads but the odd 1 or 2, I see no problem.

Personally would like to see some more collections or new models being posted, get this thread back on track as its been kind of dead.

Has anyone else seen that Trax are now advertising a Jason Plato 2010 Cruze on their website for £99.99 supposedly reduced from £119.99 and with the photos of the packaging it looks very much like the model from DS models for £75. There is no indication of the model maker either which is unusual

Pretty sure it is the DS one. Trax can be pretty imaginative when it comes to RRPs... I imagine they've simply struck up a deal with DS to market their product (taking a cut in the process).

Finally! The Corgi BTCC Cavaliers are due out in January... Yipee!

I hope to get my hands on one later this week.

Got my hands on one of these Cavaliers today.

Overall, I'm a bit disappointed with it. With all the resources that Cargi have I am amazed the detail is not as good as it should be.

You decide.

The side windows are massive, the ride height is too high, the wheels are too small, it has a standard road car exhaust and some of the decal are wrong!

Honestly, priced at £20, its exactly what I expected. It seems you get what you pay for. Oxford diecast at £10 a piece, lots of errors/inaccuracies. Spark/Minichamps at anything between £40-60 these days, you should expect a lot better.

Minichamps have announced they are doing the BMW M3 that Will Hoy won the 1991 BTCC with in 1:18 scale!
