Thanks!

Well, I have so many cars now and finally we're settling into our own place so I'd like to have them all displayed so I'm going to check out a place in Scarboro that sells display cabinets to stores and see whether I can find anything that's reasonably price and that will fit well in our house.

Anybody have any experience with http://www.greentradecanada.com?" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;?

Great haul...some rare ones in there.

I picked up these 3 on my way into work...5 minutes from my house. They were listed on Craigslist, no boxes unfortunately, but for $20 each, I'm not complaining. :woot: All in great shape, just need a good detail/polish.

Nice finds Gavin.

I went and picked up that 430 Scuderia so here it is in the flesh. Oh and there was also something called a 288 GTO. Never heard of it, but picked it up anyway. $80 a piece.

Can't believe my luck right now

No way! Did he purchase someone collection!?! You can turn both around right now for some series profit. Anything else there I might be interested in?

Nah are you kidding me, these two I'm keeping! The 288 is a loooong time grail of mine. There are several older autoarts, a Kyosho 512 BBi, a Kyosho F40 (LM I think), Hot Wheels Elite 166 MM, Lusso, Enzo Schumacher edition, FF, a bunch of older Exotos and UTs. Beats eBay, I'll tell you that. I love this store. I regret waiting until now to start visiting in person. It's a bit of a hike for me, but worth it every time.

Yeah there's a stack usually to the left of the desk that isn't priced yet and therefore not up on the website. This stack often sits for a week or longer. A lot of those models never even get put up on the site at all, so it's always the best place to look for deals on some rare pieces.
