Hi folks, has anybody had any dealings with this firm?  https://slotcararchitect.com/

They do NASCAR truck kits which look interesting but I have never heard of the firm before. As it was a link from Facebook and they are South Africa based I wanted to check before sending any money.

   

The third round of our 2026 WHO GT Championship took place on a cold and breezy May evening. Simon has designed a brand new track, which he named Grenwyn after last Thursday's events in Goring...

   

It was a fast track with some tricky sections and included a flyover. It looked rather good, filling the full length of the Barn.

   

Twenty-three drivers were allocated to the six teams, but then Isaac and Kev needed to head home. A quick juggling of line-ups gave us this for the race...

   

But before all that, we had Super Pole qualifying and an incredibly close result...

   

A pair of Bentleys on the front row...

   

All ready for a 600 lap race that would take place in Damp weather conditions.

This is the second time i bought this car, that's how much I like it!  Sadly, when I went to photograph it, I saw the caved in front fender, and the mold lines were prominent.  Just might be the last NSR for me!
   

More info in the Traders section of the group.

Here is a very rare 1/43rd scale Sanwa set from Japan. the cars, controllers, track, etc must be assembled. Only at the slot car museum !

Currently I am selling some cars on eBay. Since I don't want to sell them cheap but for a normal price, they don't sell immediately, I'm not waiting for bargain hunters.. Sometimes I have to offer them again, no big deal I don't need the money but I just have bought way to many cars the last 20 years 

"Now I get this messages from eBay:

Let’s improve your listings

The following listings aren’t performing well, but you can change that. We’ve put together some specific recommendations to boost the chances of selling the properties listed below."

And then they, or better their A.I. come up with following suggestions:

"Add more photos

Add details to the description
Offer free delivery
Reduce processing time"

Add more photos? I make photos of every side of the car and of the front and back of the box. Should I also make a photo of the bottom of the box?
Add details to the description? Apart from model, maker, type number, drives and race the car participated in I need to describe it?
Offer free delivery? Really, so I should loose money on every sale? Maybe eBay should lower there percentage that includes the postage costs?
Reduce processing time? I sent as soon as the buyer pays, maybe I should already sent it while it is still not sold?

I've been selling and buying for more than 25 tears now, and it becomes badder and badder. I don't need their B.S. messages but I can't opt out.

Regretfully eBay is my only option to sell internationally since I don't want a Fartbook account but it really becomes a pain in the a$$.

Every now and again you get a deal!!

This is from FB - came up for sale. Bids were at 72 euros, so I messaged him and asked what did he want!
Came back to me and said 50 euros but I needed to collect. He lives about 60 km from me and I said no issue I would collect. Paid him 50 euros this am!!!

           

Those pics from the advert!

These are on my desk - they need work but no problem

       

Now does anyone have a Prince body they will part with!!

   

We're back at the Barn on Wednesday for the second Nascar night of the year and the first road course of Bulldog era...

   

We've run the track at a couple of test nights without the bus stop chicane, but that will definitely return this time!

Hello, my name is Luiz Valdetaro. I'm new to this board, but not new to the hobby. Been at it since the 60's. I own a very large collection (my personal website is http://valdetaro.com ).

I'm a professional software developer, and have developed an Android App for counting lap times and taking lap times. Works via the camera, no extra hardware needed.
I published it under a "pen name" Gepetto Club.

Highlights:
- from 1 to 8 Lanes
- approximate 1/30 sec precision timing
- works with a single Android device if you want all the functions in one.
- has the ability to network, so you can have 1 phone at the track as a "sensor", another one at the steward's hand to stop / start the race, etc. Each individual racer can have their android device connect to the camera and announce his lap times, etc.
-Can be used in English, Portuguese, French, Spanish, Italian and German. I used AI for that, but for the languages I speak, it looks like a good translation.
- Is free

Thank you!

Luiz
