jaymcminn Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 http://www.ebay.com/itm/IMR-2014-Limited-Edition-1-24-Scale-Passenger-1-for-Tamiya-or-similar-/161437750026?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item259670930a I don't get this. Is this a thing now? This is more than I pay to register my 1:1 car, and I get cool plates with a shark on them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Creative Explorer Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Let me see, I;ve got probably more than 100 built models, times 20 dollars for the fee is about 2,000 dollars on registration fees. Not even thinking of the yet to be built 300+ models I have laying around. Naah, doesn't sound that appealing. I quess I stick with printing my own licenseplates....

chunkypeanutbutter Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 And it doesn't even look like a real state license plate. I could get some decal paper and do this myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 You'll notice, nobody bid on one of them. My prediction is, that's the way it will remain. I'm not a betting man, but if I were going to...... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 That's got to be one of dumbest things I've seen in while. Like I could care less. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Battista Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I can't believe someone spent that much time creating that product and website....! What a waste....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 You see some really ridiculous things on ebay. The other day, while surfing the site, I happened upon someone who was "Trying" to sell kit parts. He had at least a few that I just couldn't believe. The one that stands out the most was a set of four pretty much generic mid 60s AMT narrow white wall tires with a "buy it now" price of $24.99! I almost soiled myself from laughing so hard!

jaymcminn Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Maybe if you don't get the plates and you take your model to a show you'll get a 1/24 scale ticket for improper registration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Notice there were no bids? Why would anyone pay this guy a dime when you can create your own plate decals any time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbwelda Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 there is a long time, well proven maxim in advertising: No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of their market. perhaps that applies here. jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Now they need that annoying dingy noise generator for models when you open the door. Working scale radios, ignitions that turn, and when you don't pay your model insurance a miniature towtruck comes along and repossesses it for Revell.

om617 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Nothing shock me anymore on that site,well beside someone did try auction genuine Holocaust prisoner uniforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Cohen Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 It almost has scam written on it However, as P.T.Barnum once said, 'there's a sucker born every minute', so somewhere someone will buy the first registration and think it is really something special. I think it's a load of manure Now, everyone go to their computer and make your own plates for all your models. Make your own design and your own set of numbers and a proper registration list so you know all your models are yours. Don't forget to charge yourself and pay your bill promptly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathgoblin Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I just don't see the point. An international model registry? While I am quite fond of my models, I dont think they need international tracking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Of course I agree with everyone here. No need to register your models with this clown. But ya never know... back about 15 years ago there were people saying, "Nobody would ever auction bid for Pez dispensers!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Creative Explorer Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 No matter how much I looked on that site, there is no information found whatsoever about who owns it, in which place it is or if it is even registrated at the chamber of commerce.

All the way to the bank would be my guess. The world is full of fools, & there's another born every second. I guess if I had no morals, I'd do the same.
