actually, can i ask how much does 1 model cost ah??
I remember last time i got a friend who told me why spent so much money on these model cars, with the money save up over the years..I could well afford the downpayment of a decent car..Come to think about it, what she said is quite true..
But each his own lah, collecting something that u are interested in certainly is worth every penny.. -

but 1 think for sure, when u buy car, sure depreaciate, but when u invest in models...sure increase in value.
btw, i got abt 5 lambo park in my house. i wonder if those models that i dont buy, can i save up for even i downpayment for 1 lambo???
bro, try to appreiate the art in collectin models. thanks you. -
yea.. for me i collect cos i like cars (mostly lambos) and i cant afford the real thing, so i jus buy the thing that is 2nd realistic to it who knows maybe i will afford a 1:1 scale nxt time
-
i feel that a real car is a depreciating value. cnfrm + chop. esp. in singapore. like what eddy has said, model collecting is an investment. and 1 model costs $100. yes its expensive, but compared to $1k for a cheap 1:1 car every month, its not that ex. and the $1k u spent is a sure goner, whereas the models, once they turn rare, appreciates in value. maybe 1.5 times, or even more.
-
oh yah. of coz some models are damn ex. like $1k or even more. those are strictly for serious collectors.
haha. calvin u dream big dreams. but if u do get it, rem to give me a ride. -
yea collecting model cars can b considered an investment.. but it also depends on wat kind of car or rarity value of it also

Diecast collecting is purely a hobby. You cant mix buying a real car with a hobby.Originally posted by *Lord Kang*:no lah..i never say i don't appreciate collecting this models..i do have so model cars at home..Just thinking what my friend said is also quite true to a certain extent mah..
