So as most of you know, I've had an ebay store for a while. Over 12 years actually. After moving to Phoenix, I came across some pretty big collections. Due to the lack of space I had to double the amount of kits that I was trying to sell every week. So with that being said, ebay took a huge chunk of it every month. The last few months, I've been looking into other options. These last two weeks I've been away from no,e so no bench time. It did give me the time to pull the trigger and invest in a stand alone shop on the internet. The design is ready. I just need to get back home and add the inventory. I hope that you all will join me in this venture and stop by from time to time, even if it's just to window shop. I'm still looking at options for international shipping but if you see something you like when I open it reach out to me and we can try to work something out. At this point I'm planning to open mid September. Until then you can stop by and sign up to be notified when I go live. I'm going all in so I hope it all works out. Currently have kits listed here>>>> Ebay storeNew store coming soon>>>> IceManCollections.com |

My friend gets 4 kits, tightly packed , delivered to Tasmania, ( 10 mins from me) for about $40 postage, yet others want that for 1 kit. |

I suppose ya always got to ask 'how much shipping' ... just to be safe. |

Sounds good to me, good luck with the shop ! !
Are you just selling kits, or are you going to stock resin detail parts, photoetch, etc ? ?
It would be handy cos I could order a kit and stuff the extra parts in the same box ! !
If I'm gonna order from the UK i might as well make it worthwhile eh !

I know how shipping overseas sometime kills the idea of ordering anything. Trust me that I want to make it fair for everyone around so I'm looking for ideas that will work all around. I will also be stocking resin parts. Some I cast, some one off I find during collections. Also in talk to get some known companies to provide their products. I've,contacted, MCG, Detail Masters, Clearly Scale and a few smaller size casters. We'll see what turns out. |

I’ve been neglecting the forum a little bit. I have t even had a chance to work on my Ranchero but I think it’s for a good cause.
The store is now open. If you guys decide to buy anything use the 10% off discount I created ICEMAN10%
Thanks.
