I've always been very happy with the service I've gotten from Cincyslots, SlotCarPlace, and SCW -- top notch every time! They ship cars faster (2-3
days) than I ever need to get them. It's no biggie 99% of the time if I get a car in 2 weeks, or 3 weeks, it just doesn't matter -- so hearing
'never again' because delivery is taking nearly a week makes me wonder "how impatient are we for our toys?" If I get impatient enough to
spend an extra 8 bucks per car, at the rate I buy cars, my impatience would cost me a very nice Fly car every month, or close to 20 Slot.Its a year. So eBay
is still an option for me....

I agree with you Kurt. I can wait if I saved $20 buying a Fly car on e-bay. Which is how I have bought a lot of my Fly cars. Professor Motor, Cincy Slot,
Fantasy World, SlotCarPlace, Oak Ridge Hobbys etc. usually I have my car in 2-5 days. Can't beat that.

Agree with some of the others. Brian at BRS Hobbies is unfailingly great to deal with, offers great service, good products, and fast shipping.

I typically only buy cars on ebay that I can't find at the online retailers. For instance the Jagermiester March 761. However, I have been known to sell
a few so I'm glad somebody still buys on ebay. As far as sponsors on this site, I've purchased way too many lately from Gene at Slot Car Place.
It's just hard to beat the price and service combination.

I'm with Jay, I typically only buy cars online that are out of production and not available in the stores. I have bought lots of Fly Classics that way,
back a few years ago when you could get a deal on a car. Nowadays, bargains are hard to come by, and the ebay seems to be clogged with people trying to sell
current cars at higher prices than the LHS or reputable on-line retailers. I am fortunate enough to live 20 minutes away from Professor Motor, and not far from
two other LHS that sell a few bucks below MSRP, so most current cars aren't hard to get. I still cruise ebay looking for hard to find additions or
bargains, but rarely buy that way any longer.
