THIS IS THE EMAIL I GOT FROM BAD CAT: The constant emails, numerous postings across the Internet, hostile blog posts--this is the very reason that the manufacturers keep all the hobbists in the dark. The Chinese will not have a direct confrontation with you, nor will they cave into demands from peo...

Ouch! How disappointing from the seller's perspective. That aircraft is far more valuable than that. Someone got a steal of a deal and eBay/Paypal made all the money.

We've just received our first, large consignment from a member of this board! The process of posting this valuable collection has just begun!! Stay-tuned to our Private Reserve Section over the coming weeks as we chip away at putting everything in this massive consignment for sale.

One question though, in calculating the amount that BCA and the seller splits, do you add up all costs (cost of shipping product to BCA included) and deduct these from the final price? I'm just curious as to how you handle the cost of getting the product to BCA. Good question. BCat will chip-in $2-...

The sale prices we garner are normally going to be much higher than the average person who clicks a pic and posts to ebay or in this section. A couple of possibly overlooked facts: 1) When I sell something on eBay my products average about 100 hits per week. But on the powerful BCAT site, the same i...

1:18 Scale Has a Unique Demographic: 50%--Collectors below the poverty level. They collect the biggest toys possible but really shouldn't. 40%--Middle Income or Retired. Discretionary income available for a few luxuries. 10%--Wealthy Professionals. Where do you get your data for this summation ?? I...

Greetings: Since I was called a liar in the last thread I just want to clear this up. I did a little research, in my paypal account, which does not lie. On June 9, 2008, I bought a white Pearl Harbor Zero on ebay and paid with my paypal account. The payment was sent to Bad Cat Toys Inc, it is also ...

Use Pm's to discuss your issues with each other. I don’t have any personal issues with Matt. I’m expressing my opinion on the subject at hand, haven’t called anyone any names and have commented only on the policy BadCat seems to follow with regards to the products they sell to the public. Matt’s re...

Well, Bad Cat’s stance regrading their aircraft exclusives makes sense if you take into account that (1) 1:18 scale is “dead as a doornail” and (2) they’re selling the Sky Captain P-40 for $75 and the Pearl Harbor Special Edition for $125. It’s like the Bruno Bauer “machine gunner” figure on the Pr...

So you didn’t but you would? Hmmm, what? :? Alvaro, you're trying too hard to be an ass . . . as usual. The point you are trying to pervert is pretty simple: I believe the current fair market price of a Hirano Zero to be about $250 in my estimation. Just my opinion. I don't own any pieces at the pr...

Model value is only determined by what a person is willing to pay for it at that particular moment. This is one reason you'll see a 1/18 Zero go for $250 one time and $50 the next. To say that a particular plane has a certain value is nonsense. :wink: Harry At this moment, if you have a mint Hirano...

That's not entirely accurate since they obiviously have some they keep in storage for a rainy day. Not true. We do not own any of the items mentioned in the article. We created, invested and sold them at one time but they are all gone. So I think they have more of an understanding of what the curre...

1:18 Scale Has a Unique Demographic: 50%--Collectors below the poverty level. They collect the biggest toys possible but really shouldn't. They shop price above all else because they have no other choice. Discount stores like Wal Mart help stretch the budget. 40%--Middle Income or Retired. Discretio...

Everyone is correct.

Rob is the BCAT CEO.

Matt is the Customer Service Manager.

Both use this same log-in to post here (normally Rob).

There is a limit on them now. Was that there whay you all ordered? The limit was always there. A limit of two per piece was included in the description of each item from the moment the sale began . We have added this to each title for clarity since some folks may order without reading the descripti...

80 pieces were brought into the USA. This model has been out of production for 2 years. The supply is short and demand is there, that's just the way it is. We priced a rare item accordingly and you bashed us. We lowered the price to give the board a chance at a deal, and you bashed us some more. Sam...

We think the price is steep, too. We complained to our distributor to no avail and stated that comparable 1:32 aircraft are about half this price at wholesale. The Mfr cites, and I believe correctly so, huge increases in Chinese labor prices, fuel and material costs skyrocketing, increased transport...

This is actually the very first F-16 paint scheme initially proposed by BBI. Our original sample was the MJ Falcon but they ended-up substituting for the more popular Wolfpack F-16 when actual full-scale production occurred about three years ago. So my guess is either: 1. Target is displaying an old...

"...the fixed it." ?

Actually, this thread is unfortunate because it seems to be a pretty strong dividing point within our community and also between this community and an e-tailer that has been by far the strongest retail proponent for our hobby. We may not agree on the point of whether Bad Cat did anything wrong by s...

This threads all about entertainment. I hope you guys had fun.

so how does badcat rig these auctions to go for 200$? :? BCAT has never "rigged" any auction. The highest bid is the winner. That's the way it works, for better or worse. It's worth noting that we have many loyal customers who never buy from our webstore. They simply follow our auctions and purchas...

You're wrong Gunner and its called being dishonest. You are not telling customers in your store you don't have a product any longer - when you do - (lying) just to sell it on ebay to get more money. If you or any other retailer does this it is wrong - period. You're not changing my opinion and I'm ...
