About Us:

The love of automobiles led us to start our involvement in this hobby....

Eight years ago, we became purchasers/investors in rare, high quality, die cast cars. Now, after eight years of buying thousands of rare pieces this is our first attempt to offer some of our acquisitions to other collectors worldwide.

RARE, BUT NOT PERFECT’s mission statement : To offer the rarest and most aesthetically pleasing die cast replicas of the most remarkable automobiles ever made.

Our organization is dedicated to the “car guy” that loves what these historical cars represent: the power of human ingenuity, sculpted into an art form.

Most of our offerings are relatively rare die cast replicas of the greatest cars ever built.

Many of our offerings are rare and long “out of production” (meaning these models are not being produced any more).

All of our offerings are previously owned models, and not delivered in perfect inner or outer boxes... Thus, making our offerings usually “rare, but not perfect,” as our name implies.

Enjoy these miniature reproductions of some of the world’s greatest automobiles as a reminder that life is good, but not perfect.

Rare, but Not Perfect stands behind every item we sell. We strive for Five Star Feedback (the “life blood” for sellers on EBay). If you acquire a replica from us, would be so kind as to exchange positive feedback for five star ratings...to help with each other confirm that we are worthy of our EBay privileges?

Asking our patrons for help and tolerance:

This hobby we love centers around fragile artifacts (scale model cars) that are just a little more sophisticated than the ones we admired as kids! ...We, at Rare, But Not Perfect, take the time to carefully pack each and every order.

Have fun and enjoy this great car hobby.
