Database update notice

[Jan_V]

I have no words. :(

I've deleted my collection from the database. I can do without all this internet nonsence and still enjoy my hobby.

I have also deleted my collection from the database and have requested by email and message almost 3 weeks ago the deletion of my account and am still waiting. As said in the previous post, no time for nonsense.

What if you use manufacturer pictures instead own photos

Dear Waffle,

I want to express my deep gratitude for the incredible work you've done with the database. As a collector for the past four years, your platform has been instrumental in helping me grow my collection to over 2,000 models. The detailed information you provide has been invaluable, especially the eBay availability feature, which has saved me numerous times by ensuring I never missed out on rare models up for sale.

Even though I haven’t updated my collection on the database recently because I prefer to keep a personal spreadsheet with my own photos, I still rely heavily on your database for various purposes. Whether it’s checking market prices, discovering new models, monitoring availability on eBay, facilitating trades, or keeping an eye on manufacturers, your database is my go-to resource. The email notifications for eBay listings have been a game-changer for me.

I must admit, I wasn’t aware until now that you were the sole person behind all the updates and additions. I originally thought the database was a collaborative effort. Now, understanding the enormous task you've undertaken, I am in complete awe of your dedication. Please know that I am ready to offer my help in any way possible, and I’m sure the community would also rally behind you if assistance is needed.

Furthermore, if a subscription model is introduced, I will definitely support it. Your efforts have made a significant difference in my collecting journey, and I am truly grateful for everything you’ve done.

Thank you again for creating and maintaining such a magnificent tool. Whatever decision you make about the future, you have my full support.

Best regards,

Coolos

And now all the 1:72-scale models are gone. This wonderful database has been reduced to two obscure Herpa models. What a shame.

Thanks for allowing us to use the database for all those years, Michael--it was truly a great help.

Define “obscure” ;-)

But yeah, what’s going on with the scales other than 1:200 and 1:400, waffle? Weren’t they going to stay?

They were until I realized the same people stealing data for those scales were now copying the data for other scales as well.

That’s really sad. :crying:

This is unbelievable that because of one low life, we all have to pay. Now, we cannot update our collections or add anything to our "Want List"... What's the point now? I have tried to contact other collectors to see if they want to sell me some models, but no one is responding now. Very disappointed...
