GBHOBBY DB Toy Peddle SUCKS PLEASE READ if you are a Toy Peddler member being held-up by Christian Braun and his crap hobbydb site. Many many people I've talked to can't figure out his new site and flat out don't want to cause it SUCKS, anyway he has completely changed what members signed up for and bought selling credits to list. Now he completely ruins the site and refuses to allow anyone any sort of a refund... personally I asked for 1/2. Needless to say being a collector/trader/seller it really rubs me the wrong way that this spoiled rich guy is basically screwing everyone out of their money. Hopefully there is a lawyer/collector out there or someone who can get a class action lawsuit against this clown!! At the very least! Please feel free to reply how he screwed you over.. #boycotthobbydb #hotwheels #hotwheelscollector #hwc #hobbydb #toypeddler #diecast #toys #hwrlc #playdayscollectibles #diecast_daily #collectibles #collection #collector #mattel #matchboxcollector #redlineclub #greenlight #tomica #japanhotwheels #malaysiahotwheels #malaysiahws #scandalous #crookedkingdom #losangeles #ripoff #scamalert #ministry.of.diecast #mattelcreations #hotwheelsoffical

GBThey had a fraudulent listing and wouldn’t refund my money I paid for an expensive item and didn’t receive it. The seller communication was mostly non existent except when they said that the listing I bought from went out of stock months ago and I shouldn’t have been able to pay for it and it they said it was the websites fault. Keep in mind this item was supposed to ship two days after purchase and it took about 20 for me to hear from the seller after I tried to reach out to both customer service and them. The customer service kept coming up with excuses why I can’t get my refund from them and they had me jump through many hoops. Keep in mind I wasn’t getting the item and they had a lot of my money. One of the support staff, Christian, even belittled me while they still had my money. I have reported to my bank and am contesting there theft of my money and I reported them to the Better Business Bureau in hopes to get my money that they kept from me under a listing that they had no item for. Please save yourself the stress, money, and time and go to a reputable website because all they had to do was refund my money for an item I was never going to get (apparently) and they haven’t as of the moment I’m writing this.

GBExcellent place to not only database my… Excellent place to not only database my various collections, but a place to keep score of the individual and total price of everything I have collected. Updates my total value frequently. Haven't had a chance to buy or sell within the site over the last 4yrs I have been a member, but from browsing it looks very fair and easy to navigate.

GBNew & Improved TTP - Not so much As a 15 year plus member on the original Toy Peddler, that had become a great site for selling and buying diecast. Fortunately when the migration to Hobbydb happened I was not in the position of having a ton of sellers credits banked (maybe $50), so losing those in exchange for no fees on Hobbydb wasn't a huge issue. What IS a huge issue is the fact that Hobbydb is not remotely user friendly, and trying to use the search function (as a seller or buyer) is a painful process at best. Gone are the days of scrolling through a members specific category listings and purchasing as you can no longer easily find those listings. Looking at member profiles, people with 25000 plus sales on the previous site now have 25. So traffic that's actually purchasing is WAY down from the previous version. Add to that multiple site downtimes/glitches and slow page loading as you scroll through an endless mass of pictures. I can appreciate that there may have been issues we as end users didn't see with the old site, but the "improvements" made to the back-end side of the new site have pretty much ruined the customer experience on the front-end.
