James Frazier just launched a new web site for matchbox collectors 2/12/07

http://www.kollecta.com/ 1/25/08
James is a passionate record collector (not Matchbox) and wrote the site so that it can be used by collectors of all types of items. A close friend is a Matchbox fanatic, and he asked him to put a special Matchbox section of the site together.
The web site offers an online catalogue of Matchbox models from which users can record their personal collections and allows users to track which Matchbox models they: a) own, and b) want to buy
The site matches up different users' 'for sale' lists with 'want lists', making it easier to find potential trades amongst users
Users can
- upload photographs of their collections
- write articles about their collections
- comment and rate each other's collection etc.
- trade items for free with other matchbox collector
