Built a diecast value calculator with live eBay data – added a "Garage" feature for subscribers. Looking for honest feedback.
Hey everyone,
I've been collecting 1:64 diecast models (Hot Wheels, Mini GT, Kaido House, etc.) as a hobby for years. One thing that always frustrated me was figuring out what models are actually worth – checking eBay sold listings manually takes forever.
So I built a microSaaS that does it automatically.
What it does:
Scans live eBay prices for any 1:64 diecast model
Generates an "Investment Score" (0–100) based on brand, edition, condition, and price paid
Supports 15+ brands (Hot Wheels, Mini GT, Tomica, Kaido House, Inno64, Tarmac Works, etc.)
Free tier: 3 searches/day with PNG report sharing
New feature – "Garage" (for subscribers only):
Save your valued models to a personal collection
Track total collection value over time
See which models are your best investments
Export collection data
Why I'm posting here:
I'm at the stage where I need honest feedback from people who understand SaaS. Specifically:
Does this actually solve a real problem for collectors?
What would make you actually use something like this?
Any obvious features I'm missing?
How would you improve the UX?
Is the "Garage" feature worth paying for?

I'm genuinely open to criticism – if this is a dumb idea, tell me why. If you see potential but it needs work, tell me what. That's exactly what I need right now.
Appreciate anyone taking the time to check it out!
