A price you can actually check

An item listed at RM 500 that sits unsold for a year is not worth RM 500. It is worth whatever someone eventually pays for it, and until that happens nobody knows. Most price guides quote asking prices anyway, because asking prices are easy to collect and sale prices are not.

What we actually count

Project64 only counts deals that finished. When a buyer and a seller both confirm that the item and the cash changed hands, that price becomes a datapoint. Nothing else does — no scraped listings, no auction watch counts, no vibes.

The trade-off is honest: early on, most castings have no data at all. Rather than paper over that with an invented number, every figure on the site carries a confidence rating and says where it came from. A valuation built on two sales is labelled as a valuation built on two sales.

Cash on delivery, and nothing else

Project64 never touches money. Deals settle in cash — in person at a meetup, or with the courier on delivery. That is how the hobby already works here, and adding a payment rail would mean holding funds, handling disputes, and charging for the privilege.

What the platform does own is the record: what was promised, at what price, and whether both sides agreed it completed. That record is what makes the market data possible.

The catalog is shared

One entry per casting, used by everyone. That is what lets ten collectors’ sales pool into one credible median instead of scattering across ten slightly different spellings of the same car. When something isn’t catalogued yet, you can still log it as free text and a curator reconciles it later — your item links up automatically when they do.
