Diecast Detective

Diecast Detective is an Australian online resource for collectors of diecast and scale models, combining a price guide with tools to manage and understand a collection. Its valuations draw on independently tracked, verified sales, with more than 128,000 sales and 19,000 models represented in the database. Collectors can search for specific models, browse categories and review details such as recent prices, price history, condition and rarity.

Members can create a virtual collection, track its estimated value as market sales change, and use a Total Insurance Value tool to help assess coverage needs. The site is free to join and says no credit card is required. It also publishes expert analysis on model rarity, value and collectability, alongside featured models and regular additions to its catalogue. Listings span a wide range of manufacturers, scales and subjects, including Australian touring cars, road cars, racing vehicles and international marques. Diecast Detective presents itself as a resource for researching, valuing and protecting a model collection, while sharing information with Australia’s diecast community.
