Watch out for price inflation at Jakes and others!

I have noticed recently that there are some websites out there that are inflating their prices. For example, they are advertising a "list price" or "retail price" of $169 for a model that actually has a retail price of $149.95, then using the real retail price as a "sale" or "discount" price.

Two websites that I have verified this happening on are www.modelplanes.com and www.jakes-wooden-toys-and-collectibles.com. Feel free to drop them a note about how you feel about their lies.

At www.mikesmodelplanes.com , we never inflate the retail prices advertised on our site. You can easily verify these pricing issues by comparing www.warplanes.com pricing to our pricing and the prices on these sites for the same models. Its pretty easy to figure out.

If you find other sites guilty of the same lies, please report them here or drop me an email and I will put it on here! My email is mike@mikesmodelplanes.com.

Introduction

Well, this is my first blog post ever. Just wanted another way to talk about model planes. www.MikesModelPlanes.com specializes in beautiful, handmade mahogany airplane models. We also have ships, boat and spacecraft models. You can also get other cool stuff like paintings, signed pictures and other collectible stuff, mostly dedicated to aviation.

But we can talk about anything on here I suppose. Of course, the idea is for the chatter to be about model planes and models. I have been thinking about expanding into die cast models and maybe even RC models at some point. What do you all think about that?

Are there any models we offer that you think are especially cool? Any that you have that you'd like to give props to?

Any questions for me?

Well, maybe that will get things started.
