I've got nine of these. http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/store...umber=10011055
I paid $100 for most of them. When they reduced the price to $70, I ran down and bought three more. They are great, glass all around, optional lights, and with three cars per shelf, I get 12 cars in each case.
You can park three next to each other, and it looks like one cabinet. Hey, they are down to $60 now. I should go buy more, but my wife would be p!!sed.

Worth the drive. The package is heavy, but very flat. You could fit quite a few in the back of a pickup or van.
I thought Richmond was in Virginia... the once capital of the Confederacy...

I knew it was in Virginia somewhere. I fly into Dulles and do business mostly in the DC area. I used to visit friends near Potomac Mill shopping center. Never made it to Richmond.

Anyone try making their own display cases??? My neighbour claims TLC or Discovery had a show (one of those home carpentry/home improvement shows) that had a step by step instruction for making a display case.
