Default Die Cast Website needed

I was watching the Speed channel the other night and saw a commercial about a website that advertised Die Casts and they said they had low prices. I also think it was kind of like an auction site, but not sure. It wasn't one of the big name die cast websites or auction sites.
Anyone know the web address or have any clue of what I am talking about?
Thanks

I know *exactly* the place you're talking about - I saw the same commercial a few months back on Speed myself. To be honest, I don't remember the web address b/c it really wasn't worth remembering. If you can imagine eBay, only 1,000,000x smaller and with text *only*, that's about what this place was like. Not much of interest, either, since I don't collect much NASCAR 1/24 stuff, NHRA, or "tunerz" models...

It may have been Motorsports Marketing aka http://www.gomotorsports.com and http://www.gomotorbids.com/ . They do advertise heavily but I'm not reccomending them.

I've dealt with them a few times....no problems. In fact, I just won an auction on a 1969 Penske/Donohue Lola coupe.

Their big claim to fame is that they own everything they sell. You are always dealing directly with them. Also, they never have a reserve.

I have not bought anything from them.
