Introduction
ToyMart is a site dedicated to collectable toys and models.
We provide an extensive free price guide and collection management functions.
Every price guide listing has its own page with:
- Information about the item and its value
- Picture Gallery (Vote on your favourite)

- Members "Wanted" listings for this item.
In short every listing page is a complete market place for that single item, allowing users to buy, sell, find and discuss that particular model/toy.

The database listings are the heart of the ToyMart site. Each listing page is dedicated to a particluar toy or model or variation of a toy or model. So for instance if a model was produced in red and in yellow there will be one listing page for each colour. Each listing page has:
- Details about the toy/model
- Price guide for mint and worn examples
- Picture Gallery
- Item specific search results from eBay, Google and ToyMart advertisers
- Links to ToyMart features
Our database of listings is continually being expanded and improved by ourselves, but it is a big job and we appreciate any help we can get from our site users. To this end we reward users who help improve and expand our database listings. Rewards come in the form of credits.
Create a New Database Listing
New database listings should only be created if there is no existing listing for that particular toy or model.

To create a new listing simple fill in the form following the instructions on the left. Always fill in as much of the form as possible but if you are not sure do not guess.
Once you have submitted your new listing a moderator will review it and then if suitable add it to the ToyMart database. Credits will be earned for all accepted submissions. Some of the main reasons why a new listing will not be accepted are:
- Duplicate of existing listing
- Insufficient information
- Inaccurate information
- Copywrite infringement (use only your own words and pictures)
The moderators decision is final and cannot be negotiated.
