The business

What they needed

One artist, Alan, building handmade horror dioramas one at a time, and no home for them outside eBay. The searches that mattered, phrases like Tremors diorama or Halloween shelf display, went to bigger shops.

Most pieces had already sold, and a sold eBay listing is a dead end.

What we built

The build, screen by screen

We built Alan a store of his own. Every build gets a page with its photos, price, build time and full product markup, and a sold piece keeps its page and switches to built to order instead of disappearing. Every film he has built from gets its own page, so collectors can search by movie.

Alan's store is a 90s video store you can walk around in, right in the browser. His dioramas sit on the shelves, and the theater in the back plays them on the big screen. Walk the store

On a phone
  1. The K-OKLA Radio Station diorama page from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 on a laptop and a phone: the lit build photo, a $400 price with free US shipping, ready to ship, and the Buy Now button.

    A page for every piece

    Each of Alan's 42 builds has its own page with every photo, the price, whether it is ready to ship and how long it takes. The page carries full product markup, so search engines can read the price, shipping and returns. Buy Now opens a card checkout on his own site, so the sale does not go through eBay.

  2. Three phone screens: the All Builds page showing 4 ready to ship and 38 built to order out of 42, the sold RoboCop Toxic Waste Emil diorama page, and its Order This Build button with a 4 to 6 week build time.

    Sold pieces keep their page

    When a piece sells its page stays up and switches to built to order, about 4 to 6 weeks. Nothing goes to a dead link, and a collector who finds an old build can still order one like it.

  3. The Browse By Film page on a laptop with film cards for Elm Street, Batman Returns, Child's Play 3, Die Hard, Halloween and more, and two phone screens of the Tremors film page with the Burt's Rec Room build.

    Browse by film

    Every film Alan has built a scene from has its own page, 27 in all. Each one lists the builds from that film and asks for a custom piece from the same movie.

  4. The KollectNoir Customer Reviews page on a laptop with 36 reviews, a 5.0 average, 100% positive and 6 with photos, and a phone showing a buyer's photo review for a Creepshow 2 build with a See this build link.

    Reviews from real buyers

    Buyer feedback from his eBay store sits on its own page, word for word. Each review shows the build it was left for with a link to it, buyer names are shortened, and one button opens his full feedback on eBay.

  5. Four admin screens: the Add a build form, the product list with the K-OKLA Radio Station open for price and stock, a sale with the ship to address, box size and Copy address, Buy postage and Packing slip buttons, and the printed packing slip. Demo data with fake buyers.

    From new build to posted parcel

    Alan adds a build from his phone: photos first, then a few lines, and the site makes the rest. He sets price and stock in one list. When a sale comes in he copies the address, opens postage and prints a packing slip without looking anything up.

The whole build

Buy Now opens a card checkout on his own site, so a sale no longer goes through eBay. Real buyer feedback sits on a reviews page, each review linked to the build it was left for. The site is written for AI tools as well as people: a plain English brief at /llms.txt and the main AI crawlers named and allowed in robots.txt.

Behind it is a back office he runs from his phone: add a build, set price and stock, and turn a sale into a posted parcel with the address, box size and packing slip in one place. And there is a 3D video store to walk around, with his dioramas on the shelves and a theater in the back.
