I got a real low bid on that right now. I also got low bid on the Wheldon car. Not really looking to score them, but every bid equals more $$$ for R1600, so.... :D ***Actually, they've already bumped me up to $50, which was my max bid. It looks like it's gonna go much higher! đź‘Ť

Not sure how high they'll go. I don't go on there looking to make big bucks, that's why I started most of it at retail or just below retail. I let the bidders decide how much they are worth to them. I expect the Initial D cars to skyrocket as well.

Just might make up for the time I missed on the last paycheck. :dopey:
 
I did take one with the sign in the windshield, but the apature is impossible on teh type of camera i have, and ones that due have apature to that level are upwards of 200$ =/
Send me the car and the sign. I'm convinced I can do better than that. So I'm pretty much the worst photographer there is, but I am convinced!

Just bumped it again for you. Good luck my friend. :P
 
RRRGHHH 3.60 is quite expensive indeed. AGH what do I do?

Any idea how much it would be to ship it over to Mexico AND to Texas? An estimate at least.

I won't be going to that mall any time soon. It's pretty damn far away. But I imagine shipping is going to be like $5. I don't know why Canada Post would charge that much for something so small. It's probably due to the time the workers went on strike some years ago.

Ugh, so I'd be looking at about ten bucks for it. And you know what's worse? There isn't a single one in E-Bay. I'll let you know.
 
Guess you're dead set on that car?If it makes you feel any better, I can grab the other Majorettes as well.

Contrary to the sign the cars not for sale, il send you a link so you can print your own , i just colored them in =D
Aside from that . Im proud to say I OWN EVERY 2011 FIRST EDITION, that's harder than finding all supers! * i can buy the whole set tomorrow if you'd like under 150$* Any ways, the ****er sent me the car in a envelope package -.- and the box was slightly bent but hey I paid 11 cents plus 4.99 shiping!

I'd only like the Mercedes SLS. If you can find that one, please grab that and the Megane! Megane! Megane! and I'll paypal you the funds.

Majorette Racing has no SLS to my knowledge. It's all rally cars.
 
My Initial D cars are a bit more popular than I thought they were. :eek:

Holy hell. I was thinking on hitting them but I'm out now, with the dolar-peso ratio screwed up from yesterday to today. And they're still two days off.

I love the Trans Am ornament. đź‘Ť

I have the Acer, Francesco & Lightning McQueen. My nephew's a fan of "Cars", and I thought Francesco car was cute. When they started selling for couple of bucks on sale, I could't resist!

Largest profit margin I ever made on eBay was the 1/24 Initial D Trueno I got at Target for something like five bucks on clearance. Went for over $100. Huge following of that comic apparently.

I bid $60 on that Super Machine, or whatever lot. I got outbid notice email today. I wonder how much it's gone up to! đź‘Ť

Yea i agree, for six years i have wanted them to make a Hot Wheels car of it, but they haven't! Frankly im thinking about making a concept drawing of what it may look like as a Hot Wheels car sometime, maybe i could submit it and they will do it!:sly:

Wish i had that car myself:indiff: I have alot of good ones from 2007-2012. I have a few supers, most of them i found with pure luck:sly: I have pictures of all mine on my profile.:)

Yep i agree:cheers; I believe the X1 will be more likely to be done though.

Ahh, another Escudo lover! That's a good idea to do a sketch of the car and send it to them đź‘Ť. If you do it, are you gonna get a copyright on your design? If they do make the car, you can also earn some money on the side as well.

I though you had the 240Z, but there's alot of them being sold on eBay and on other sites also, keep a good eye on it, and look around in stores that still sell 2011 cars too. It's a nice looking car with a unique racing livery and it's made by Jun Imai (The same guy who did the Hako/Kenmeri Skyline, SA RX-7 and the Datsun BB 510.) :)

I didn't know that it was a real life car. :ouch: I couldn't agree more on the Escudo rally car. đź‘Ť

That 2000GT's sooooo curvy. :embarrassed: And don't get mad, but Toyota Bb/Scion xB's one of my favorite compact!!!!(1st gen)

You too A6?! More people want the Escudo Pikes Peak as a HW car, raise your hands :D!!!

Good luck on the bids for the Speed Machines A6, I see that it went up again. I hope that HW is gonna make them again, they had some interesting cars in the lineup.

I agree, can't beat the lines on a 2000GT. That car has a classy defintion of sexy with those iconic lines, just like the Shelby Daytona Coupe and Ferarri 250 GTO. And I also love the 1st gen XB as well. :)
 
Ben: Here's the link to his auctions.

Vspec: Thanks man, but I already lost on the Speed Machines. :P Still the high bidder on Wheldon, but only because nobody has bid on it yet. :ouch:

Edit: Three car lot of JGTC or whatever they are called(I swear I'm not drunk), I'm the high bidder at $15.50!
 
No idea. I have a bunch of extra cars I didn't post on eBay that I'll give you guys a crack at first. I'll try and get a picture up tonight, then we can work something out.
 
That Speed Machine lot is so tempting. I thought you'd have 'em all but it looks like you're missing a few. :P

Yea i talked to my mom about it and yea i agree with you! I probly will get it copyrighted if i can and if Hot Wheels does it, im sure i will make alot of money off it

Surfing E-bay for, you know, er, chekoslovakian hipos, I stumbled upon this little lot:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Wheels-...859?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c92824f3

It's one of those "buy these cars blind" deals, but I was checking out the pictures and when I put my mouse in the second picture of the lower row, this appeared:

$%28KGrHqRHJB!E+OFPloPmBP3ekIoShQ~~60_35.JPG


I found it incredibly, incredibly familiar. Why? Because that's my picture. I took it several years ago, it's the big box where I used to store my cars when they still fit there. Here it is off my Photobucket account.

The dirty son of a **** used my picture in his auction, without my permission, of course. I'm betting each and every picture he used in his auction is taken off other peopleÂżs collections or auctions. Hell, just look at those redlines.

I found this amusing and disturbing at the same time. And I supose there's nothing I can do about it?
 
So he's selling cars he doesn't have, or the person who buys the lot will get cars that are not in the photo. You might be able to report him, not sure what'll happen though.
