Well good luck
đź‘Ť If you can find a place that sells them older hot wheels, you may find one.Yea since that is one i have had that one for a long time and it was very roughed up, i thought i would get a new one.
Personally i don't understand how ya'll think $5 is over paying because that vehicle dates all the back to 1984 and about every car i see from that long ago is usually worth a pretty good amount.
Well thats worthy enough if you ask me
You really can't find cars of that age or older for a small buck now adays. Believe it or not i read that yellow Miata i posted earlier with the pink interior goes or about $5. (on average)
Yep that is true, any old red lines are always worth a huge price. As a matter of fact when i went to buy that Thunderbird, there were a bunch of them old red lines there and they were pretty pricey!
Im talking ones all the way back from 1968! I imagine collectors love olf red lines.
Yea i know, i have had a dishonest salesman before, told me his red sho stopper was over 20 years old but i knew that wasn't true.What someone is selling something for is not always what it's worth.
That's why it's good to be "in the know" on values so you don't get suckered into paying too much for something. If they won't budge on price, well then they don't deserve the sale.
I doubt my redlines would be worth any more than $10 in their condition.
The man i seen selling them redlines, well he did "budge" on his prices He offered a smaller price on any vehicle i asked about. Bottom line, to conclude this, different people have different results.
I wouldn't sweat it. Peep's gotten on me about how I've "overpaid" for certain cars before, but 1) It was the best possible price I found, and 2) in time frame that was acceptable to me. Yeah, not all of us are willing to wait over a year to purchase some car. There's been more than one case that car I was too cheap to pay the full price on eBay has since gone up about another 50% or higher, and are no longer in reasonable price range, or in reach.
Very true about eBay, but I think that's when things like time frame comes into play, also indeed your purchasing power that comes from the quantity, or the larger size of the lots. I don't want to take away your eBay-savvy either. You actually know a thing or two about this hobby, and obviously are more experienced trader.
You, like, made your point already last week.
I can't wait to see what you got coming!
childhood car coming in via eBay. Most money I've paid for a single car so far!
My preference is red, but I like yellow & black about the same.... also white. On this particular Countach, seller accepted my best offer of $1.50(+$2.50 shipping), so I went with it.@a6m5 i seen a yellow version of that countach just recently
Yeah, this car comes & goes on eBay. Some week, there will be handful to choose from, while some week, they don't have one.Gosh this thread moves fast...
Cool to hear that you're finding your childhood cars, a6m5! Always a fun, but at the same time frustrating job. Also jelly over the Bentley...still...
I've seen this car go for a much, much higher than I've paid, but I have to warn you guys, it will bore you to death. What can I say, it is one of the two earliest toy cars in my memory.
