Save some for others! :) Which one would you take first? second? I'm just creating a priority listing in case someone else wants one. Note, I think I may have asked the seller to ship loose.




Also, I went ahead and reported that no-show seller. Won a lot of 100 for $13.50, guy doesn't ship and attempts to not make any contact with me in hopes I forget about it. It's wasn't about getting my money back anymore, it was about fulfilling a listing. I can understand if something unexpectedly happens and you can't ship the lot, but you don't go silent until the buyer finally tries to get an answer out of you. Happened to 3 other people already so that's clearly suspicious behaviour.
 
I want the bottom car the most, then the middle, then the top. So, ascending order I guess. :)

Forgetting about 100 cars. :lol:

Wait, you're desperately trying to get rid of hundreds of cars and you're buying them in lots of 100 too? :odd:

See, he used to be normal, but then he started collecting Hot Wheels and logic went out of the window to make room for display cases.

Not that I'd know. :scared:
 
Are you for real, Zac? I was kinda hoping the Vintages would be an incentive to grab more stuff.


Well, more like a "bonus" if you went and grabbed a lot off me. :(

Was going to use it to make some money back in my lots. To put it even more simply, would you rather buy a lot of 100 for $80 or a lot of 140 for $80? Obviously the latter. Don't get technical with that either.
 
Nice Lotus, Andy. Nice. 👍

That's one cool looking Civic, a6. :drool:

Somebody actually placed the first bid, so somebody actually wants it that badly. With shipping, it was nearly $50!

Thanks mate:tup: Magnum looks pretty cool out of the packet with the surfboards, you couldn't really see them in the other pic, my photography skills still need some work:lol:

I had no idea there were boards on top of it. :lol: That is a sweet wagon. 👍

Says the guy who wants to buy the Green Giant bread bun. So yeah, your opinion was invalidated the moment you said that. Also, eew supercars.

*mumble-mumble-mumble* "eew supercars"[/automatic fail]

Come on Cano, who doesn't like supercars!

:lol: Great deal though, considering I paid $25.50 all up for mine.

Yeah I noticed that, did a search and the single ones were all around $20-$25, just had to have, thanks again for the link mate:tup:

Got some eBay stuff delivered today, picked this lot up for $15

and this lot for $20:)
 
Minichamps 1:64 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione:

I recommend not buying a 1:64 from Minichamps, not only they are priced twice as much as Kyoshos, they are not worth the money. Race cars have liveries that can be easily peeled off.

Ah but do they have a selection of cars Kyosho or other high-end brand don't?
 
I like zakyta's second lot. Competizione looks really cool, but the rear looks like the ugliest fish ever. :lol:

I bought cars from this seller in Japan(happens to be the same prefecture I'm from!), and you know how good eBay seller will update you with the tracking information right away? This is likely to cover his ass also, but it also contained a step-by-step photographic record of the packaging process & the actual label:



Hardcore. :lol:

They don't have as plenty of models that Kyosho does. But they do offer an interesting lineup:

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
Alfa Romeo 8C Spider
Porsche 934
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster
Bentley Continental GT
Bentley Brooklands
Porsche Cayman
Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997)
Porsche 911 GT3 RSR (997)
Porsche 911 Carrera S (997 Gen II)
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (997 Gen II)
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabrio (997 Gen II)
Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabrio (997 Gen II)
Fiat 500
Porsche Cayenne S
Porsche Cayenne GTS
Porsche Cayenne Turbo
Aston Martin DBS
Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series


That's all they made so far, and they were released in 2010 and 2011. And they haven't released anything new ever since...

Dude, how much? I've seen several tomica Limited trucks I'd love to own, but the price is always like a reverse slap in the face.

Yegh, talk about lame. Not a single vintage car in their lineup, no race cars, just unintresting and downright bleh cars. Maybe the SLR, but still.

Does this violate eBay policies?


Why... yes it does! This seller is wasting time taking photos when it could've been out the door 30 minutes ago!


I think he must've been through a scam or ran into an incident where the post office opened and took items if he's going through that much trouble.


Cano
Yeah, I'm so lame.

Except the SLR McLaren. Would be boss if they had a Stirling Moss.

If you ship internationally a lot, probably best to cover your ass just in case something happens.

--------------------------

On a side note, got my F&F Mustang in the mail today. :)
 
I was just going to ask you if you ended up getting one.
That's one of my favorite Mustang castings and the tasteful F&F deco only makes it better.

I believe my Boulevard 993 GT2 and RLC 240Z came in the mail today as well, but I've been so busy with end of quarter school work, that I don't think I'll make it home mid-week like a always do.
 
Cano
How much was it? I saw it last weekend for like $7 or $8 but didn't buy because expensive.
Click to expand...

Easier to find down there? At the time I purchased it, they were mostly going for $20+ on eBay. Only saw a couple at the local meet, also for $20. Got mine for $12 plus $3.50 shipping. But technically it didn't cost me that much because I purchased it with the money I got from selling that last Bugatti Veyron that I purchased for $1 and sold for $16. :)

And Zach, got the shipping notice for my 240Z yesterday, should have it by the end of the week. Need to purchase another to open for my display. Or may just open the first one and then buy another to keep carded. Depends on what the production number is.
 
Holy hell $20? That thing? Wtf :crazy:

There are reports in the HWMC forums of these things hitting the pegs at certain stores. I'll be sure to grab all the Mustangs I see so I can mercilessly make money off them. Reportedly they're about $2.50 a pop.
 
Sometimes none per box. Sometimes 2. Lots of reports, but for some reason Mattel decided to do lower numbers on it, not sure why.
 
55 Chevy Panel and Karmann Ghia heritage, only in a exclusive series. The coolest car too. Screw this :lol: ok, I'll grab them all.
