I don't need the ACR.

Other than that, I'm liking what I'm seeing. I'll take note of this. Look forward to more offers.
 
The bad thing is I didn't collect from 2003-2008. Anything I have from that time is because I like it. As soon as I saw my first blings car, I said, "I'm done for now."

I have to go through my FE and loose cars still plus anything cheapI nab from the shows this weekend. Any casting above all others you're looking for? Oh, do you need/want the classic game series escort rally? It was always the hardest to find and Id like $2 for it because it's on card. (obviously I'll cut the card at your request)
 
The Red "Uno"? Yeah I'll do $2. Thanks.

I'm actually in the middle of cutting off more cars from my collection and will have a new list of recolours I want and PM you it then. 👍



Does anyone want an FE and a red Lotus 340R?
 
^ Hey fiftybelowzero, I heard you have lots of cool cars in your garage to give away. Can you give me a box full? :dopey:

On a more productive, I'm bidding on a dirt-cheap lot and hoping to make some money back selling that along with my existing lots. When it arrives I'm going to post a few pics on them and ask how much you think people are willing to pay for it. hint: There are old cars, so get at me, vintage collectors. :)

Hey diabolic, I'll take the Viper ACR off of you ;). But do you also have the black ACR and some of the recolor ACRs?

And you still got that black 997 GT3 up for grabs? I'll gladly take it.

Dude I have a white one and am bidding a red one. I can get you these and other cars (to the point where you can't say no to international shipping). :P

Also, AOS, let me see the lot. I won't try to bid on it.
You won't because I won it 5 hours ago, ______. :P

Guy says there are Redlines but I don't even know which ones they are. All I can make one is the Shelby Cobra which is so far the only thing I want. If you can, can you point out (literally via MS paint or something) which ones got some value?



edit: 🤬 I'M SO CHEESED! I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO BID ON THESE BEFORE I LEFT FOR WORK!

F word! F word! F word!

No redlines in your lot. The only really old cars there are the two Funny cars, the silver Mongoose which is from like 1982-5 or so, and the black Firebird which, iirc, was a Kellog's promo. All other are fairly recent, and nothing particularly rare either.
 
No redlines? I can give that guy a negative feedback for this obscenity. :dopey:

I'll take better pics when I get it. Assuming none of them are special, I'm probably going to charge people 25 cents for one and throw them in my current lots. Working out the math, if there really was 100 cars (i pray to god that this is true at the very least), each car was 13.5 cents and I'd make a total of $11.50 in profit. Slow business :P

I'm still cheesed I missed out on those two cars. I would've dropped $5 on them.

You could probably make 3 or 4 bucks each for the black Trans am and Vette funny, but maybe. I dunno what the common price on those is over there, over here they are much more harder to find and way more expensive, I'm selling a mint black one for like $11 and it's cheap here. Ask Wyvern, I'm sure he'll be able to point at a good price for them once you have them.

You could make a lot with the funnies in your lot and make a few extra bucks outta those, since there are two interesting cars that will push the lot forward.

EDIT: I want that 787B. I think I'll buy it.
 
Thanks for the input. If Mexican residents buy from the states, I'm sure they're willing to buy from Canada too. Well, so long as no US seller is selling the same thing. :P
 
Lol, very VERY few mexicans import like me, because unlike me, they don't have a friend that lets them use his Texas PO Box and then actually brings them over here when he goes over there to pick his stuff up (:
 
@Andy: A offer I can't refuse, eh? :P:lol:

I want to hear from diabolic first and see what he has to offer. And the stores where he buys his cars and flea markets and those sweet discounts, can offer many cars for a reasonable price. I can't get over that diabolic can get HWs and MBs from mid to 2010 and 2011s for under $1, and rarer and exclusive cars at prices that make your head explode! That's what I call a steal. :eek:

But he's not here at the moment, but tell me about your plans with the ACRs. :)
 
Nice pics Kakashi. 👍

I've slowed down collecting & stopped the "hunts", but I sort of accidentally ended up doing it today(three Walmarts, two Fred Meyers/Krogers). One Walmart actually had Fast & Furious, and they had TWO (current)Chargers. I bought ZERO. :crazy:

What I did buy + Night at the Races from Wyverns post that I ended up getting from eBay.


Two Pop Culture cars I've been interested in, but didn't want to spend $4.49. They were 40% off. Deal. :P


:drool:
I heard that, YOU
It wasn't me, dude. Probably that a7m4 guy, he's a jerk!
 
:lol:

That Night at the Races set is different in a very good & classy way. They don't cost that much on eBay either. I got mine for $14, but another one I was watching I think went for $11.
 
I only have the white ACR and the holiday release carded. I have the red one loose somewhere. Never bought the black because the wheels I didn't care for. I still have the Porsche. After I ship to AOS, send me a casting list.

Mr AOS,

(apologies for shoddy pics)
Thought I had mtflk gold FE Elise, but mine is yellow. Okay?

20130518_085958_zpsfdd52502.jpg


If interested in Escort rally, want these?

20130518_085810_zps766f982c.jpg

20130518_085916_zpsf0230145.jpg


Lastly, does your Saleen S7 have the exclusive tires? Want one if not?

Mr AOS, thought I had mtflk gold FE Elise,

I have that Elise already I'm afraid. Will take the Escorts and pass on the S7 (I actually blacklisted those and forgot to update my spreadsheet).

I'm revising my list of castings I seek more of and if I'm not interrupted inside the house or by this runny nose, I should be able to get this to you in less than 45 minutes.


edit: My goodness people on Hobbytalk got some poor literacy skills!

edit: Lost that red Viper ACR, Phil. Sorry.

edit: Eye candy if you're popping back and then expecting new posts:

Plymouth+Fury+(garage).jpg


Land+Rover+Defender+(white).jpg




Now that I've decided pretty much what castings to narrow my time and money into, I can push the spending little a more for a single casting.

I've been wanting to take shots like that with my Kyosho racers!

$(KGrHqR,!lYFDOe9DMr5BRCRKWl4vw~~60_35.JPG


Sadly, Kyosho never made a 1/64 scale model of this beauty.

It's the only one left to complete my legendary Japanese Le Mans Racers! :dopey:


UPDATE: Here's another madness from Kyosho:

It's as if the Toyota 86 wasn't enough... oh boy, I'm gonna get broke.

I can just see Cano-bomb going off now......

I look forward to Kyosho releasing the GT One someday as well. I could duplicate the shots I created of Lotus F1 with the 1/18 & 1/64. My only other proper 1/18 diecast I own is a Toyota GT One by AutoArt.

I lied, I have couple of Fords on display at work('05 Mustang race car & 1951 F1 Pickup).
 
Nicely done there Jarod. 👍 Never seen that one from any toy company before. Very cool & very unique............... I still want their Suzuki Alto. :crazy:
