Any Hot Wheels collectors here? Or perhaps even just car "collectibles" fans? (1 Viewer)

[nirad3]

My Dad passed away a few months ago and my Mom and I have been going through all of his collectibles that we're looking to sell since my Mom's income is obviously going to drop.

He had a lot of Hot Wheels (in box) and some larger-scale cars of various makers as well.

Is there anyone here that collects toy cars? I'd be happy to send you a list of the Hot Wheels now, and could come up with a list/photos of the other cars as well.

TIA

If you have a spare piece of track, I will pay shipping.

Like to tan my dad's a** with it, now that I can take him. Little nostalgia trip for both of us.

Have you researched this market at all? Feels like it could be real money.

not extensively, but i do know there's a market and my Mom's been looking up the specific cars we have so we know a general price range to ask for.

There’s a few really rare ones that are worth a small fortune.

There’s a market for those 1/16 scale cars I think it is. I wanted to buy a 71 Datsun and it was gonna cost me like 300 bucks.

Going through the modern day selection I was surprised how much they have branched out. Found a nice little replica of the Starship Enterprise for 99 cents.

If you have a general Lee I will buy it

unfortunately i don't think we have one of those.... and if we did i'd probably want it for myself

I don’t collect these, but this is a really hot market item to sell. People go crazy over these. Just do your research and you can turn some serious money on this. Good luck, but so sorry about your loss.

Sorry for your loss.

That 1971 Matchbox No 40 Vauxhall Guildsman in that ad was the fastest MB car I had.

He directed me to a board to post on.

Some guys at a closed water park had a Hot Wheels Race down a water slide, and now this is all I want to do.

And take bets.

The Freebird soundtrack was a nice touch.

There are a bunch of Hot Wheels racing channels on YouTube but this guy has both the best production values and comedy schtick.
