So we talked in the Hot Wheels thread about setting up a trade/sell trade for Hot Wheels and other similar scale cars. 

Due to shipping costs it is probably only worth doing for multiple cars. 

Figure post what you are trying to get rid of and what you are looking for.

Red 68 Camaro. In package or loose. Doesn't matter the brand or scale. SWMBO has an affinity for red 68s, and I feel I owe her something after putting up with all of my BS toy car buys.

Here's my loose trade cars:

I really just need a C5 Corvette at this point but always interested in AMC's, SCCA Trans Am racecars or street versions, and endurance racers. Happy to trade multiples of mine for one of yours as I need to downsize.

Don't know if this would fit the bill, but I have a couple of off brand cars from when I was a kid.

I also need to reduce my collection.  Is it okay to toss for sale stuff up here when I get around to photographing it, or should I start a thread in the classifieds?

Okay, here goes the first batch.  I'm mostly interested in just selling, but am on the lookout for an additional GMC Syclone, so I can paint it up like my S10, and any NA Miatas that are not red or blue.

Not going to put any prices on these right now, just go ahead and make an offer.  I am not trying to make a fortune here.  Once I have gone through my whole collection, I may put together a post in the For Sale forum with prices:

Also, I can take a more detailed picture of specific cars if you want.

I’ll set them aside.  I’ll hold off on negotiating on price until I have gone through the rest and post them up, if that is alright?  I may have a model kit or two, also.  Edit- just an FYI, the JL Batmobile is based on the 60’s comic book, so it is similar, but not exactly like the TV series Batmobile.

Any interest in 80s stuff?

 

I am clearing out the last of my hot wheels (sold several hundred in the last few months) and l am down to a bunch of hot bird variations. I'd rather sell here than eBay

I had a couple of the black Firebirds when I was a kid, and they were some of my favorites.  Really trying not to up my collection, though.

I'd like to wait and see what else you have before sending those two off.

In reply to 1kris06 :

No problem, shipping only two in a priority box would pretty cost ineffective.  I should also be able to ship in a padded envelope, too, the packages just might get beat up some.

2nd, and hopefully last batch:

I'm going to want more for the AE86 than for most of the other hot wheels, since it is a Faster Than Ever model.

Not exactly Hot Wheels, but I hope they are close enough:

Since this is mostly to try to get stuff out of my house, and a bit to get some extra cash out of it, I would prefer to ship everything in flat rate priority mail boxes if possible.  Some of it may not be, but I'm going to do my best to just be able to get in and out of the post office fast smiley  However, if you have ideas about cheaper shipping that is still fairly convenient, please let me know.

In reply to Javelin (Forum Supporter) :

How about $5  for the GTO and the JL Batmobile + cost of medium flat rate box ($15.05)

In reply to 1kris06 :

How about $1.50 for the 300ZX and Focus RS + cost of small flat rate box ($8.30)

In reply to slowbird :

How about $17 + cost of shipping - may be somewhat high, as it won't fit into a large flat rate box (Modifier or Miata can, but not together)

 

If shipping is too much for you, please let me know, I can try to send via a slower USPS method, I'll just need to scare up some boxes, so might not be able to ship as quickly.  Also, if you want to add stuff to the box to make it more worth your while, that is fine, too.

As for the rest of them, I think I've come up with prices:

Challenger model kit: $12

AE86 Hot Wheels:  $5

All the other Hot Wheels and Matchbox: $0.75 each

Johnny Lightning Z car:  $0.75

Other Johnny Lightning and Muscle Machines:  $2.50 each

Willing to deal if someone wants to make an offer on everything that hasn’t been claimed yet.

First Class is going to be significantly cheaper than flat rate. If boxes truly are an issue, ask your postal worker for non flat rate priority mail boxes. You need to eclipse like five pounds to make them more than the flat rate.

Looks like I can fit four in a small flat rate box without creasing them.  If you are going to pull them out of the packaging, I can put one more in if you don't mind cardboard backings getting folded.

Will try to take a look at that in a few days and come up with different shipping costs.  Thank you.  I have some smaller boxes, so I can try to figure them out.  Just need to still find a box for some of the bigger stuff.    

Edit- is first class the same as Retail Ground?  I didn’t see a first class package option on the usps page.

Sounds good to me, I'll send you the address to calculate shipping costs. No rush, if you need time to find a box for it that's fine.

Edit: I'll take that Muscle Machines "Truckin" F-150 too. laugh
