Great vid! Remember too that Ferrari Hot Wheels go for more because Mattel lost the contract to make Ferrari's. JDM (Japanese cars) usually go for more regardless. Super Treasure Hunts will say TH somewhere on the car. Regular Treasure Hunts will have the "flame" logo.
Well spoken and some great tips. I would 100 percent piggy back off of the "How would I want to receive this item" - thats how i ship each and every time. I deal with comics and the length I see some people trying to skip out on packing stuff is crazy. Always leads to damage and disappointment. Thanks for the good words
Great video. I dont care at all about hotwheels for myself but having an expert come in and nerd out was great. Love learning from people who know their stuff!
Where can someone by factory sealed cases. My friend and I run a church youth group and we have Hot Wheels races at least 3 times a year. I supply around 90% of the cars and all of the winners prizes from my own collection. Each racer gets to keep the cars they race with. Usually I stock up on cars at the local stores but pickings have been few. Great video by the way. Vroom, Vroom. Steven
@@ankithindia6335 bro in Slovakia (where i live) we have one big toy store and in every single building of it there is just one premium and also it is the same one in every shop and it is for 8€ which isnt that bad
In where I am the short cards are worth more probably because our markets have long cards and short cards commonly come from Europe? That is my guess, I’m new to collecting :)
Not really ... depends what are you talking about. In general, Supers on short cards are worth more than long carded ones. Also in the stores here you can find short cards 95% of the time, when it comes to mainlines!
Trust me, you can go deeper on why the different things he is talking about matter when estimating value. He did a great job getting the idea, and some cool stuff in there.
Back in the 70’s, 80s and 90’, hotwheels were easily found in stores for kids and collectors to buy. I only see adults now in the aisles hunting now and there isn’t much on the pegs anymore in any of the stores I’ve been to. I’ve been collecting since the 70s.
Ive been playing with and collecting since 1968 when hotwheels first came out, i bought my first cars at T. G&Y, and all the first 16 cars, sweet 16 had spectraflame paint
2009 not 2006...they go all back to the first cause have 3 sweet 16s with real riders, supers came to rise when spectraflame paint yet I have mainline that are in series called spectraflame paint. That's the only main untold mysteries of hotwheels is the time line.
Hello enjoyed your video, I’m going through three or four Bins full of hot wheels. Some of them have been damaged but there’s still a lot more I don’t know much about them but I enjoyed your video and it helped me a lot. I was wondering where you’re at and if you were interested in what I have and I hope you get back with me.
Remember an items value is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. People can put 150 on a 1.18 car and someone pays it. That's their idiotic fault. Doesn't make them a scammer makes the buyer an moron
@@j.tyler2024@JTyler-je3fb if they bought sealed boxes directly from mattel or a big supplier then it's ok. The issue is that most of them are scavengers that are usually colluded with store clerks and handpick TH, STH or valuable cars in general that are worth $1 in the store but then sold over a hundred times the price and you never get the chance to find it as a collector because of them. That's what's wrong.
I recently just came across of a bunch of hot wheels from the 70's and a tonka dune buggy,I was just wondering how I could a price on them or possibly sell,im in indiana if you could point me in the right direction,appreciate very much
Cars after 2007 with the real riders are supers. Not 2006. Not all supers have the gold flame, I think that didn’t start until 2015. And regular treasure hunts after a certain time have the silver flame behind the car. As for certain casts being more desirable most older Japanese stuff you can no longer find in stores will command high value along with Ferraris, Specific Volkswagen products and a few other things like the 83 Silverado.
Lately supers are found 1 per 10-15 cases. And everyone is looking. The odds are against you even if you go to a few stores every day sometimes 2x per day. You have to ask yourself is your time and gas money worth hunting them.
I have over 400 cars in cards 200 loose and maybe like 6 tressure 2 supers but im going to open all eventually because i dont collect cardboard i collect die cast
At the Toronto Autoshow I guess Hotwheels did a scavenger hunt and hid a whole bunch of hotwheels around the convention centre and i happened to find a purple r32 skyline and found out it goes for $70 CAD I think it was my sign
Ive been getting back into hot wheels now, really the midwest is the perfect area for hotwheels. Right now im just accumulating mainlines from the 90s-2000s and seeing what catches my eye on the newer stuff. Im even looking at some numbered rare stuff locally, specifically a numbered limited edition glow in the dark ecto-1.
Lots of great information, thank you. What is your advice on older hot wheels? I have a collection that basically goes from 1994 (some older) to 1999. Lots of numbered cards, 4 car sets, FE’s, SE, some sets. Some TH’s as well. Also JC Whitney and Jiffy Lube which don’t seem to have held their value or not gained any above what they cost. Approx. 1200 pieces. What could I expect out of a collection like that?
I sold most of my collection years ago. On most of my sales customers were low balling me. Due to the poor economic condition most collectors tend to be stingy or cheap and want the car for next to nothing. I have a Super Kombi from 2015 which is valued at $150 to $195 depending on where you live. Most collectors want it for $40.00. The value is one thing but you may spend years before someone pays your asking price.
Ebay is the best place to get market value. I always look up sold comps and price and list there. The good stuff don't last long at all even a tick above market price.
@@mikevanderheide9039 That was 5 years ago that I tried to sell it. I've decided just to hang on to it. I see the value keeps going up for the Kombi 😁👍
I don't need to make thousands of dollars. I just need to know how to beat the scalpers and the hoarders so I can get one of each exclusive for my collection....😂
I just started buying hotwheels to get my sons collection going for him. Ive been finding cars at Publix 3 for $4 and some of them are at Walmart for $15
This was some great information. Not that it matters one iota, but I always thought "Tampo" referred to the process used to apply the decals, not the decals themselves.
Seeing this im just learning about the short cards. My wife just bought me a few and i was wondering why they had short cards. They were mustangs mostly. One was an svo. Havent figured out why they are sellying for 30-80 yet tho and she got it for 2
Josh isn't your typical HotWheels collector, most are disgusting people inside and out. I use to collect hot wheels but quickly found out the hot wheel guys are some of the most vile and ruthless people you'll run into. Just very rude people with no sense of hygiene ( t-shirt, sweats and body odor). I've witnessed on a handful of occasions guys taking treasure hunts out of kids hands which was the last straw for me to walk away from the hobby. Just be aware before you jump into the HotWheel world and a lot of so called collectors already have areas on lockdown between backdoor deals, deals with employee's who hold cases and the people who don't have jobs who can go when the stores open to have first shot.
Right on. You just took the words right out if my mouth. Most of these so called collectors are just scalpers and flippers. Like you said, most if them already have stores on lock down with people.
It was so much easier to find supers before the pandemic, now I see people making deals with the workers all the time and some smoothbrains just ripping out cars in the aisle and making a whole mess, it is sad to see.
You should see magic the gathering collectors and players. I’ve seen signs up in the hobby store saying, you will be asked to leave if you have bad BO.
As well I believe the plastic ones are prototypes before the actual model came out and if so they're worth 100$s or more. Original pink beach bomb bus prototype 175,000$...
Curious, I generally only collect specific types of hot wheels (generally licensed, character cars). But I seem to only be able to find out about them a year or so after they come out when browsing ebay. Do you have any tips on finding/hearing of the newest releases?
I just bought 4 bags of hot wheels at my local thrift store 3.00 I have about 15-20 1968-72 with redlines on the tires. Are these prices real 75.00-100.00 dollars
Does your guy travel,i recently came across quite a few of hot wheels from the 70's and would love to get a price or possibly sale,also have a tonka dune buggy with the xxl tires on it,thank you
Wow, that was great. Didn't realize Josh was buying them off of you? Makes sense. The Wisconsin State Police car in the box looked really nice. Awesome time with you guys.
If you are talking about his left forearm, I think that is an iron cross. His right forearm has a blazing spade. I'm guessing they mean something to him.
How can he be an expert when he probably wasn't born before 2000, treasure hunts always had real riders and said treasure hunt on the package, i know i have tubs of them,
Spectraflame isn’t a Pearl it’s a Kandy. Pearl isn’t transparent. Kandy is. You can see the raw metal under the paint. With Pearl you’ll get full coverage and can’t see the raw metal
People who are employed, usually go through the boxes, and get the best and leave the customers without, the Dollar store is one of them, you can never find a treasure hunt car there.
It's only worth as much as someone is willing to pay not all errors are valuable but there are definitely collectors who like to collect errors and errors of cars they collect
Cool video. But I have a question. Do you know about the "worlds smallest die cast car" hot wheels? I have one & the car is the same car that's on the box, but the car on the box is blue, this car is red though?! It's hot wheels, just the tiny Itty bitty ones....
They have them in stores so would say not much being recent years, not sure if ever made till prese t as never seen any yet except maybe one but it's more tide bit then tiny sized
Those showcase models, we had some in Australia in the 60's and 70's for our Manaro's and I think a few other cars, but they're worth a couple $100 each now
Great vid!
Remember too that Ferrari Hot Wheels go for more because Mattel lost the contract to make Ferrari's.
JDM (Japanese cars) usually go for more regardless.
Super Treasure Hunts will say TH somewhere on the car.
Regular Treasure Hunts will have the "flame" logo.
Regarding the Ferrari license - he said that exact thing in the video.

900 was a steal !!! Great content
That skyline was 200+ alone great score😮
The older Treasure Hunts did come in Supers, the Difference is in the Card in the word Hunts it will have a $ instead of a S on Treasure Hunt$
Yes they had real rider tires but were not called supers till 2006
2009 not 2006...they go all back to the first cause have 3 sweet 16s with real riders, supers came to rise when spectraflame paint yet I have mainline that are in series called spectraflame paint. That's the only main untold mysteries of hotwheels is the time line.

There goes the hobby down the tube with scamming prices on diecast and on websites...let me say this don't pay those scammers!!!
Huh what are you talking about? Your comment doesn't make sense what scammers?
How can you scam someone on a $1.18 toy. Lol it's impossible and if you get scammed on a cheap ass toy that's your problem

One time I found a super with the hotwheels logo upside down unfortunately back then it wasn't worth much but now it would probably be gold.
Sadly we from the overseas don't have treasure hunts and all of these rare finds.
yes we do.. in europe at least
Haha - I actually pulled that exact same Jo-Han 1976 Cadillac out of a bin I had last night and was too busy to comp it. Guess I'll look it up!
Im sorry but this guy is only an expert at his ebay account
And that's supposed to be a insult?
Sitting here watching this, I have a very small collection.. he pulls the Supra out of the 20-50 bin.. I look up and see mine on the wall.. haha
Exact same just happened to me... I'm not much a collector really. But sometimes you see something you just can't pass up
Great video , Thx for sharing
I got the “80’s” era gold Vette a few weeks ago that is missing the whole interior piece inside.

One of the best bets you have for striking it rich from hot wheels is to become a retail store employee to get valuable cars before any other hunters
Super Treasure Hunt Cars started in 2007.
Looking like hot wheels are popular 😅 now
I barely know anything about hot wheels,I have this chrysler llc 2013 dodge daytona with red base and white stripes, just wondering if it’s good.
I have a 1971 Ford Ranchero yellow with sponge Bob and crew with chrome wheels and white wall tires
That Chevy Silverado has a $4.00 price tag on it and its worth $175. Wild.
