How do you afford these collections? The last lot I bought on eBay had around 30 poor condition cars and it cost me $380 bucks. I can't imagine what your paying for your collections? $1,000's each? I just don't have the disposable income but I'm happy for you that you do. At least I can watch the videos and see someone else enjoy them.
I'm old and my younger wife has a great job. I live modestly and try to get a fair deal on everything. I've been selling and buying over 30 years so I have hundreds of happy buyers for everything. I have bought and sold all my life and know how to spot a good value. Buying and selling makes the world go around. Toys make me and all collectors happy. I know many people outside of collecting and they seem unhappy. Collectors are a happy bunch especially if they have a toy room and their spouse don't mind.
@@toycarcollector Thanks for the reply. I really do enjoy you unboxing collections. Is there a market even for the "junkyard" type cars. I have a whole box of them. Thanks.
Over 25 years on the internet and easy to find. Over 500 videos on You Tube. Attended 56 Hot Wheels Conventions. My name gets around. Also advertise locally. You should at least advertise on your local Craigslist and let people know you collect Hot Wheels. You never know. Once I was taking a class back in 1995 and I wrote a paper in writing class about collecting. The guy sitting next to me said his dad had a box of hot wheels and that he had been a Shell Oil Tanker driver. Eventually I got to buy those 50 Redline Blister Packs and one of them was a Dark Green Olds 442. I still have that. I think the value increase in those 50 blister packs if I still had all of them has been more than the cost of my 4 years of part time classes at Washington State. I had gone back to school in 1995 to finish a college degree. And it was possible for me to do that because I collected Redlines and started buying and selling in the late 80's. It is a great hobby and challenging. I hear that guys have found Redlines at estate sales, and garage sales, but you have to ask becuase if they put them out already they would be gone.
What an incredibly beautiful patty wagon! 🤭
The antifreeze bug was nice.🙂
Great cars 👍! Big Matchbox convention here in Albuquerque. July 23,24,25, 19th year, can’t wait!

Where are all the camaros and mustangs🐎?🤔
Hopefully there will be a charger in part two and it would be for sale 🙏🏽.
One of my favorite sayings I heard this year "there is always hope, there is just no chance". LOL
