That's not too bad. Beats acquiring 700 cars in one year. If my auction doesn't sell, I'm just going to gut all the cars, take their wheels and sell them all off as donors for a stupid low price. I hope you guys know people who love customizing cars.
 
That Nova Ben picked up is one of the nicest cars out there. I just don't care for the original car, and that's the only reason why I've never bought one. :crazy:
AOS-

Also, someone outbidded my 99 cent bid on the Off Road Land Cruiser, Shinji. Looks like I will probably have only 2 left which means there is none for you. Sorry.

No sweat Ando. Like I said, it would've been a nice bonus, but I'm not totally into that one. 👍

I still like that nickname "Courage" you gave to that Nissan 300Z i got a while back. It is still very catchy!:lol:👍

That means I run you then, Shun-kun.

That's what I would do. I just messaged her with those same photos and let her know that if I hadn't planned to open the car anyway that I would have been quite upset. Hotwheels or any other diecast on a card back should NEVER be shipped in a padded envelope.

I'm gonna give her one more day, then it's going to be a red feedback. When you don't even have the courtesy to reply your buyer, you do deserve another strike for that. That's two strike, but oh, well.

I honestly think you'd be making a mistake gutting them. If you can't get rid of them intact, you certainly won't get rid of them in pieces. If it doesn't sell, relist it. I had to relist my driving suit about 8 times before it sold.
 
Beauty of eBay... one of the very few, you won't get charged until the item actually sells. I would keep relisting it, or maybe eventually, you can make the starting bid stupid low, hope it will spark enough interest & bids.
 
I'm more concerned about people actually being able to find it in search results.

Looks like someone outbidded my $1.50. Which left me with my $2.50 bid Land Cruiser. My safety margin plan worked!

Also, I just did a bit of looking at milezone.com and my goodness some of the HW Racing Muscle cars look amazing.
 
Did you mean this?

:p

Already have it. Do you need any of those Stock Cars? I still have plentiful at my local Walmarts.

It's the Muscle series I have only 2 of.
 
Oops.

I'm OK on the Racing series. I'm not a huge fan, and this Galxie was probably the only one I had to have.
 
Well guys i (or technically my neighbor) just won an auction today on ebay!:D It is something i have wanted for a while and now it is finally mine!:dopey::D
Dwight I understand you said you were jealous about that Curiousity rover i posted recently, if you think that is awesome, you really going to be jealous to see what i have now....;)
Vspec, by all means i got something really awesome to show for you when it arrives!:D Have an ambulance ready because this one is pretty heart stopping! (well maybe not literally):lol:
R1600Turbo, your really going to like this....;)
Photonrider, you will like this one to!;)

I got one of those. Nice details... Any old school stock car is a must have for me. :)

Apparently I won't. Let's see if this is true.

Oh yes!:D My bad i forgot to mention you in the comment.:lol: This one i just scored is not like anything ever posted here....:drool: and before you ask. no it is not the Rigor Motor, it is something older... it was only issued just once!:eek:
a6m5, i think you will find this most astounding.;)
 


I don't know if Target was good to my girlfriend and I tonight, what do you guys think? :sly:
She found the Flintmobile rather jealously, so that's her's as well as the Kombi.
 
Maaannnn I want an $TH El Camino and Fast Fish TH...so jelly right now.



Antonisbob, what kind of stores are you visiting in Kelowna? I'm curious what kind of car variety you get that differs from mine.

Ugh. I never have any luck. I went to two Targets today. All of them in my area just did the resets. (btw boulevards and flying customs I think are axed, didn't see any tags for them). One store was stocked but didn't have anything and the other was completely empty, top to bottom. And that store is filled with extremely lazy employees, so it might get stocked by next weekend...

@sonygamer hrm you've set the bar high...

Call it a leaked photo of what I'm doing at the moment.

Some turn out subpar, some turn out perfect. *shrugs*
 
My latest Ebay purchases have arrived.


P1120191 by commodoreben, on Flickr
The Top Gear Indestructible Hi-Lux.


P1120192 by commodoreben, on Flickr
From another seller I got this case that has some cars in it.


P1120193 by commodoreben, on Flickr
In the first tray were these. A Matchbox Oldsmobile Aerotech, A Lesney steam powered truck, not sure of its proper name, a Matchbox Lesney Boat and Trailer and a Hot Wheels Torino Stocker from 1979.


P1120194 by commodoreben, on Flickr
The second tray had a Hotwheels 31 Doozie missing its roof, another Lesney Snow Trac for my collection, one day I will find one of these that still has its tracks, a Blue Box 911 and a Matchbox Lesney MG 1100 that still has its driver a dog on the rear seat and its tow hook.


P1120195 by commodoreben, on Flickr
In the third tray are a Matchbox Lesney Refrigerator Truck, a rough Lesney TV Service Van, a Super Shell petrol pump, a Matchbox Lesney Rod Roller, a Hotwheels Fiero and a Zender Fact 4.


P1120196 by commodoreben, on Flickr
In the last tray there are a Lesney Commer Ice Cream Canteen, a Matchbox Lesney Jeep Hot Rod, a Esso petrol pump, another Lesney Rod Roller, a Matchbox Lesney Ford Tractor and a Matchbox Lesney Coach with Greyhound decals.
 
Okay fellas, I will be at the "largest flea market in Western Pennsylvania" by noon.
Visit my new Flickr photostream for a live stream of sorts.
 
Really really really need to find an r34... That zamac one looks sick. Went to Kmart on a whim and ended up spending eight bucks. Found the e30; bought two; f12, I thought the c4 casting looked killer this year so I picked up one as well, and this years nsx which I was surprised had a metal wing this year. Also, mad manga recolor ( this car is gonna look really odd without a crazy tampo scheme) and a silver 918 spyder
 
When you sending those McLaren F1 Decades?

I'm on my your photostream right now and I only see that one small container of cars filled with CM6s at which point I'm going to ask if you're offering those because I want a lot of those wheels.
