Got anymore Boulevards?

I might have one or two more, plus a few that I stole the wheels from, but what I have shown is about it as far as I know. If I find more, I'll show them.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I should start doing that, put most of my loose cars in boxes like that.

You mean these?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I do have those but they're full.

 

[mustang fanatic]

I like them. They work really well for loose cars.

 

[AOS-]

Yes I meant cars, I can be a bit stupid sometimes

Well in that case, you've got competition!

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Hey, where can I get those kinda of boxes? Just curious?.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Look online, I don't think store are selling cases like that.
I haven't seen these cases in stores in a long time.

 

[mustang fanatic]

The ones I use are for fishing tackle. You can find them pretty much anywhere. Or you could get ones like @Gotbeefboy564 mentioned that hold more cars. Only problem is, they are harder to find.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Anyone remember/or have this?

Autonomy concept.

It comes apart.

Anyone have the link still for the Nissan IDx preorder?

Alright then, thanks guys. I'll probably start with the fishing ones, because I don't like shopping online.

Here it is. Jesus.

I use fishing tackle boxes for larger/longer castings. For normal cars, I recommend thread organizer(formerly known as Jammer cases). You can find them here or here.

 

[CodeRedR51]

What's with the jesus?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Either it's expensive or he's annoyed.

 

[a6m5]

Never mind, I was fighting my internet connection(or modem). It comes & goes.

Also, if you preorder that car, you may never call my cars fancypants ever again.

Either it's expensive or he's annoyed.

You get one "like" for being correct on both!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Probably a lot less than everything you spend monthly.

 

[Spacegoat]

It took me long enough.

I didn't want to say anything. Looking forward to seeing your pictures of it. 👍

I has that.

Heres a quick pic of my complete set of 2013 Retro Entertainment. Already have 10 for 2014 and waiting for Batch C to become available.

So when I get my internet up and running at home next week, I plan on starting my own website selling individual Hot Wheels cars. (at first, other brands added depending on how successful it is...) and I need opinions on how much you would be willing to pay for a single car off a website. My cost would be around $85-95 including shipping for each case, so I would need to at least make that back but would like some profit obviously.

Are these prices reasonable?

$1.49 or $1.95 - Regular mainline cars (+ shipping)
$3.49 or $3.95 - Regular release Treasure Hunt cars (+ shipping)
$9.49 or $9.95 - Super Treasure Hunt cars (+ shipping)

Those would be new releases. Prices would drop slightly as cars got older to help move inventory.

Thoughts? Be nice please.

 

[a6m5]

Edit: Picked up few cars, but my internet is crapping out & I've been able to upload just this car so far.

Greenlight '87 Pontiac Firebird(Trans Am?)

I didn't want to say anything. Looking forward to seeing your pictures of it. 👍

Did you take yours out of the box?

Thoughts? Be nice please.

You know I wouldn't be the one to ask about mainlines, but my opinion, they seem reasonable to me. I actually think it's bit low on the Super Treasure Hunts, as some of them seem to easily move at $15(+shipping) range.

 

[mustang fanatic]

That Firebird is pretty cool. I've always loved Greenlights. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Thinking $12.95 maybe, point is to undercut ebay to drive sales. Problem is I'll have very little inventory to start.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

The rest of my In-box hotwheels (until whenever I decide to collect more):

Ford Falcon 351, Ford Gran Torino, and two 2012 Mustang Boss 302s.

Citroen C4, Mazda Furei, & SRT Viper

C4 Corvette Coupe & a Datsun 240Z in a nice livery

Lamborghini Aventador & Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera (sadly the only superleggera I have)

 

[a6m5]

I like the 240z. I'm headed out to Walmart, so I hope I find something, too!

That Firebird is pretty cool. I've always loved Greenlights. 👍

Thanks! I'm into Greenlight cars right now & if I'm ever able to load it, you'll love the next car. Maybe.

I guess that makes sense. Again, just my opinion, but I wouldn't price it so low(not that $12.95 is) that you are immediately out of the good stuff(like chase cars, TH's), nobody bother checking your site after while.

Take it with a grain of salt, as I occasionally sell on eBay, but I'm no online merchant.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Well the faster they sell, the faster i can get more.

20 packs at Target have these. For $24 I'll pass, saw one in a 9 pack too but other cars were crappy and I don't want to be stuck with them so I'll wait for a single.

Sorry for crappy cell pic.

 

[mustang fanatic]

More cars.

Haven't seen that Civic yet.

I also recently took pictures of cars I collected years ago that I had out of the box. They're quite aged:

It's mostly Johnny Lightnings, but there's other types here.

Ah, I'm now remembering the fun days of my childhood where I use to race my hotwheels like in a Gran Turismo game.
