Listing says USPS Frist-class is approximately $11.

AOS: Hi, I wanted to know how much it will cost for you, a US citizen, to ship six 1:60 models to Canada.

Seller: It will be $9.99.

AOS: Um.. six cars to Canada will cost me only $9.99? Are you absolutely sure?

Seller: Oh my bad, I can't read apparently; didn't see that you asked for a quote on six cars. It looks like it will be about 4lbs. So $24. Thanks.

I've mailed out twice the number of cars at about half the "estimated" weight he/she is proposing.

I've left the question vague again just to see how many replies it will take to get this person to actually get an accurate weight measurement. It blows me away somebody would guess at the postage a second time after already being asked to verify their estimate.

As an eBay buyer, I have more power than he does. I'm using the power to ensure the potential transaction will be as I expect it to be.

I could've been a scumbag and bought all 6 can said he promised $9.99 shipping, but the chance of that flying is unlikely without a petty argument.

I also do not believe these six scale models weigh so much that postage exceeds $16. This seller is either too lazy to weigh one and do the math, or is obviously has a poor sense of weight.
 
Gasp. You have the GT500.

Great start to your collection. Are you absolutely new to collecting Hot Wheels?


Edit: Oh? Hot Wheels? I got one.

2015 Colour Shifters. I missed seeing this casting. Wished they made more mainlines of it again.

Also, good alternative to colour change: "Zero Rust Technique". Armpits and breathing on it. Or putting it between your flabby thighs if you got a pair.

Huzzah!

Never heard of them, but they've got some really cool looking stuff. Why is 97.3762% of there stuff red though? Can you chose other colors?

They have other things like sports cars (1:43) and other service vehicles, but my god those fire trucks. I have some strange attachment to red vehicles that my left brain cannot comprehend.

Lol. They are some sweet fire trucks. Very detailed, and a ton of variety. The color red, according to psychology, stimulates energy and Excited emotions. Also lust. Maybe you lust red cars. Lol

Speaking of red, I just found this.. and omagawd I want it so bad. Where is my wallet.

My right brain says so. My left brain tells me to dislike red cars for yellows and possibly silvers.

But something about older cars in red...

Well your left brain is half right. Silver's are cool. Yellow is.. Depends on the car.
As for that picture.. why must you taunt me
 
That makes absolutely no sense to me.



Because you reminded me of it! I got the three for a smashingly good black friday deal. They go for about $50 each. Guess how much I saved in total? :sly:

Lol. Your left brain, is only half correct? is that better.

Plaease tell me at least 100
