I know nothing about Hot Wheels cars.
At yesterdays card show a dealer set up with mostly hot wheels cars. My grandson is really into these, especially cars that are still new in the box. He has a store set up in his bedroom and sells cars to neighborhood kids hilarious!
Anyway dealer had several new cars still in the packaging marked $1 to $3 (I do know that new cars are available at Wal Mart for .94c each) He seemed anxious to make some sales so he encouraged me to make an offer on these unopened cars and I offer to by all he had at 25c each which he accepts. So I load up 35 to restock my grandsons store lol.
His wife seemed even more anxious than him to get rid of some of his other stuff, so, my "make a few bucks" mentality kicks in and I buy all his other loose cars along with the cases they were in. There are about 200 cars here and I paid $60 for them all.
I haven't really looked at them closely yet. Some are from the 1970s many from the 1980s. Not sure but the cases themselves might have some value.
I plan on selling them on eBay to recoup my expenses (I hope). How do sellers ship these cars wrapped in bubble wrap and inserted in a bubble envelope? What else should I look for in these cars? I imagine all the rare or expensive cars have been removed?
