It’s a fun hobby. From 2010-2016 was when I collected the most. About 600 cars. After the Kmart in San Mateo closed is when I stopped. Believe it or not Kmart and Walmart is where all the good ones are at. <br /><br />Back in December I started selling my collection on eBay offerup and mercari. I didn’t think I was gona get any hits but surprisingly I was selling immediately. I was shipping all over the country. Guys paying $5-$9 for 1 car that I bought for $.99 cents. I’m not trying brag or trying to become a millionaire off of this but I’m having fun with it. Was wondering if anyone here collected?<br /><br />My popular items were imports. Skylines, Toyota 2000gts Honda Civic efs. I was surprised that imports were my most sold. <br /><br />Popular Euros i sold Lamborghini sestos <br /><br />And the least popular were American. My best seller American was a 69 Ford Torino Talladega and 92 Mustang<br /><br />These are all brand new still in boxes that I sold. I have about 400 left if anyone is interested in buying or trading. I’m slowly getting back into buying again. It’s tough with no kmarts or Walmart’s in the peninsula. I have all the cars in the bay that everyone likes forsure<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2020-02-04, 09:40 PM: Message edited by: SSFGiant ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>70stang351w</b> <br /><small>Member # 9948</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2020,1,7,9,3,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I do.. been collecting for 5years or so.

The wheel swaps are pretty simple but when the customizers start doing fender flares and building tiny engines, that’s really cool. I don’t know if I’ll ever have the patience to make a tiny engine. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>fredfifty</b> <br /><small>Member # 10320</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2020,1,11,8,46,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> not a collector but i was given a ssp chp fox still in the packaging. nifty little toy to hang in the garage. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Boss 327</b> <br /><small>Member # 9143</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2020,1,11,18,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I buy Hot Wheels at the store when something catches my eye, I wouldn't call myself a collector though.<br /><br />I would like to learn more on how to sell items like this.

I reuse amazon boxes and the bubble wrap. Before I post I search the car on eBay to see what it goes for. And just base my prices off of that. I post on eBay too but it’s a bit more tedious. They ask a lot of questions before posting. I mainly ship out. Very rare I do meet ups. Offerup mercari and eBay all provide shipping labels.
