God, I have 3 or 4 THs. I've sold another on eBay that I found and gave one away for Brokecon. I've gotten very lucky.

I found a Corvette Treasure Hunt one time... that's about it. Didn't buy it though; I was just looking for Nascar stuff at the time and saw it. And I thought only Super Treasure Hunts were popular.

this is just CASUAL collecting. i don't run to the hotwheels, AT ALL, and these were all picked up in the same town, so i guess i'm the onlyone who even realizes these are significant. only good thing about a small town i guess. i'll trade any two regular THs for your mustang.take your pic |

In my opinion Hot Wheels are probably the most scalped toy there is.
I know everyone here complains about people scalping Joes, but I've never seen any of the scalpers in my area ever come close to even touching a Joe. They usually go for Hot Wheels, Lego, and Power Rangers...that's right I said Power Rangers, go figure. (No pun intended.) The funny thing when it comes to Hot Wheels is that employees of stores like Target, TRU and Walmart hate these collectors or scalpers the most. I've heard that they trash the section looking for the Treasure Hunts and then they don't clean up their messes. They even go as far as taking every car off of the pegs and toss them into a shopping cart only to wheel it away to another section so that they could take their time looking through them. When they are done they just leave the cart filled with all of the cars that they didn't buy, which is about 99% of them. Now that habbit is messed up. No offense to Hot Wheels collectors here, but I think that their antics give the rest of the collectors a bad name, especially when it comes to the way store employees feel about collectors in general. Now I know not all Hot Wheels collectors are like this, but most of the ones I've come into contact with are very ecentric.

I found a gangster grin TH one day at pure random. I buy hot wheels, but I usually go for the common stuff, I'll buy a ferrari or two, or something exotic.
The only time I went nuts was the recent Ecto-1 that was released. Being a ghostbusters fan, I had to get one! I just can't believe some of the stories I hear about HW collectors. And I too have seen older guys check TRU and target in the morning looking for cars.

I actually found one yesterday. Some pink '53 Cadillac. I started checking the Hot Wheels because I wanted the BttF looking Delorean and the Ecto-1 (both of which I have found 3 copies of.)
I grabbed the TH just because it was a dollar and I thought it might be worth something in trade. My daughter and nephews like to screw around with Hot Wheels while I'm working, so I grab regular ones we like now and again. But I'll admit--it was a genuine thrill to actually see one, after about 4 months of casually checking and seeing NOTHING. I get why the Hot Wheels flippers do it--the overhead is minuscule and the return can be generous. It's hard to get a nut up for, like, flipping vintage G1 Transformers or antique cabinetry and such. These guys can take $20 and flip it into $300 or more. That buys a lot of Hungry Man dinners. That not nice, but I don't think they're dumb or anything. They're not going to become millionaires doing this type of shit, but they can grind out a living, I suppose. You might be able to flip a hot Joe or Star Wars dude now and again, but the margin is much smaller. Last edited by TheRealDubya; 08-10-2010 at 02:01 AM.. |
