      I see that a lot with non-collectors with any Hot Wheels they sell. I went to a collectible place called Jimmy's USA which is in my link I sent to Mike... and there is a place I wnt to called Frank And Son's a collectible place that has other stuff but when you are there they have so many vendors that sell Hot Wheels and they are marking them up even on Walmart and Target's website they mark Hot Wheels up. The Team Transport that sells for $12.97 is marked way up. I have seen the Team Transport Yellow Moon Eyes sell for ($15.00-$19.00) or more At Frank And Son's... I saw the 55 Chevy Belair Gasser marked up at ($4000.00) I have been seeing what Mike is seeing whether it's a Team Transport set you want or a car where I see it much cheaper and they are willing to pay more money for it. I don't get it...
      What do they want to be able to say it is worth more when it's not?" If you see my post the Team Transport you see in the link I can't find them anywhere online except eBay and I don't know where these non-collectors and Hot Wheels Collectors are finding them... And I have a hard time getting anything I want at Walmart at my location because the non-collectors and the Hot Wheels collectors are taking them. I like to save time and a trip to Walmart and Target if they don't have it in yet but Walmart is not very helpful.
      I asked a girl if she can get her scanner to tell me when the date would be they are getting an item in and she has helped me before but said I don't have a scanner when I know she has one... She just didn't feel like telling me or even helping me which is her job to help me... The date always changed because of the virus and if someone orders too much or they put in the wrong letter they have to re-due the order again. Now they are saying the scanner may not give you the correct date of delivery.
      This one Walmart location I called the woman was very friendly and very helpful said when they would be getting a shipment in and make sure you get there at 7:00 AM or the Hot Wheels will be gone and sold out. She was sure she would get more Hot Wheels on Saturday but when I got there they never got them in. The dump bend had bent cards but I was willing to go through the whole dump bend and found a bunch of cars where the cards were not bent. No one is as thorough as I am. That is why I see so many people in their videos missed a car because they didn't look hard enough. You need to look at every car from top to bottom. You would have never none what I found was there unless you were willing to search the whole dump bend or search the whole wall.
      That is why I'm trying to go online to get them but I can't find them anywhere but on eBay. I don't want to pay these markup prices... This sucks... Someone needs to put a stop to this... I feel your pain. I can never get Hot Wheels, anyone, as I used too... If a certain Hot Wheels is going for more money than fine but don't mark it up because you are trying to get more for it... to me It is highway robbery.

    Mike, that's the sad state of the Hotwheels world today. People selling Hot wheels for outrageous money are just plain greedy (scalpers)!

    What really pisses me off are the sellers in Malaysia selling 10- 20 loose supers of the same car knowing the whole time they are probably Mattel employees that are stealing them from the factory. Why can't Mattel do something about it. They're stopping the collectors from having a fair chance at finding them in the wild.

      U are absolutely spot on buddy. I am a Malaysian here and these guys seemed to have their hands on STH scheduled for the next 3 or 4 cases in advance and all of them are loose pieces. I personally feel tht Mattel is staying mum as it creates hype among collectors and they see it as another avenue of publicity. And it’s free publicity.

    • @hughjass2745
      @hughjass2745 Před 4 lety +2

      the more they steal the less there is to find out in the wild, which essentially means their value goes up. It's not worthless if people are prepared to pay for stuff not even out yet, some need it before everyone else. So Mattel essentially isnt losing, it just adds to the hot wheels hype on STH's and upcoming releases.

    Yep-I don’t buy much off ebay but when I do it’s for a reasonable price only. I do take into consideration that I have to pay sales tax (which is expensive in California), the shipping cost, and how much ebay takes from the seller. So if I see a premium Hot Wheels car (Car Culture, Boulevard, etc.) going for around $10-$15 (including shipping)-I understand (a little profit). If I see that same premium car for $20 (including shipping)-forget it-I’d rather spend that on materials for customizing.

    Yeah, it really stinks when people ask for huge amounts of money for a 2$ car, they don't realize that about, what? 99% of Hot Wheels are super common and can be found in most stores, maybe not the older ones, but you're gotta look for garage sales and thrift stores, you won't need to pay ridiculous amounts of money, there's always exceptions, but even then, I'm not gonna pay 200$ for a Hot Wheels. I recently bought the '67 Camaro Treasure Hunt from the 2019 Q case on Ebay, and I payed about 30$ for it, including shipping and I thought it was pushing it, but some others are just way too high! You really need to pay attention and shop, but these sellers also need to stop believing that they will become rich by selling 2$ cars for far more than they're actually worth, it's just wrong, not to mention the shipping costs, too damn high!

    My wife and I just inherited a 30 year nascar collection and I'm now trying to sell on eBay. The tough thing with 1/64 is the shipping cost. I have thousands so pricing them takes forever and the prices are all over the place. But if it's value is around 10 bucks and shipping is $9.45 you need to list it for more and go free shipping or just see what happens. 1/24 is a little easier when the value is 75 bucks or more you can work it into the price and really valuable ones the shipping seems small compared to what it cost but it's hard. I see prices range from 10 bucks to 100 bucks for the same car. Lucky my father in-law put stickers on the valuable ones with a price at the time but it's only a guide.

    • @TheLucarioProject
      @TheLucarioProject Před 2 lety

      The demand is there, these sellers are just taking advantage of that and jacking up all the prices simply because they're part of the series rather than because that specific car is more rare. Unfortunately now more people are probably folding and paying these ridiculous prices possibly due to new eyes in the scene from some of the cars appearing in Infinite Loop. Personally I stay away from ebay so I can't really speak on this first hand but I know this has been the general frustration felt across the Acceleracers community for the past few years.
