View Full Version : Worth selling die cast / hot wheels ?
Ive got this big box of die cast and hot wheels cars/motorcycles from when I was younger.
are they worth selling ? I can’t stand eBay. I have a small
go-bot collection that will be going too. Some of the boxes are kinda rough , but cars are all in good shape.
When we?re you younger? Late 80?s, early 90?s?
Some of the hot wheels and matchbox stuff from the 60?s and 70?s might be worth a few dollars but not sure about anything beyond that.
And I don?t even know what go bots are. Must have been well past my childhood when they came out.
Good luck.
I’ve got unopened 1987 topps baseball cards I’ll trade you for some go bots.... any m.a.s.k. toys?

The Go bots are the only oldish toys I have.
Ebay has largely destroyed the collector market for just about everything. Hotwheel redlines still have some value if you have any, only a fraction of what they used to though, and we're not talking "worth the time to sell/ship each one individually" (imho anyway). You'd be lucky to take your family out to dinner after selling everything based on the pic.
ETA:
Honestly just go to ebay.com, you don't need an account, plug in the name of the hotwheels. Boom, you have an appraisal. Just prepare to be disappointed.

Yeah. Don't get your hopes up value wise. The collectors market, in general, has dried up. My late B-I-L has / had a massive hot wheels among other auto / toy collector related items.
When he passed we started looking in to value vs actual, Buy It Now $$. Every item was NIW / unopened, had to below average price it to get any interested parties. Needless to say his grandkids now have a nice collection.

Sell it as a single lotMake sure to include a more clear picture for maximum effect.
I'll give you $50 for everything in the picture.
If you Facebook, Marketplace isn't a bad local medium except for managing the tire kickers.
I've sold lots of things there that I was surprised would even sell. Of course, local is a limited market, much like craigslist.
My ads are very clear, if you simply reply or Message me by clicking the "Is this still available?" button without being specific, I'll ignore it.

All I ever seem to get on FB Marketplace is "?Esta Disponible?"

Go Bots were basically knockoff Transformers.

Man, I had a ton of M.A.S.K. stuff when I was a kid.
Sold it all in a garage sale.

If I reply at all, it's with "No Habla."
I had chance to buy about ~2000 sealed boxes (36 packs inside) of 1991-92Upper deck hockey cards.
I remember those pack use to cost about 1.50 to 2 per pack at 1991/1992 dollars at a baseball card shop.
Inner child wanted to buy it all, but sold comps are at $10 and not moving well.
Sadly I had to pass.
As for hot wheels or diecast, depends on which models. If 60s F1 cars,it might be worth few bucks.
I had 97 mclaren F1 diecast that I had for a while. It was about $45 plus shipping on ebay.
After+platform fees+ amount I purchased during 97 dollars, it was just break even.
Goto craigslist hunter on YouTube. There is a guy who scored ~$1.2m worth of diecast car off of storage.
Thanks for the input everybody. Looks like I might be selling them off slowly. I have more time than money lol.
