Ok I have acquired an 80+ lb box of these things (all loose) and I don’t know the first thing about them other than (suprise…people collect them and some are big bucks)
Hotwheels, matchbox, larger scale cars, some plastic ones. Where on earth do I start finding their names/year? Is there any website that has a list of the names/year,pictures…what is generally revered and shunned and the like?
I have been trying on my own and it is taking FOREVER to identify one.
I have already found one I saw on ebay go for $220+…don’t expect that to happen alot but even if I can get $2-5 for most of these it is worth my time as I have a bazillion of them mixed up.
The problem is that a good portion of them are what I think would be junky (fast food stuff).
Tons of hotwheels/roadchamps/matchbox.
The best site I could find was wikipedia’s diecast car (shows a list of the makers but not much more info).
BTW I do think that would be a VERY profitable blog site for someone to create, from some of the big $ I see going on ebay for these I think the web needs a site on these like yojoe is to gi joes.
It won’t be me…I hate the collecting of anything and web site creation/advertising even more.
If they are Matchbox look on the bottom and it will tell you what it is. I don’t remember if Hot Wheels does or not.
