Hot Wheels?

[JohnAndSancho]

Totally palm unrelated but before I post a bunch of stuff on Etsy, does anybody have any interest in Hot Wheels and other die cast cars? I went on a big kick years ago and I've got a storage tote full of them, still in their packages. My uncle also had tons and tons of them opened but mostly vintage and some sun faded but some stuff I've never seen. If you're looking for anything specific lmk and I'll go digging. I'm willing to part with anything that isn't a Toyota. Please delete if this isn't allowed.

I hate eBay. 

 

I listed a few trucks as a lot and one by one people are picking them apart only wanting one. Then I find out one is rare and valuable so I'm like let's auction it off on payday and people are lowballing me left and right for it. 

 

Then after shipping, when I sell something for like 45 bucks I get 30 and have to wait until delivery to get that. 

 

I hate eBay more than I hate the St Louis Cardinals and Ole Miss and the Atlanta Falcons combined. Ok that's a stretch but I do hate it.

Can you set a minimum for the auction items?

Yeah but it was just super annoying to waste all my time with this guy. It's easier to just throw prices up and wait, since on top of all the other fees, there's a $5 fee if you set a reserve price. Then I have to wait until it's delivered to get paid. I miss old eBay. 

 

I'd rather just sell them straight up or trade them for plants and supplies but this is the world we live in.

Keep them all one day they will be worth a mega buck!

They're paying for my grow room upgrades. Apparently what I've got left isn't worth that much, $20ish for some and the best I've done was $40 for one.

I'm at the point where I don't want to hang on to stuff just for the sake of hanging onto it. I'm keeping my Toyotas because I'm a Toyota guy, but everything else can go.
