someone must have had an extremely rare car there @_@ @_@ X_x

I hope they realize that you can't actually drive that thing. O_O

Looks like a nice car to actually drive. Early model and condition may amount to the cost.

Thats just rediculess(how ever you spell it).I think I should email him and telll if he has money to waste like that to send me some via PP.Look at his other recent wins,he's spend over 30,000 this mounth alone.

Holy crap. I thought only antique Dinky (http://search-completed.ebay.com/search/search.dll?GetResult&ht=1&sortproperty=metaendsort&query=dinky&completedonly=1&from=R7) toys were worth a lot.

Damn, collector or no, spending 14k on a toy car is just stupid. for 14k, i would hope to be able to play with it or something, might as well enjoy it, but no. I dirve a 91 Eddie Bauer Edition Ford Explorer with leather interior and much custom work done to it, and at the most I have paid about 10 grand for everything for my REAL car. He still spent 4k more than me on a toy car. I bet he is American. Hell, I'm American, and if I ever saw him, I would punch him in the lip and snag his wallet. Think of what other countries think when they see us Americans dropping 14k on a toy car!

Sorry for getting mad, but it is very frusterating that people will spend 14k on a toy car. If you have that much money to spend, than you can buy much better things than that. Something like that you can't do anything with. Man, you can't even hang it on your wall (because you don't want it to get damage from anything, especially since he just dropped 14k for it). I wonder what his friends think of that. The only thing you can do with something like that is stare at it and stare at it some more, and show your friends how big of a dork you are for dropping 14k when you could buy a real mustang for that price (my uncle bought a 99 mustang for 18k, you can get a gt for 30k) and somebody said he spent 30k in the past month, he could buy a mustang gt, but instead he had toy cars and baseball cards.

I collect games, but the only game I have sealed, I have a second copy of, so It's not like I let everything sit, I am sure I am like every one else here that collects and actually plays the games I buy. Granted, it is hard to play 400 games, but I do try, believe me I do.

I didn't mean to get mad, well I kind of did, but that is too much to spend on collecting purposes.

Wow, thats cool.



. . . . I guess you guys never follow the toy car market. redlines = $$

I'll leave it up to you guys to figure out what redlines are, because I'm not going to tell you

It's all about da tires. ;)

You guys think 14k is bad? A few years ago, an auction for an old hot wheels redline (based off an VW Camper Van) went to about $72,000. :eek 2:

I took a look at some of the other stuff this person won. More redline Hot Wheels, baseball cards from the 30s, etc. Seems like that must be one serious collector.

For those who don't follow vintage toy collecting, it's crazy. Stuff like Hot Wheels, G.I. Joes, Barbies, etc from that time in mint condition can go up to astronomical prices.
