Lmfao you guys are smoking something good cause no way this was $15k. I’m surprised at $9800.

Been a joy to watch this portion of your collecting journey, and I’ll stick around for whatever you do going forwards. I’d love to cash in my collection to remove the burden of storing it and to put that cash towards something greater, like the “1:1 scale” you’re looking into. I can see why you’d take the 9.8K, definitely convenient to sell it all to one buyer. Best of luck to you and your family, you’re easy to root for my guy. 🧡

Great video and I totally get why. You’re never going to get the full retail price selling in bulk as compared to selling individually. Plus then factor in your time to do individual sales, it think it was a fair deal for both of you. I’ve sold off a good portion of my collection this year too. It’s a way to continue as a collector without getting bogged down hoarding the past.

@DieCashCars

Exactly…definitely a relief to have a clean slate

I mean you know what your collection is worth, as long as your happy with what you're getting paid is all that matters.

Life takes priority and its good you have the strength to do that. I would not be able to and I hope I will not be forced by circumstances in the future to sell my collection!

As long as you and the buyer agree on a price. It’s your call. No judgment here. Really do enjoy your channel. Hope things w the family workout. What kind of sports car did you get? I finally got my Mustang GT/CS a few years back. Love it! I’m getting more into custom work on hot wheels. Although I’m starting to find more interest in the vintage lines from the late 60s and the 70s. Cars from when I was a kid. Stay safe! Happy for you.

GL to you and yours as well! 🙏

$9800 is a fair price for both the buyer and seller. When an entire collection is sold at once, of course it would be less than if sold one at a time. However, the amount of time and labor involved in selling a collection this size is daunting. In my opinion, better to do what you did. We collect because we enjoy the hunt and like the cars. These cars are a lot like jewelry for us collectors. You got a fair deal.

@@DieCashCars I hear that, and also the time, work and expense to ship out individual items to separate buyers. But lots of choice pieces in that lot!

9,800 seems pretty low, I would've paid that lol but if it's something you are happy with that's all that matters. Can't wait to see the 1:1 scale you choose.

Look, I have been collecting since I was a punk kid in the late 70's. I never left the hobby, nor sold my "entire" collection. During military service abroad, I didn't collect, but while in the states, regardless of what city I was stationed, I made certain I hit the stores, shops and flea markets. When i get tired of the hobby, I simply take a break. Again, I have never sold my "entire" collection, why? Because I collect "WHAT I LIKE!" I don't chase "chase pieces"(Super Treasure Hunts, Treasures Hunts, White Lightning, Ultra Reds and so on)! I have cars that cost me a dime from '78, '79 and '80 and I have cars that cost me $200 that i have also. I said all that to simply say this: Super Treasure Hunts, Treasure Hunts, White Lightning, Ultra Reds and RLC are nice to have, but some of my favorite cars cost me less than a dollar! I collect the '55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser, '67-'69 Camaro, '68 Mercury Cougar, '83 Chevy Silverado, Surfin' School Bus, Drag Bus and a few more casting and I try to collect any new releases that come about. That's another thing, collect from "NOW", meaning if you start to collect your favorite casting and it is released twice or more this year, then collect it from that point forward, while trying to collect the older castings. If you awake daily and how well your day went is determined by how many Supers or chase pieces you found or didn't find, then this hobby isn't for you. Sorry to be so blunt, but trust me, in the long run, you will end up being miserable and dumping your collection, why? Because you were collecting for the wrong reasons! COLLECT WHAT YOU LIKE AND BE HAPPY!

It’s sad for all of your cars to go but, it’s what we collectors will have to do some day. Love your channel, and will love even more for your collection to build back up.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😀👊

I've had to do the same, that's why I have opened alot of cars so when I do sell parts of collection I still have the doubles opened to keep

I could never sell my collection...parts of it maybe, but the whole dang thing, nah! As a collector since 1977 and a diorama builder since about 2009 it would be very difficult for me to do. I'm planning on leaving my collection to a homie and his sons when i pass! He doesn't know that though.

It'll be fun seeing you build from scratch. I'm sure that's content some newbies to this hobby are looking for.

I do believe $9800 is a bit too low. I felt like $15000 should've been a fair offer considering the condition and how long it would take to collect all your pieces. If the buyers don't add the value to all the gas and time you spent then you need to add it.

You have got to be kidding. You only got $9800 for your collection?!? This coming from the person who focuses on how much everything is worth. You sold everything for 1/3 of your collections real value?!? This makes no sense. So either HWs aren't really worth that much... or your wife told you to sell everything ASAP... or she was leaving. And all this coming from the guy who has a channel whose sole focus was on the "value" of his collection. Very ironic.

Definitely not getting top of market pricing, but as with any lot sale there has to be incentive to buying. So gotta take that into account… On top of that…Life happens and I addressed that.

It’s exactly because diecast cars, especially hotwheels, aren’t worth as much as these walnuts think. There’s no investment. There’s no portfolio. It’s toy cars that are made in the hundreds of thousands and millions. This whole channel has been nothing but a circle jerk of “iTs jDm BrO” acting like the little $1 car they got is going to pay dividends. Yes, there are pieces that command prices, but this dude had a whole box of mainline 22bs thinking it’s gonna be worth anything. With any market, this is considered a straight loss. Even if they for 1/1 the price of their collection it’s still breaking even, and that didn’t even happen. This channel really had dipheads going to the store thinking they’re gonna win the lottery lmfao

Now you don’t have to worry about running out of space to display your diecast (at least for the time-being).

Good luck with your future and look forward to you building your collection back up with all the exciting new castings that Hot Wheels bring out each year, I do hope I never have to go through this situation, but you never know what life brings from day to day and year by year, I to have a pretty large collection, around 4000 pieces, all stored in containers unfortunately as nowhere to display, but i hope to do it one day

The nice thing about collecting is you can always restart your collection thats the fun thing about being a collector

I would keep one of each casting of my vintage redlines and blackwalls and sell most everything else

I’ve only been collecting for like 3 months (started with my kid) but the story behind the Gold EK9 is so cool.

I always tell those who question my hobby (especially my kids and wife): Hot Wheels is money in the bank. I'm not saying necessarily profit. I am saying that, in the end, you can get as minimum, as much as you invested in the hobby, if you maintain a careful balance of subjects (curating), mint quality, packaging and continuity (amount of years collecting). Money that you didn't spend on Hot Wheels, you could have end up wasting it on whatnot (booze, partying, useless stuff and gadgets that you can't resell, etc.). Now that money is in your collecting room waiting for you to convert it to cash whenever you need it, as you now, and many others have proven. So, congrats on your sale, enjoy life and always discover new hobbies that excite you and your family.

best of luck bro!! I've been contemplating selling my "extras" collection off as well.. To get a Tesla.. 🤔🤫💯

I would sell off just about all Post 1985, & likely for pennies on the dollar. The rest would be easy to manage. Collecting was much more fun when the cars left the blister & could be rolled around... & much easier to store too!

According to my numbers setting away the money wall you're getting approximately $1.45 per car on all the others...in my opinion not a good deal...but sometimes we have to take tough decisions, I've been in that position also... good luck and enjoy your new ride!!!
