You are absolutely correct. Those are all no good. Terrible in fact....that is why you need to send them directly to me as soon as possible. I will give them all a happy place to live INSIDE my house for as long as they want. Way to critical
I think that if you refinish these cars would be a bad idea, leave them as survivor cars. Obviously you are a snooty money making collector and these are beneath your level of collectibility. I wish they would have stayed in the barn another 40 years.
I whole heartedly agree. I couldn’t believe he said he’d have that blue silver shadow re-painted. Just sell them to people who don’t need C9.5 cars. When you restore them you’re ruining them for most collectors and you’re killing the redline business by removing what are great pieces to a lot of us.
Snooty = NO! Actually very nice and friendly. Money making - not much but I would make a ton if I let go of my collection, no plans to do that yet. Collectors love Hot Wheels because of their beauty but what makes the hunt way more exciting is that you can potentially find a valuable car for a bargain. Its no different than when you go down to the Target store at opening hoping to score a Super Treasure Hunt for a dollar and its worth $75. Money wise no one buys and collects Hot Wheels with the purpose of loosing money! Every single collector wants their cars to keep their value or go up, up, up! Enjoy the hunt.
As a 14 year old redline collecter it feels insane to me to hear you call all these cars that would be some of the nicest in my collection poor or ok condition lol
Hey wait till you collect for 50 years and buy and sell for thirty years. I talk every day to collectors who are so picky that they won't even buy a blister pack unless it looks like it came out of a time machine, and even then only if no one has ever touched it.
@@toycarcollector I hear you there. There is a guy who has ALL of his carded and loose Hot Wheels from 68-72 or later were sealed after they were PSA graded. He will not take an item or keep it I should say unless it's a 8.5 or higher. If there is the tiniest nick or scuff on the blister or ANYWHERE on the car to him it's crap. But then again he has cars worth more money than I can imagine.
I hear ya... I live in europe... no redlines whatsoever. Best I can get is severly beat up cars that go for silly money; a custom cuda with missing everything (hood, glass, wheels, broken base) will cost me around 15,- IF i can find one.
Sadly they were so dirty I could not even get them clean. Worst I have ever seen. Rule of thumb is if a collection has been in a wheel case the cars are very used. If the case is a stack tray or flat case then probably nice cars.
@@velladune1 I have 3 of them race sets 2 MINT in a box...Once in awhile I play with them... There's a video on TH-cam about that set "Silver Circuit set its called !
Thank you so much for your fun videos..I love them...can you tell me where I can get some of my beat up cars restored. Have had them for a long time and would love to get them fixed up.
I would love them all... Really.... Why do you even collect if you don't like any red lines. I would love to have these... original not repaired and painted...
It is exciting, this collection was full of crap! What I mean by that is I collect as close to mint condition as possible and so many of these were damaged. But this collection also had one of the most valuable cars Hot Wheels ever made, the Purple Olds 442. That car sells in the $10 to $12 thousand dollar range. And the guy said he left the collection in an "out building" but barn sounds better.
I just now watched your video in 2021! Your idea of bad cars and mine are sooo... different I would have loved to bought your ..bad cars...they were in a barn for 40 years. You said! This was a good mine to me. ..wow
The hobby of collecting Redlines is deep and wide and no two collectors the same. I've been hot on the trail of collections for over 30 years and have attended nearly 60 conventions. Every car in every condition appeals to someone. I like smokin mint condition for my core collection. Thanks for watching. Ps this collection cost $6,500 when I bought it. There were several interested buyers that I had to out bid.
I just knew it was going to be a 442 when you mentioned something really good. I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now. And I've finally determined that you must of been an auctioneer at sometime in your life with the way you describe the cars.
Wow. All those ones you talk about repainting look awesome. Why would anyone remove the original finish and paint it? Repainting for me is only for those missing 70% or more of paint and need extensive work. Then again, i'm no expert. Only a guy who appreciates the history of what these cars went through.
Well, the barn is not exactly the ideal place to store Hot Wheels, but that was a pretty good find imo. Many of these beg for restoration wich i'm a fan of, as it gives these oldies a new leash of life, unless you _want_ them to look old for some reason. Thanks for showing these, it's always fun to find old Hot Wheels.
I have a 1977 matchbox combine and i lost my house in the Oregon fire but me and my bro have lots of hotweels and matchbox so when we grow up we could give them to you and my name is angel and im only 10
Hey Dave, I'm looking to buy collections like that myself. How would you suggest I start? What would be a good average price for a collection like that? Love the light green Ferrari and Cord.
To get collection you have to put your name out there in places such as Craigslist for Hot Wheels Wanted. Also make sure people know you are a collector. Price wise it is whatever the seller is happy with. You won't get anything cheap like you could before the internet. But you can pay half price most of the time. Then you have to do the work to sell the cars you do not want and that is no small task. I can pay more than most because I have a very strong buyer base who love to spend money and avoid the disappointments you get on eBay.
@@toycarcollector Thanks Dave, I appreciate it. I got lucky with my first collection. I paid around $500. It has some pretty good stuff in it, so I'm told. How about a near mint purple T Bird with a white interior, or a red Indy Eagle with a White interior, or a red enamel heavyweights fire truck. A mint aqua Beach Bomb, and a purple Indy Eagle with a black base were also in it. Now, those are the better cars in the collection. Most of my stuff is blue, green, and aqua, but the cars are in I'd say excellent plus shape. Really enjoy watching your videos and the info Dave, James.
Nice collection. How much did you give for it? At 7:35 you called the car a Cheetah, but only a handful of them were not marked Python. I cringed when the Rrrumblers hit the pavement! You also did not show us the Skyshow car, those are rare. A sweet find, so congrats!
You're correct in saying that these cars look awful.. especially that mustang. Better quickly get rid of that mustang, by sending it to... say... me... I could fix it right up!
wow thats a great collection...some of those cars you would restore i would keep as is in my collection...also...that cutter thing is a glass cutter...you use the wheel to score the glass and then snap it...the one end has a ball that helps break the glass...im sure there is a video you can see how to use it...are any of the beaters for sale? im going to check your site
@@DreamHachi 72, I've had (since 1996) 18 67-72 c10 and about a dozen 73-79. I've held on to this one because it's almost identical to the one I learned to drive in.
I have my Hot Wheels, all Redline I think, from the 60s and early 70s. They have always been stored inside and seem to be in excellent shape. How do I sell them for what they are worth?
Typically the seller sets the price. They have access to plenty of value information on the internet and much of the time the seller thinks the cars are worth way more than they are because it is impossible for a non collector to understand the value of condition. Every little flaw must be understood to arrive at street value. Keep in mind single cars sell at retail and collections sell at wholesale like any product.
I just don't know how you do it you always seem to find redlines all i ever find are 90's cars and up .to find all of that is just unbelievable...CRAZY..
What you are saying is true, they were meant to be played with. But now that most were played with the ones that were not played with have very high value to collectors and those that are played with have much less value. Some kids beat the poo-poo out of their toys and some took care of them and both enjoyed their toys. I have been collecting for over 35 years so naturally I'm want the very best I can find.
I've seen Hot Wheels cars like this in just about as bad, if not worse condition at the Goodwill store that I work at. Some of the cars I've seen in worse condition even have a missing wheel!
They were design to be raced over and over So it doesn't matter if you restore them..You re gonna die and they gonna go to someone else or whatever ..Get your race play time out them NOW!
@@leewilson9890 I respect your opinion 100%. Hot Wheels were a major part of my childhood and I made sure to play with them until the wheels fell off. But having been an owner of a vintage toy and Collectibles store from 1985-2002 I had customers try and sell me Hot wheels that have been restored and pass them off as original. I understand the hobbyist who enjoys the restoration process,but not those who restore for the purpose of fraud.
Cool video! It's crazy in this day to still find collections like this. I don't have a big Redline collection, but what I have I cherish and I remember where I got most of em. Money talks when you start pursuing those old cars, lol! Keep on collecting!!
Dude honestly you say there terrible but what u need to know is they have been sitting in a barn outside and non of the cars in the first case the paint is bad dude don’t restore them there in good okay shape you restore them the value Goes down none of them are in terrible shape besides the twin mill the rims need to be straightened 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇯🇵👍
Is there any cars you throw away that cant be saved? If so I can possibly use them for my upcoming Junk Yard Diorama im making! I do have cars but of course I dont want to ruin or destroy these cars I have! Pls comment back if you see this.
Back in the seventies my father would bring me home Hot Wheels like every night . From the Shell gas station. They gave him out for free you know when you get fuel. I had all your cars I destroyed them how's the night I used to throw them on the concrete ground and bust them all up I don't know why I did that maybe I was secretly a Johnny lightning fan😂😂😂😂😂😂🤔🤔.
