So flicking through thousands of cars on the rack wasnt such a waste of time then. mrghia do you have a regular seller in US? i've checked ebay and some of the prices quoted for shipping are ridiculous.

na mate i only use them as a last resort it averaged about $8.50 postage which wasn't to bad when you get charged on average of $6. where abouts do you live there was a lady i was dealing with that was very good i ended up getting around 90 cars off her. She is located in Brisbane her user eBay name is nwin1 or her eBay store is hot bitchen wheels. I you only want to get internationals carded cars double check the cars from the US at the cars there are all different numbers. the US had 240 cars in the 2010 series where the international cars had 214 of them. Hope that helps cheers Shaun

Stockar and Deora 2 was everywhere on the Sunshine Coast a couple of months ago. Funny how certain cars pop up in places and others don't.

and then maybe head to a pub for a beer and a countery or somethin

This is my kind of thread. I have a little over 3500 Hot Wheels. Here in the States they are 96 cents apiece, during Christmas some places had them for 49 cents. My new favorite is the 72 Gran Torino in Green or Red. I also love the 73 Falcon XB in yellow and Blue. I have alot of Red Line Hot Wheels from the early 70's. I will try and post some pics later.

Recieved my 2 blue XB's today off ebay.

Saves driving around.
