Welcome back collectors. You
know how hard it is sometimes to find the Hot Wheels castings your
looking for , either the stores in your area dont bring new mixes ,
either you get to them to late and other collectors get them , or
even worse they are taken by the employees who sell them in different
ways after . Well if you find yourself in one of the situations
mentioned , you will want to look for different ways to get what you
want.
The obvious choice will be
to buy them from e-bay , thats the place where you can find almost
everything and thats the place where they will get eventualy if they
are taken by anyone whos only interest is to make money , to sell
them. But this way is also the most expensive , many time the prices
are raised to high for what many castings worth , but if you dont
lack money then all is good.
The other way is to try and
make use of those doubles you have gathered along the way and trade
them with other collectors. This choice is very good for both sides
of trading , because it helps both of you to get castings you could
not find in the stores , without spending extra money.
Trading is not always that
perfect , getting involved with the wrong peoples might get you in
bad situations where you can loose the cars you wanted and the cars
you had for trade , so it is always good to read the feedback of that
particular collector you want to trade with if it comes to online
trading , thru the post offices. If it's about hand to hand trading ,
meeting with the collector in person then it is alot more easier ,
because you can see the actual conditions of the castings you want to
trade for.
I had my share of both bad
and good trades. The bad trade came from online situation , where i
never met the collector in person , i sent him my part of the trade ,
but he never sent me his part , you can see all about it HERE. The
last trade i made was a good one , i met with the collector in person
and i changed the Super Treasure Hunt '67 Chevelle SS 396 for the '11
Dodge Charger R/T , both from 2012.

It is only my 3rd
Super Treasure Hunt for 2012 , so i'm far away from completing the set
, but i like the casting , i like that artwork on the card , the
conditions of the blister and car and i'm happy for the trade.
Thank you for reading and i
hope you find it enterteining. Have fun and enjoy the hobby.
***How was your last trade ?
