How'ed I do? Got a weekend off and did the peg running thing for diecast but there wasn't much to intertesting and well, I think I had better luck stopping at a few yard sales. Really, I don't now much about the Slot car Collectibiles, anything rare or terribly sought after here? The one says Tyco on it, so I guess they all are. The Willys there, does have a felt tip pen mark on it but other than that, they are all in great shape. Anyway for twenty-five cents each, I didn't think I could go wrong- I still need to invest in that Slot track.

Well, I'll give you $3.00 bucks for the lot. NOT. Good deal for a TYCO fan. :thumbsup: rr

Sheesh, that is great for 25 cents each....
Building a track is half the fun.
Have a blast running them.

Your "Willys" is a 1940 Ford 5 window coupe (glows in the dark) from the "tyco Sparkin'Hotrods set!(Its stable-mate is a 57 chev with red lightning bolts. The cars had a special closed end tire that held a flint that dragged across sandpaper lodged in the guardrail. Very cool effect!) Everything you picked up is certainly common enough @ 5.00 to 10.00 each on Eb@y. All are decent tyco cars and handle well enough for sure! I sure wish I would get that lucky once in a while! Way to GO! :thumbsup:

I always kick myself in the butt later, now I'm thinking I should have bought the track to- kinda always wanted one but ,,,,,,,,guess I blew it again.

Look around at thrift shops for track sets.
While not as common as they once were you can still find Tyco sets at them once in awhile.
For as little as $5.00 a set.
