As I was strolling down the rows of venders ,I came across a table with a small box sitting on it. I looked at the box and it read "WHOLE BOX" $.....
don't want to say price just yet. I looked in box and found a few slots and parts I jumped for joy ,but then felt bad as I walked away with box in hand. :( Due to I thought someone got ripped in the end. Put it this way it didn't hurt me none in the pocket to buy the box.Here is a few pics so you can see what a few slots in the box looks like.Boy I Love end of year deals :cool:

Wow, what a haul. That's what I call a happy start to the New Year. I always seem to be the guy who asks the vendor "do you have any slot car stuff"? ... minutes after a guy walks away with a box full of goodies like this. My timing must be off or something... I GOTTA change my browsing habits.

Aaaah, if it could happen to me just one single time in Switzerland, where there are NEVER Ho slotcars for sale anywhere :(

Anyway, I could be interested in some of your doubles, just let me know :thumbsup:

Dang -- now that is nice.

Love those Petty Chargers -- I have one myself but it is a shelf queen.

Nice way to bring in the New Year! Some great finds.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

Where did you find these? Toy show? Flea market?

Great find!!

Marty

Marty,
It was a flea market find at a local flea market near my parents.

as for doubles I will post all in the manufactors board this week.
Have to post there because I also sell lots of slot items for a profit.
so Im classified as a buisness .

roadrunner,
I have 5 of the petty charger.there is 4 variations to this car. I love factory cars. So many to collect.So many $$$$$$$$

GB,
The slot-goddess smiles on you! Congrats!

What a great find. It makes feel better knowing deals like this are still out there.

Wow - THose Petty cars are awesome. Not to mention the Aurora Mach I and the Superbirds even have their wings! Congrats, looks like your year!
Jim

Superbirds???

Gearbuster, you shouldn't feel bad about getting the deal on those cars you got. The person that sold them stated a price and got what he/she asked for. Is it their fault that you have taken the time and effort to educate yourself on the value of these slot cars. No.
I got into this hobby in 1997 and I haven't ever come across a deal like that. I don't have as deep pockets as alot of other collecters/racers do. So when I can, I save money on this hobby.
I've recently started a HO Scale Train layout and having a wonderful time with it. So I haven't been to active on the Slot Car side of things. I've been looking in on this BB and reading a thread or two.
Anyway, great job on the find there. Randy.

It is amazing the wings was still intack on the birds.I have been into slota since 82 and seen the time tjets bottomed out in the market.(Boy those was the good old days.)

OK,how many cheeseburgers do you want for the Mach 1?

twelve,

Not enough cheeseburgers to let me let go of this one.A big Mac Maybe.....HHuummmmm....Naw
