$94 for 6 AFX cars? Which one is really rare?

The blue Datsun truck only sold regularly around 30-40$ on the Bay

The Bug VW in white is also a rarely seen car and probably worth the same amount as the blue pick-up

So quite worth the money if you are a collector (assuming you don't already own them :-) )

OMG Coach! I just realized my slot shelf contents are worth over $100K easy, and that's just the track......

I just came across this one! Imagine if there were cars included..... Wonder what the listing fee was on this one? And it's still up!

Coach, let me guess....hmmh....it's both loopings of course, LOL !!!

That guy is plain stupid not to have cancelled the auction immediatly after he puts it up, as its obviously a typo when he put it up.

Or maybe the Houston floods flush his brain away, down the drain

here ya go coach,
The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the minimum bid or reserve amount.

just a misprint? I dunno, wouldn't you notice your listing off a bit.
Maybe he hung the golden carrot waiting for a retarded bidder, then after being emailed how wrong his price was he pulled it?

Man, they pulled the auction and I was about to bid. The value was sentimental. Childhood memories.....priceless!

Nothing rare here. Three of them are rated 5 (very common) and three are 4 (common). The Blue Truck, the White Bug, and the Red Bronco are the 4's (common) while the others are 5's. I agree they are worth the money to a collector if they are complete and intact. Figure on a good $20 - $25 each (IMO) for a total 'worth' of about $135. :wave:

eBay's policy in NEVER to let you 'decrease' your fee once you have posted the listing. You can upgrade and they will charge you more. If you downgrade they will NOT refund money. :freak:

I bought a lot of my Eldon 1/32 cars that were in box sets before shipping prices went crazy. Got some good deals on cars this way but, now just have boxes of track sitting in garage and in the future will be taking down tons of cleaned 1/32 Eldon track for a huge ho layout on my 4 existing tables.

Keeping all my cleaned Eldon track (took me forever) for the kids to floor race 1/32 cars when they get older. The Eldon track is fast down and fast up.

Anyone in the Omaha, Lincoln, Gretna, Elkhorn Nebraska area need some nice track that needs to be cleaned up? Cheap! :wave: Real Cheap...save it from the dumpster...doom is spelled out soon for my array of black plastic garage dweller friends from the past.

I don't want to dump it but......Bob
