hey guys i normally dont post in here, because i collect hotwheels mostly, but ihave 6 slot cars that i am looking to sell, and i was wondering what you think they and the track i have with them is worth.......btw not selling them on here, and actually may not sell them at all. Only thinking about selling to free up some space in the house and because i could use a little extra cash.
The two richard petty cars came as a set and the red 57 and the 40 ford came with the track, i also have a boxed tyco hi-banked corkscrew. They are all in "decent" shape, i think they will all need some contacts, or the little metal things that make contact with the track and maybe new tires, they have been sitting a while, i dont know a lot about the red TRW porsche other than the lights work intermittantly so, i know this web site you guys run with it

and every single one of them works infact the red 57 and black 40 ford are friggin screamers, if the superbird wasnt so long it would kill them all though, it always loses it in the curves, thats why it and the blue 57 are in the best shape, cause i didnt want to destroy them flying off the curves

The cars are all very common........about $10 each. Tyco track is very cheap on the secondary market. Unless you have a lot of desireable pieces (12" curves, 6" curves, 15" straights), you'd see the same stuff at a garage sale or flea market for $5.

Agreed. The 6 cars might bring in $50-$60 when sold all together; toward the lower number if they need tires or work. They are very common cars. Used Tyco track is also inexpensive.

i'll take some pics later of the assembled track, the high banked corkscrew is not well suited to long straights..........you'll see. btw thats about what i figured
