Hey man, I totally understand. I'm pretty much self employed (I work with my father doing construction) so I know what it's like to need the extra $$$. I plan on blowing out alot of my non-essential items from my vast toy collection here very shortly.......I'm going to do a major downsizing...(I'm keeping my Star Wars collection,diecast,slot cars, and a few other minor things) all of the $$$ will pretty much go to paying bills,repairing 1:1 cars, and taking care of lifes other needed things......somewhere in the middle of all of that I want to peel off enough $$$ to build my table and begin working on my layout. :lol:Captain Fred said:Thanks guys!
I love & collect slotcars, but when I saw what these might go for I decided to let them go. Money has been so tight since I stepped down from a supervisor position at my old job. They also cut my pay substantially, cut my hours and took away my full time status. I've been lucky to find something else that I can make more money at, but the new job won't be in full swing until the middle of this month.
I was extatic to find them, but I actually prefer the newer style track anyway. I typically would have kept the cars, but I have 2 kids about to start school. Clothing, glasses, dentist visits, the 1:1 cars needing attention, we really need the extra supplement right now. I'm thinking about liquidating some of my newer stuff too.
The set does appear to be complete. There is still some paperwork in the box, but no instructions. I tested the cars on my other track, but I don't know enough about how to hook everything up. I don't wanna break or fry anything by hooking it up wrong.roadrner said:Watch out, people will kill for that Charger. One day I hope I can step into a pile like that. Is the set complete? Looks great! Congrats.rr
Yep, maybe when things pick up a bit I can get some newer stuff like the F&F series or some new series 7s or 8s. I would love to upgrade my track, but the toys have to take a back seat right now. I have over 300 slotcars, so even if I let some go I will still have plenty to race with.TX Street Racer said:Hey man, I totally understand.

Know what you mean, have done that more than once. I'm in the process of downsizing my collection and focusing on AFX MTs and non MTs as my primary collectible. Dumping Tjets and the like, will keep some of the newer TYCO & LL magnet cars for the kids to run and keep buying the stuff coming from RC2/JL. Next will be to scale down the track. The way it is now, she's not gonna fit when the basement is finished off.micyou03 said:I hav about 300 slot cars. I certainly don't need all those. I keep buying what I like at the time knowing I can sell some when i want something different. I have even gotten sick of a car, sold it, wished I still had it and bought the same kind again.
