No worries. I just get a little uppity when it comes to newbies asking about Supers right off the bat. I am not a authority or or any kind of scalper police or count police. Supers T- Hunts are manufactured, so called rare items that have the masses seeking for them, but the the REAL cool stuff is vintage pre 80's diecast. All this new stuff is trash that won't be worth anything 6 months after it is issued.BTW, How the hell are you?
Well guess who isnt gonna get a super in their raok if i pull your name. Lol.
Your gonna get sone old beat up 30 year old cars. Thatll learn ya.
Seriously though, there are some really cool supers out that the paint is really nice and anything with RR is always awesome.
I chase em heck yeah. I enjoy the thrill and the cars equally. Also enjoy finding more than one and tradin it with someone that has one i havent found. Makes 2 people happy for the grand ol price of a buck
NoW i also get the same thrill finding an old 1950s lesney or redline in a 5/$1 bucket at the flea market. I think that makes me shake more than anything else.
As far as tips, only thing i can offer is that i have found most of mine first thing in the morning. In my area which seems to differ than many others, they seem to deploy dump bins around 2-3pm. But first thing in morning on my way to work stopping at 2 stores has led me to find a couple.
You need to find the timing for our area and get to know the other collectors in your area. If possible befriend and share/coordinate with them. Better to have them as your friend and trading buddy than your direct competition. Otherwise youll find yourself in a game of one upsmanship which would quickly sap the fun from the hobby of collecting and quickly turn it into just a game to beat the oter guy.
Im new to the hobby meself and am no expert. I stop at stores all different times when im able and sometimes will plan specisl trips to try and coincide with shipments. Ask the employees. I was at a toys r us 2 weeks ago and asked if thu received any of the new hotwheels. I told him they are coming out with new angry birds and scooby doo cars. He said no but i should have a truck come in on wednesday and sai i should come back then.
I did make a special trip that day and they had cases and cases of them. I pulled a new chevelle wagon super tht day. So dont be fraid to ask and always clean up after yourself. Lol. Ive seen my share of grown men make bigger messes than my 20month old tornado.
Just enjoy the hunt and the spoils
Oh and share.
Welcome to the sickness.
