It's supply and demand, right now the supply is catching up to demand. That $85 BWF Camaro was on a bad card, but still never thought I'd see one fall below $100 on any card. The Spoilers '69 Charger is in the same boat, used to be a couple hundred bucks, now they are getting around $100 or so and sure to fall with each new listing. Time will tell if the supply dries up and the price starts to go back up. If you're in the market for ANY Street Freaks R18 WLs, get them NOW! 
I suppose the value of any piece is only what an individual seems to place on it. The "gotta have it now's" or GHINS as Puppycat calls them, will always drive up the price of new releases. Remember Surf Rods??? $80, $100 and more for whites. Not even close now. Nash Bridges 'Cudas??? People were paying upwards of $80 last year. I picked one up for $32 a little over a month ago. In a few months those Camaros will be back on the bay, being resold by the poor devils who "had to have it now" and paid $300+ for the thing. And I don't mean to criticize. To each his/her own. I just prefer to wait until the crazies get done before I set my sights on something.. :wave:
:wave:Personally, I can't fathom spending that kind of money on a toy car, regardless of its "Status". The most I have spent on a WL was $30, at a local hobby shop, and that was for the Guns N Roses white tired Vega. Most likely too much, but it was at the time my first and only white tired WL, and I wanted it. Had it been $35 or more, it would still be hanging (I'm not even a Guns N Roses fan).
Here's a thought. When we all leave this planet and can't take these with us, unless the rest of the family knows what you have invested and will pass it on or sell it off, your collection may end up being put out with the rest of the yard sale stuff.

I have made arrangements with friends in the collecting community to take care of the disbursement of my collection and I am responsible for several different people's collections should they pass before me.Dadvball said:

I spend quite a bit of time hitting yard, garage and estate sales. A couple of months ago I picked up a burlap sack full (22 cars) of Redline HotWheels for $5. I don't collect HW but I knew the redlines were probably worth something. Did a little research and posted them on the bay a few at a time. I've sold 17 of the 22 cars for a little over $700. Needless to say, my collection will survive me through my son, who is well aware of the value of these "toys". I gave him permission to sell them when he's 40 .
