[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole Hot Wheels are S scale, so you might check around on an S scale forum. Since they are sitll being mass produced, most Hot Wheels are worth no more than their original purchase price. [/quote] S Scale !!? I beg to differ on that. Most Hot Wheels are for HO scale,though they can be used in ANY scale. Your local library should have some books on the prices for the cars. One word of caution,if your grandmother should want to sell them,I recommend that she do not put extreme prices on them, as most collectors will NOT pay high prices. For "high prices" the item must be in MINT condition,NO scratches,nicks,etc on the cars,in original boxes(if any) and an original production piece. If you look at the wheels on the cars,the "originals" had a red line around the wheels. There are many books that deal with Hot Wheels,and this is just a sample of what they have to say about the value of them. I was at an antique store a few weeks ago,and in did see quite alot of Hot wheels and Matchbox cars for sale,though the prices that the people wanted for them was outragious.The lowest price I saw was $20.00,and the highest was over $150.00. Another example was at the same place,and a guy had some Hot wheels and Matchbox cars for sale,asking $30.00 for each car, then reduced the price to $14.99. Since seeing these cars for the first time 6 months ago,the cars ARE still there,and none of them have been sold. Yes a value on a collectable car can be great,though for what you maybe wanting for it is another.
