@@Z-40 Well for example I grew up playing N64, if I wanted to buy an N64 and some games today (which should have little to no value compared to the newest gaming consoles/games) it would cost a small fortune. So thats 1 example of how collectors have destroyed markets, don't even get me started on shoe collectors. As if sharing shoes with someone else wasn't disgusting enough, these shoe collectors have inflated shoe markets to the point that buying certain types of shoes are just downright impossible due to the cost and companies creating scarcity with "limited editions" and some collectors buying up the entire release of 1 shoe so they can inflate the price of them.
@@commoncents9732the high prices of old items like the N64 that have become rare is to preserve it, if they would cost little to nothing, no one's gonna keeo them arpund and that's how things "go extinct"
@user-sz3df1ri8i nah he brought it to pawn stars just to show it off. When the episode aired that's when u put it on auction and watch rich people trip over each other to buy it.
I watched another video about nothing but Hot Wheels and this particular VW Bus had an estimated value of $175,000. Unbelievable that's what they said.
@@IJFloreswhat?? So just because someone has money, they are smart? Have you never heard of inheritance, lottery winners, rich b---- kids who are born to rich parents, etc?
58 yrs ago I loved playing with my hotwheels even if their rotating wheel accelerator garage thing was a peice of junk that never worked as shown in the commercials. Like most kids I used the clamp and gravity to propel the cars into a collision down the road.
He never had the intention to sell it, we wanted to get it authenticated and show to the world that he has it, so potentially one of the big time collectors see it and potentially buy it for more
Total insanity for a tiny toy that may very well be worth a lot less in the future once the nostalgia wears off. 100k buys a really nice drivable classic car.
I read some articles about this car just now and now its estimated value hovers around that 150k mark. And to be honest, that toys value is as much as the seller wants it to be aa its only 1 in the world as i know outside the other version the expert talked about. Its like that with all stuff that have only 1 in the world like mona lisa. Value is how much the owner sells it for and like the saying goes. Its not stupid to ask more, its stupid to pay too much
I used to collect Matchbox. Back then, Matchbox were of better quality. Not only that, but were of average cars. Hot Wheels seemed to have quirky cars like a Mustang with a huge engine that is conceals the windshield. Stuff like that. I had 200 cars, some rare in great shape. I gave them to my Nephew when he was visiting to keep him quiet at the time.
Some of these comments are like $100,000 makes no sense for a toy, and I understand the logic. But my uncle collects rare toys and he recently sold one of his toys for $55,000. I don't know the details but I guess it's a real thing that happens 😳
I have a whole basement full of Tonka trucks displayed along the wall. They might not be worth a lot now maybe a few grand or so, but maybe for my grandkids, they could be.
This man is delusional. Rare is rare, but should have accepted 75K. This is an insane amount of money, the reseller said it is around 100K so there is no way he would have gotten more anywhere else
Think about how much rare crap in the world you don’t know about. Pawn stars is great about bringing this stuff to life. I like learning about this stuff that exists but it’s all bs on the show
Like Rick always says if you put it up for sale at an auction there are all kinds of fees you have to pay.So the car may sell for alot but you still have to pay all those fees
Bruce knows all of the biggest Hot Wheels collectors in the world, and they know him. If he ever sells this car, it will be directly to another big collector, and he won't be losing a dime on the deal.
1. Free advertisment on a popular TV show 2. The producer calls him in to 'sell' his hotwheels to Gold and Silver. You know, to make an episode 3. He did but Johnny couldn't afford it but couldn't mention it on the show
Bruce is the Hot Wheels expert in this situation, not Johnny, the toy store owner. Bruce owns the world's premier Hot Wheels collection (a whole lot more than just the cars themselves), his own museum, has written a book about Hot Wheels, and is even considered a consultant to Mattel, the manufacturer of Hot Wheels.
I thought the Shelby Mustangs ( 4 ) made for Mattel execs were the rarest ? As of 2024 there are 5 more beach bombs know to be in existence 1 Blue 1 anti-freeze and 3 unpainted. 🏁🏁 .
tell you what I give you 50 cents each, I'm taking all the risks and it's going to.take up space ,gotta frame it ,handle it ,and it's going to sit......
If you know for a fact that those cars are that old, they may be valuable. But those dates on the bottom of the cars are only the copyright date. That date often appears on later castings of those cars. And if they are not manufactured 55+ years ago, they are likely not to be very valuable, except for specific editions/collectors' models.
You wouldn't have it in your tub of toys. There are only a couple of these exact pink "rear-loading" beach bombs known to exist. It's rarity determines its perceived value in the collector world.

Quick money. Thats why. You get less but You get it instantly. Try finding someone to buy a toy car for 150.000. That could take time People may not have
I disagree if a collector wants that item it's sells fast because of the rarity and there may never be another opportunity sounds crazy but I guarantee it will sell fast and the fact there's only ONE in existence.
This is where the show is a little unrealistic. Who in their right mind would take something that valuable to a pawn shop. The deal was never going to happen.
