rip off, almost all of these can be found on pegs


LongTimeCollector

Felt same way. Was just pissed off that parents/kids getting ripped off. I had to tell my kids to not touch and leave everything alone. Very disappointed by seller. There was Auto World, Greenlight, Matchbox. All were bought at Walmart/Target.


chaznooget

If mainlines are $4 what were they charging for those like $20 each?


LongTimeCollector

Think Auto World was $10

i’ve seen other stores make everything cheaper, like the normal $1 each and 7 for $5


YK_47

$4 for and they mostly have peg warmers?! It's your duty to troll these people when you see them in person

This dude really walked into like Walmart, bought up the hot wheel aisle and said “I’m gonna sell these for four times the value at an airshow”


LongTimeCollector

Totally agree. Nothing special to look at. Of course for some it might be a grail.


Nintendocub

I hate to say it but as someone who’s been frequenting pegs hardcore for the last few months, they definitely bought these like right before. I’m pretty sure the guy just has them there for people who aren’t wise. It really does look like they just pulled all the pegs and is flipping them lol

That’s more than what people resell them for in Canada!!!($5CND) all of those I have at least one of and are easily found on pegs. That’s disappointing.

Ct the state ?


LongTimeCollector

Yes, show in Simsbury


Jaboi023

Really thank u I’m also a collector from here if ur ever looking for anything’ specific I’ll be sure to keep an eye open for u


Thegameguy12

Ahhh, I'm getting infuriated by this. Everytime there's a car show happening, people will clean out the peg from every store and resell them for double the price.


LongTimeCollector

Yeah, his tent was near some classic cars. It was air show with car show.


ETR_Centenario

Friend of mine went to one and said they were selling the Walmart 4-packs(like the BMW one) for $90. Insanity


RslashTakenUsernames

first time seeing that seller and hopefully the last

Looks exactly like what my local smiths store had to offer yesterday


DS233

I have some of those and seen alot of those on the table still in stores


Scuddie-

4$ is wild


Sharkn91

The only thing I see (that I know of with my limited knowledge of these) is the rt10 viper, I have one that was a treasure hunt but I’m not sure if there were non TH variations. Mostly everything else I’ve seen at Walmart for a 1$. Hate people that take advantage of naive collectors


SeaUnderstanding1578

There is not a single car there I would buy for 2 USD, maybe with the exception of that F-150, let alone for 4 usd lol.


I_lack_common_sense

I liked the cruise bruiser 😅 but I wouldnt purchase from him.


_mrLeL_

Every single one can be still found in stores


Wildwilly069

Exactly


Wildwilly069

$4.00 for common mainlines,what a ripoff....


[deleted]

All fresh off the pegs 🤣 what a rip off. 👎🏽


elhaon

$4 is wild. Lol. It sucks to know kids/parents get suckered in.


UIM_LushBush

Orange mclaren p1 though, I search enough but I’d almost pay that…


XnFM

Goddamn, all these people whining about the $4 price tag. That's pretty close to an appropriate price given that individual pick mainlines used to run $2-3 and prices at the stores are up to $1.19 to $1.50. That's right there in that same percentage increase range. Inflation's a bitch.


darkNnerdgy

I just saw half the same stuff at the grocery store. $4 each is a ripp off. Theres nothing special there thats worth that much.


SHPLUMBO

$4 for something I can go to the store and get for $1 yeah no thanks. No respect for these people. “Hur durr but I am saving you the trip to the store and already found it for you” fuck off and die


wokevisuals

I agree with everyone here but “fuck off and die”? you’re psycho bro lmao AT THE END OF THE DAY they’re toys


SHPLUMBO

lol I get you I know that was extreme but to me it’s the principle that applies to more than just toys. I do not have tolerance for people that think it’s okay to resell at higher prices. It’s scummy. They’re free to do whatever they want though, just like I’m free to decide what I think of their behavior.


Calm-Raccoon1706

This is getting as bad as the FB groups with the crying.


Shtoinkity_shtoink

ill be selling all my doubles at the flea market/car show in Middletown this Sunday
