Hot Wheels Purchases from TradeMe

TradeMe is New Zealand's answer to eBay, the online market place for New Zealanders (Kiwi's) to get rid of their old crap in exchange for money. January is a good time of the year to be able to score some bargains, as people realise they have over spent at Christmas and credit card bills need to be paid.

I was able to score a few nice items from the same seller (but also missed out on a few other items I wanted due to competition) and they arrived in the postal system over the weekend.

First, Hot Wheels 100% 56 Merc

A nice looking car that I was interested in as soon as I saw the listing due to it's vintage racing look.

Nice item, another Hot Wheels 100% "0032" Roadster

There is something about 30's cars that tugs at the "heart strings" and I was glad to be able to accept the sellers fixed price offer to get it even cheaper than originally listed.

Finally, from the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame Series Ford Mustang Cobra Jet

Another vintage racing car that I just had to have and I managed to get it for a steal compared to some of the eBay prices I have seen.

All of these items will be opened up and added to the loose collection (with the display cases from the 100% cars finding a new home with "my good friend from the capital city").
