Beat the Scalpers!

Having trouble finding Super Trea$ure Hunt$?  Read on.

Scalpers have long been the bane of Hot Wheels collectors.  Scalpers can be defined as someone who shows up right as the shelves are being stocked, someone who might have an employee connection in a store, or possibly the scalper is an actual employee of a store that carries Hot Wheels.  No matter the circumstance, a scalper is someone who cleans the shelves of anything valuable every chance they get.  This means if you have a dedicated scalper in your area, you might have a hard time finding new releases, variations, and treasure hunts.

You can, however, beat the scalpers and possibly save money at the same time.  How to do this?  Buy an unopened Hot Wheels 72 Car Case.  This will bypass the scalpers, the bin of death, and the hassle of dealing with busy retail stores.  When shopping online, always check to be sure that you are getting unopened and unsearched cases, find out what the shipping will be, what forms of payment they take, and the reputation of the seller.


So what do you do with the extra Hot Wheels that you may not have been looking for?  Try your hand at customizing.  Trade them at a local Hot Wheels club or with members of our message board.  Give them away as gifts to other collectors or kids.

Shop Ebay for Hot Wheels 72 Car Cases.
