Greetings, fellow human collectors, how are youâŠ
Iâve been wanting to make this kind of post for a long time, but Iâm not really into buying things on Amazon or those kinds of platforms since I donât understand a lot of it. Recently, I was at an event here in MedellĂn where a guy was selling mystery boxes of different things at his stand, and one box caught my attention because it was Hot Wheels.
So, after thinking about it a lot and with my wifeâs permission, haha I bought this small box of cars. The guy told me he had randomly put 12 cars inside without looking, and that some of them were valuable or at least interesting. He gave me good vibes, so I wanted to support his business.
I wonât tell you exactly how much I paid for the box, but I can say that I sold 2 of the cars and with that I recovered the investment. So, I kept 10 cars in their blisters (that little package they come in). Hereâs everything I got:
The box itself wasnât Hot Wheels branded, just a regular box the guy used to pack the cars, but everything came well protected and wrapped.
As he said, there were 12 cars in excellent condition and from the official brand. The only downside is that I feel like I got a duplicate (well, itâs the same car but in another color).
đTHE ONES I LIKED THE MOST
The first one is from the Star Wars saga. Iâm not a big fan of that genre, but I thought the car was nice and it was actually one of the ones I sold. From what I can see, people really love that universe.
Then there were these 2 from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games (theyâre quite rare since, if you remember, those games didnât actually happen because of COVID). So theyâre a valuable piece of history and remind us of that difficult time for humanity.
Another cool one is from the Fast & Furious saga. I didnât even know there was a series for that, but the car is really nice.
Overall, I really enjoyed this little experiment of feeding my collectorâs itch and not knowing what I would get. If youâre an expert in this, maybe you can tell me if thereâs another car in here thatâs worth preserving long-term. I wonât take them out of the blisters, and maybe Iâll hang them in my study or I might end up giving them to my nephews (but I know theyâll open them).
The world of collecting is fascinating. Iâm not an expert or a fanatic, but I do collect other things, and I really enjoyed this experiment I was able to try. I hope you liked it.
As always, thank you so much for your time, and remember to learn something new, exercise, and search for YOUR HAPPINESS.
BlessingsâŠ
Saludos humanos coleccionistas como estĂĄn...
Hace mucho tiempo querĂa este tipo de post , pero no soy mucho de comprar cosas por amazon o alguna de esas plataformas ya que no entiendo muchas cosas; asĂ que estuve hace poco en un evento aquĂ en Medellin donde un chico vendĂa cajas misteriosas de varias cosas en su stand y me llamo esta la atenciĂłn una caja ya que era de los hot wheels.
AsĂ que despuĂ©s de pensarlo mucho y con el permiso de mi mujer je je je compre esta pequeña caja de coches; el chico me dijo que habĂa metido 12 coches ahĂ sin mirar y que habĂan algunos valiosos o al menos interesantes y bueno me dio buena energia y quise colaborar con su negocio.
No te doy a decir el precio que pague por ella, pero si te digo que pude vender 2 coches de ahĂ con lo que recupere la inversiĂłn de la caja y bueno me quede con 10 autos en sus blister ( es esa cajita donde vienen empacados. Pero aqui te muestro todo lo que me salio:
UNBOXING
La caja no es de hot wheels, es una caja x donde el chico empaco los autos, pero todo venia bien cuidado y embalado.
Como dijo el chico llegaron 12 coches en excelente estado y de la marca oficial que el decĂa, lo malo es que siento que me salio un choche repetido ( bueno es de otro color ).
LOS QUE MAS ME GUSTARON
El primero es ese de la Saga Star Wars, no soy muy fan de este genero pero me pareciĂł bonito el carro y bueno este fue uno de los que vendĂ. Por lo que veo la gente ama mucho este universo.
Los otros fueron estos 2 de los juegos olĂmpicos 2020 ( son muy raros ya que si recuerdan estos juegos olĂmpicos no se hicieron por el covid ), asĂ que son una pieza valiosa de la historia y nos recuerdan esa difĂcil Ă©poca para la humanidad.
Este tambiĂ©n es curioso ya que es la saga RĂĄpido y Furioso y bueno yo no sabia que existĂa una seria de esto. Pero esta bien bonito el coche.
En general me gusto este experimento de alimentar mi ludopatia y no saberme con que me iba a tomar. Ya si eres experto en este tema dime si hay otro auto valioso que pueda preservar por el tiempo. No los voy sacar del blister y quizĂĄs los cuelgue en mi estudio o termine regalandoselo a mis sobrinos ( pero se que los abrirĂĄn ).
El mundo del coleccionismo es interesante, no soy un experto ni un loco , pero si colecciono otras cosas y bueno me ha gustado este experimento que pude hacer. Espero te haya gustado.
Como siempre muchas gracias por tu tiempo y recuerda aprender algo nuevo, hacer deporte y buscar TU FELICIDAD.
Bendiciones...
