Cape Talk

Of trading Hot Wheels. And if I ever want to trade, those are the ones I go for. So let's go back. You're talking about collectible and you're talking about trade. In terms of values, could you give me an idea of a collectible one? How expensive can it be? It can be quite expensive. I'm talking on the reseller market here. Okay, okay. So a standard, okay, let's actually go back. Hot wheels come in a main card, which is your small packaging. Then it goes.

Into premium, which is your bigger carded. It's the same scale, it's 64, 1 to 64, but slightly bigger. Yes, and it's got metal, metal base, and rubber wheels. So it's a bit more premium, you're paying a bit more for that. But if we're talking just about the main carded cars, the standard card, you buy these for about 57, 58 rand, depending where you're shopping. Okay. But if you, for instance, buy a super treasure hunt or find a super treasure hunt, which is a more rare hot.

Wheel, they can go for easily three, four, five thousand rand. No, no, yeah, depending on the model, I'm going to use the example of the Ferrari F40. Yeah, Ferrari and Mattel re-signed their licensing agreement because a few years we didn't have Ferrari in Hot Wheels. I see the licensing had expired, so it came back and they introduced the Ferrari F40 as like the super treasure hunt to be right. Okay, if you found that car, you paid 56 Rand for it.

You can sell it today for about four or five thousand rand. Are you kidding me? Yeah. No, no, it's mad. I could chat to you all day. But in closing, I think I got to bring in the element of me doing my general shopping when I go to my local retailer and I see a Hot Wheels there. Yes. Like, how do I know should I be buying this or not? What's the telling sign that it's going to be a collectible? Okay. I just think it's more the advice.
