Buying and Selling

I’ve learned that in the buy and resell business, that you have to get in early and out quick. Or, if you have the patience, you can wait out the rush and grab up the items that show up late in the game by those trying to cash in on the high prices being paid for what many believe to be rare and hard to find, especially in good shape or in the original containers, etcetera. This is especially true when it comes to old toys. case in point, the matchbox red-liner cars from the 1960’s. One that comes to mind is the Volkswagen Beach Bomb. Originally starting around $500.00 for one in mint condition in original packaging, and getting that price, has now suffered the mass dumping on the market by those collectors in need of cash during these hard times, causing the prices to dip to an truly affordable price where some can be had for under a $100.00, and even half that if your lucky.
