Yep.. books are your friend.. and having allot of them.. But you have to realize what the books says a value for a particular car is, is not what someone is willing to pay for it.. There are a number of hot wheels clubs and even a hot wheels registry. (online) But if you cars are just from the 90's, chances are they aren't worth anything now.. and typically if you have a full set.. (the year cars 12 in all) can go for much more then just a single car. Also damaged cards.. can detract the buyer.. Treasure hunts or (TH) for short.. can bring about $10 - $15 dollars.. They use to bring much more, but I've noticed a drop in prices.
 

Type in google----- texas hot wheels
 

I used to laugh at you guys until I started seeing these things sell for incredible prices at flea markets. Rare, not rare, red line on wheels, no red line, they all sold. Amazing. Your 90's will sell too, I bet...
 

I was a diecast collector for years ...about 3 years ago I had a house fire and lost over 30,000 diecast cars....I rebuilt some of the collection but not nearly what I lost....If you know what to lookk for diecast cars can be pretty valuable to other collectors....like anything esle you have to do your homewoirk though....

As far as a site for values...try this South Texas Diecast - Hot Wheels Casting Guide / Checklist/ Price Guide

Its not all emcompassing but will give you a genral idea of values...Good Luck....Shorty
 

Hi All, Just snoop'en around and found this thread.
I agree with Shorty Buckshot, any time I look for a value I go to South Texas Diecast
I still pick up a few now an then. I have maybe 1500 or so not worth much but hay I like'em.
 

Just as anything else eye candy always helps and of course quality.

A great site to look up all the cars I still have , tho most are pretty beat up & from the 1977-1982 range.
