Ferrari Collection Mega Sale - 1:18

Hello everyone,

Here is the promised update to the very popular recent post about an inherited Ferrari collection. PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST CAREFULLY.

This is a massive collection and I spent 3 hours Friday night with the help of my gf numbering, inventorying, taking pics, and doing pricing research on 100 of the 1:18 models. My approach to pricing was to find as many cited prices as I could online, sold and unsold, and basically knock the price down 10% - 40% depending on how much info I could find on them. I will try my best to prioritize offers from people who have already messaged me via chat and expressed interest in specific models. That being said, it would be super super helpful if everyone could follow the below process to better allow me to be efficient in managing this:

Pictures: Every model has a sticky note. The top left denotes the Item # in my spreadsheet which makes it a lot easier to quickly search through the inventory for me. The top right denotes the size (1:18 for this post, a little redundant but just in case it isn't obvious at times). The middle is the asking price for the item. Again, i know nothing about this stuff and have done my best to quickly research and come up with the most better-than-market-price I could find. This DOES NOT include shipping, purely the asking price of the item. I am going to be honest, I am going to be lazy about the pictures - PLEASE TAKE A CAREFUL LOOK at the picture of the models you are interested in. These are not staying at my house, so it is a major hassle to take more pics of individual models. I did my best to denote any important info on models that had blemishes, open boxes, melted parts or rubber bands (only a handful out of 100) in my spreadsheet so if any of the models you are interested have any needed additional info for you to make a good purchasing decision I will let you know in advance per my notes.

Pricing: Again, I did my best to come up with better-than-online-pricing for every individual model. IMPORTANT: These are asking prices. I may be willing to negotiate a little on them for members of this group, but if something is listed for $200 please do not offer me $25. Just fielding the inquiries alone from the much less organized post I made prior has been a lot, and I am doing my best to price aggressively enough that it is a very good deal at the asking price already.

Shipping: Based on some research I've done, I am planning to use Pirate Ship to ship via USPS which offers international shipping to 180 countries. Pirate Ship has a shipping cost calculator. BEFORE YOU REACH OUT, please go to pirate ship and use the shipping cost calculator to estimate shipping from Dallas Texas, Zip Code 75201 and include that in your own estimated total cost to purchase your items. The prices in the pics do not include shipping and I will not calculate in advance for you until you are ready to purchase. The models will ship individually and will be shoebox size which USPS can send me for free. Once you give me your info I can confirm an exact price to print the label and ship via USPS. I am using the "USPS Shoe Box" (14 7/8" x 5 1/4" x 7 3/8" size) as I have ordered a bunch for free that should arrive this week. For weight estimate, an F1 car weighed 1.7lbs and a non F1 car weighed 2.5lbs when I checked so please use these dimensions and weight info in your shipping estimate you do for yourself.

Payment: This part might be the hardest part for me and you as a buyer. As I've mentioned before, I have a busy job and not a ton of free time, therefore I am leaning heavily towards making this as easy on me as possible. For DOMESTIC orders I would prefer zelle, but could also do venmo or paypal. I will require you to pay in full for your orders prior to shipping out. I know I am new to this group and this requires a lot of trust on your end. As much as you can believe a random on the internet, I am not scamming, I do not want 99% of these models, and will absolutely honor all purchases. For International orders, I can accept paypal only. I have never done any of this before so if anyone has any payment solutions that they can suggest in their order that allow for better trust / escrow type of solution i am open to discussing. All of this being said, I would greatly appreciate the first few buyers vouching for me once their orders arrive if I am able to make some sales out of this subreddit to ensure trust for the group.

Minor Note: I will be on vacation Sept. 28 - Oct. 5 so expect delays in responses and likely no orders being shipped out that week.

Now the cool part: Here are the links to 99 models (decided to keep the Miami Vice Testarossa for myself from the old post) all size 1:18. If you have models you are interested in, please include the ITEM # IN THE TOP LEFT OF THE STICKY NOTE in your chat message to me about purchasing them.

Happy Hunting!

Minor Update: I will be removing cars from the pics as they are sold to better provide a live view of what is available.

Need Help Identifying these 3

the yellow truck has 1/64 scale, so I assume that's the scale for it and the red fire truck(?) but added a quarter for scale. red truck has a 1994 copyright on it and is hot wheels. tiny green truck has hot wheels logo on window, and it's no optical trick, it is like a 5th the size of the yellow truck. thanks in advance for help! :)
