Action Xtreme. Most accurate detail of any sprint car diecasts I own. I also have a Quaker State Kinser version. Not selling it.

Do you think 139.00 is reasonable, I don't, I'm getting a Brad Keselowski championship #2, complete w / the scratches, and or dings if any sustained in final race for 64.99, still in production, won't be here till March sometime, w / 26 detailed, & or moving parts, very, very, detailed, ~ ~ ~ so 139.00 ? , where can one be had for a reasonable $, I'll give you 65.00 for yours ? .. CASH !

Action Extreme ? is that the supplier, w / to get ?

Yo Bestia,



With Die-Casts it's all about how many Casts were made. The less cast produced the more your going to pay. How many thousands of Brads car compared to 300-500 Kinser cars,and how many are still avalable on the market. Serial #'s also play into factor. #001 of 500 will eventually be worth more than #475 of 500. If you really want that car 139.00 is reasonable. Try finding a Bobby Allen 1a or Doug Wolfgang Weikert 29 1/18th scale for under $200.00 you won't, and if you do someone doesn't know or care what they have or what they are worth to a collector.

I picked up a Bobby Allen 1a GMP 1/18th scale car on this message board earlier this year. A poster was selling out his collection. I was surprised nobody picked up the Allen car and he kept lowering the asking price. I think I got it for around 35 bucks and its one of my favorites in my collection.

1st off, I'm not pretending to know a whole lot about your kind of racing, Sprints, etc. because I don't, but the more time I spend here the more I pick up, that being said, w / me it's about the color, .... I just happen to like the silver & green combo of that car, ..... go good w / my Nascar die's, I'll put it rite in the middle,

"how many casts were made," .... I understand that too, ..........

As for the size, 1/25th if that is close to the size of the 1/24th Nascar die's, don't want one of those tiny ones,

Ok now, find me one, ....... thanks for your comments,

Yo Bestia,

I have a grean and silver 1/18 scale #11 car signed by the man and I paid more then $139 for it almost 10 years ago.

I also have a 1/18 scale Superman car also signed by the man that $139 would be the down payment,

Diecasts are worth what you will pay for your collection. The more you want it...the more you're willing to pay. The rarer it is the more you'll pay. The more popular the driver of that car...the more you'll pay. I have a Wrangler #3 signed by the man. Wonder how much that's worth ?

With diecasts, they are worth the buyer will pay and then if the seller really wants to sell. It's a crap shoot but that is the market today. I have everyone made but all major manufacturers, all sizes and would not sell anyone of them. I did sell and extra Sammy TMC Action last year for over $200.

I bought a Pancho Carter and a Joe Saldana (Joey's dad) for $20.00 each a few years ago. They are normally over the 150.00 range. Pretty sweet deal. Just wish I could get Bobby and Doug that cheap.
