Hi folks I have only recently started collecting scalextric and have been scouring gumtree etc for them

I seen a ad for 2 sets £15 and went to pick them up before I got there he told me they were only 50 complete now although the set have cars on the front didnt get those got different ones

I also got all the spoilers for the original cars which is very handy as I needed the Mondeo and BMW one few pics of what I got

but all the track controllers etc are there

[jkl100]

oh well I will try and be more careful with my title

 

[jkl100]

got this one at a carboot sale today for £5

 

[jkl100]

Git this lot today from carboot sale garbage bag full of track and some cars some icro one and what looks like two racing grannies
not sure if they are scalextric or not

 

[SplitRim]

Another good blag there!
The track in the middle pic is for the grannies, not Scaley obvoiusly.
The Revell/Monogram Etype is nice not the best of runners but if it's just for you to run then it should be just fine.

they seem fun lol I payed £5 for the whole lot

 

[petestrike]

had some fantastic bargains of late (just for a change!).

this lot ended up , after a bit of dealing , ended up owing me £1.01. all "as new".

and this haul , plus an assortment of other bits and pieces , ended up costing me the grand total of £1.65. pretty much all the bits were there but not nessecarily in the right place.

i think the bargain fairy has used all her lucky dust on me now though!

 

[jkl100]

a good bargain there Im always on the look out mainly because Im broke

 

[jkl100]

picked this up today fro £5 delighted

I got my first Scalextric set a few about 2 year ago now used it twice and then put it away in my wardrobe, before getting the slot car bug a few months ago now after I got it out again one day - set it up and have never looked back since!.

It was a Scalextrc Digital Driver C1197 set with the mini coopers red/yellow, brand new in box complete and mint, ok the box had been opened but it was clearly never set-up.

I spotted in a local money trader type shop it was priced at £50, I used to go in that shop every few days and this Scalextric set was on the shelf for about 9 months before it was finally priced down to half price, so I snapped it up for £25!, I though that was bargain.

At the time I wasn't at all aware that it was great price as I wasn't into Scalextric and never used eBay!, so I didn't know what it was really worth, I could get £25 just for the lane-changer these days.

Well the cars can be had for about 20 pounds each on ebay, (since a lot of platinum sets where bought over Christmas at an all time super low price, and broken up by the sellers to put the parts on ebay) and the whole Extreme speed set at Scalextric.com costs £75 nowadays,

so apart from the "£100 down" you still have a great bargain!!!

Cheers,
Martin

Blimey! I've used a Grocer’s Apostrophe! I shall hand in my laptop and resign from the internet in shame.
