My son lost his in a recent hurricane and I need to buy a system -- any ideas?

I'd like to get one of these too. Please let me know where I can find these.

They don't make them anymore. I purchased mine at a yard sale. Ebay has them now and again in the $150 range.

How times have changed…I just pitched this whole setup in the electronics recycle bin today, and I mean pitched. This along with 5 iMac G3 Snow's and 1 iMac DV SE

Hi, I read your message regarding a hot wheels computer. I have one I was going to be putting on ebay soon. If you are interested, maybe we can work out a deal prior. I have seen them go on ebay for between $150 and the low $200's. I have heard that eventually these will become collectibles by toy and computer collectors as they were in production for only a few months by a company called Patriot who went out of business before they could ship for all the orders they had, leaving a lot of customers stranded. Unfortunately I do not have the room to store all of my sons things that may or may not be collector items one day. There is one for sale on ebay now here, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5153284278&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT ,with a starting bid of $250, no shipping available local pick up only. His is missing the game console (steering wheel and pedals). Mine is missing the mouse and the original CD it came with, but I'm sure you can get a copy of it from the original guy who posted about this, as I see he has it in his picture. Mine also has just had the battery replaced that everyone here is talking about to the tune of $75. I thought it was dead also, but figured it was worth a $35 estimate, and when he told me he could fix it for another $40, I figured what the hell. Too bad I didn't find this post earlier! Anyhow, if you are interested, I can e- mail you pictures. If you want to check my ebay feedback, I am asat18.
Let me know,

I still have it and sorry I don't have the parts you are looking for.

Hi, my friend has a few units she would like for me to sell! I will be posting these up on ebay in a few weeks once we get all the systems together and tested.

I will post links here to anyone that is interested. One quick question. do you think people would prefer me formating these systems or leaving the current data on there?

Please email when you post these computers on ebay. I have a three year that loves hotwheels, and I am tired of him messing with my computer.

I don't know if you bought one of the Hot Wheels computers or not yet, but I have one for sale on eBay now. It is a complete system and is in perfect working order.

Let me know if you have any questions.

eBay item # 8808265319

I believe that you should leave them as is and let the ones buying add or delete programs. Please let me know when you are ready to sell. I have been searching for a while now.

Hi,
can you tell me if you have the entire system.(cpu, monitor, keyboard, steering wheel/pedal system, software). what EXACTLY do you have? I am DEFINITELY interested. how much are you selling them for?
Please reply soon, i need this for Christmas.
Thanks,
JJMAMA

If you are still looking for one. I now have one for sale.
Excellent condition.

I have the whole system for $100.00 plus shipping

What parts?

MaxTek

Power and CDRom buttons or a new case altogether, Would also look at buying system, but would rather have parts since the system is not very upgradeable. I want to put a new board and processor. I really hope you can help...

Thanks
James

Careful of paying too much for one of the Hot Wheels computers. The inflated prices are due to Hot Wheel collecting fanatics and don't expect it to be an investment of any kind.

The die cast collecting world is about about as screwed up as the Beanie Baby and Cabbage Patch stuff was because of Mattel and the Hot Wheels collecting fanatics.

I am DEFINTELY NOT a fanatic and i don't want to be ripped off. i'm just looking for a great Christmas present for my son.
thanks for the "HEADS UP"

Alright, sorry for being MIA. I’m going to be putting this unit up soon on eBay, hopefully within a week. I have pretty much everything, So far I have:
- The computer
- The monitor
- Original Cd book full of extra games
- Speakers
- Steering wheel
- Pedals
- Keyboard

I am looking for the keyboard plate and mouse pad

Computer is going to be sold as is, meaning your going to have to wipe the HDD if you want to. I’m looking for 150$ plus shipping(should be about 40$, but im going to let it go for whatever on eBay. My friend bought 3 of these for her friend and she has 2 of them, one she is using and one she is letting me sell. She MAY have the accessories for the other ones, so if anyone needs them hit me up @ Jfkfhhfj@gmail.com

I have a system. It needs a video card in the motherboard, but everything else works. Let me know if you are interested. I will sell it directly for a good price, not on eBay. collinkoz@comcast.net

I am looking for one of these systems for my 3 year old son for his 4th birthday. He is realy smart and loves my computer and the ones at pre-school. If anyone has one available reasonably priced and will ship to my address please let me know. Or if you have a computer that would suit him and is cheap. I know there are alot of kids computers out there, and I know kids grow up fast so I dont want to go spend hundreds of dollars on a new one that he will out-grow and need a better one. Please let me know. My e-mail address is Dolphin_pooh24@yahoo.com. As for the hot wheels system it does not have to have the steering wheel and such. Just the basic stuff to run it. So he wont have to wait till we buy other stuff to make it work. Thank you!

UPDATE.....

Thanks everyone. I now have a complete hot wheels computer for my son with steering wheel. He loves it. Now I am just looking for the original paperwork that came with it. The instructions and the diagram paper. If anyone has these, and wants to get rid of them or will make copies of them for me, plese let me know. Also the flames that go with the keyboard. Thanks so much! Again, my e-mail is Dolphin_pooh24@yahoo.com

Got one. If you want one check the for sale forums.

I don't have the Software disks, Docs, Game Wheel & Peddles, but I have everything else. I had it serviced and upgraded the RAM (cost me $125) and it now works great. If anybody wants to buy it, let me know.

I know this is an old post, but if anyone is still looking for a Hot Wheels computer I have one that I would be willing to sell.

Let me know if your interested.

wow, way to expensive for a low end PC. you can build one allot better for around as much with parts from a few web sites and ebay. all this is, is a low end pc with a nice case ( if you can call it that)

You'd think that after hanging out around here for a while you'd understand a system this this, or a Twentieth Anniversary Mac for another example, can have a greater used market value than its base specs.

Being a "low-end PC", and therefore the target of all Mac-fanboys, doesn't exclude it from being a collector's item for those outside the reality distortion field.

Iam interested if you still have the hot wheels on sale and for what amount

If you're still interested in one, I have one I'd like to sell.
I'll be putting it up on Ebay within the next week.
I'm missing the mouse, the mousepad, and that video that looks like it came with it, and the games. It has Windows 98SE and I'm going to pack it with a copy of the Boot disk. It also comes with a printer and the installation software. Everything is in great condition. Runs well.
