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

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,

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?

Submitted by alicia scott on November 12, 2005 - 6:53pm.

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 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.

Submitted by JJMAMA on November 25, 2005 - 11:35am.

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

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.

Submitted by JJMAMA on November 25, 2005 - 12:07pm.

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"

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

Submitted by SaphireDragon on July 5, 2006 - 10:57pm.

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

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

Submitted by agreen on May 21, 2009 - 10:20pm.

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.
