Sweden - the new Switzerland?

Sweden and Switzerland are two different countries. Yes. It is true. I live in Sweden. You´ll have to take my word for it. I´m not made of chocolate and cheese and have 23 million Swiss Francs secretly hidden away in some fancy bank in Zürich.
Unfortenately.
The last thing, I mean.

Because regardless from where in Europe you live, collecting Cars is a quite expensive hobby. Over here we have to pay about 120 kronor, that´s almost 19 US-dollar, for a single car.

When I read about sales on K-Mart where Lightning McQueens are thrown away for US$ 2,99 I almost concider emigration.

In Europe Switzerland is also known for being an expensive country. If you´ve been on a vacation to the Alps, and people ask you in which country you´ve been... well if the answer is Switzerland people know that you are well off.

But with the latest diecast Cars-prices running so damn high... I don´t know anymore. After more than 50 years of socialist-party-gowernment, we have now experienced right wing governance for two elections in a row. People have more money in shares per person than people in the US.

Mayby Sweden has become the new Switzerland?

But there are ways to go cheaper even here in Switz... I mean Sweden. We have our own version of E-bay: Tradera.

People are surprisingly early with the latest goods from US. I have been able to bid on new Cars 2-items for weeks (and I´ve bougth some too:)




The cheapest car I got from bidding on this site is Guido, I got him for about US$ 5 plus US$2 for shipping. So in the end, it´s almost twice the money you lucky bastards have to spend on a sale in America.

I have serious plans on a trip overseas just to get some cars. Just imagine travelling from Sweden with a large old fashioned suitecase.
Totally empty.
