<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 656603, member: 13650&quot;]Thank you.&nbsp; That is the statement that will sum up this whole discussion.&nbsp; It is possible but most of us are more likely to follow our wants and desires than buy with a profit oriented mindset.&nbsp; Which is ok.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a problem with that.&nbsp; I don&#039;t want to.&nbsp; My enjoyment comes from owning pieces of history and not worrying about potential profits, real or imagined.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Everything goes through phases.&nbsp; If something in your collection increases greatly, will you be willing to sell it at that point and realize the profit?&nbsp; Most will not.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most will hold and the prices will probably taper off again as something else becomes the hot new series to collect.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Bottom line: **Dealers pay wholesale.** If you intend to eventually sell out to a dealer by choice or in desperation, you will have to sell at prices that were never going to be available to you to buy at and you will lose!!&nbsp;&nbsp; Every time.&nbsp; This shouldn&#039;t be a surprise anymore. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Everyone needs to keep that in mind when buying from them and don&#039;t be afraid to walk away.&nbsp; The only way to &#039;potentially&#039; even make your money back is to sell to other collectors.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s a game that I have no desire to play but I figure many things will increase in value by default, if not only for inflation.&nbsp;&nbsp; That doesn&#039;t necessarily mean you gained anything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
