I had picked it up at WAY under value from a fellow college student who needed cash fast to pay for his classes. I didn&#039;t really have the money to buy it, but recognized the instant cash potential, so took a cash advance from my credit card to buy. Although his story was that it was his late grandfather&#039;s collection, I wonder now if he had come by it through illegitimate means. Even though I made a quick $800 profit, if I had known what I know now, I would have first asked a lot more questions before the purchase in the first place, and then held on to the set (or at least the keys)! Looking back, even I was going to sell it, I could have done a much better job on my listing/photos and probably seen a much greater profit. I still feel guilty wondering if someone is missing their collection (although I did contact local police years later and no such set was reported stolen during that time) Still I wonder if he had obtained it from out of state.
