<p>[QUOTE="crystalk64, post: 63362, member: 1873"]I don't look for either set to sleep very long. While the short term gain could be very very good, if your looking for profit, that would be the ONLY time to bail out. Seen to many sets in the past years that drop like a rock as there will always be new hype just around the corner. As a 30 year collector, who has collected such sets, I found that they take a great amount of space and after the first few weeks of ownership they lose their appeal. I had to make myself quit buying them and finally, after weening myself from such offerings, I have now all but sold the sets I still owned. Believe I actually have one such set and it was a gift from my mother-in-law so thats why it is still here. Had sets piled in the closet for years and it finally got old. Short term I think they are great but learned to fear the results over the long term. Don't misunderstand me on this issue as I did enjoy the sets but the negatives slowly creeped in, at least on my collecting end, so no more sets or the hype that goes with them. I only buy the COIN now![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
