[QUOTE="ScruffyLookingNH, post: 510404, member: 6563"] I'm finding it really easy not to buy ATM. Other than a lovely little MOC from Stu and a recent pick up thanks to Steve S I really haven't bought much in the way of vintage for some months, well, MOCs at least. I find it easy because whilst I only buy Palitoy/Trilogo I won't get into the insane price wars that those two can attract. I do not have to own a figure at any cost so when it passes the point I want to pay....I don't. With not having a steady income I can't afford to drop £500 on a toy without considering the consequences. Now more than ever I need to consider the resale value of something when buying it as you never know when a flat period of sales may come along and I need to start flogging the family silverware (specifically referring to my Trilogo DSD and IG-88 here as when I sell those it means either I hate SW or they've cut the water off). And yes, the market has cooled off nicely. There's still a little way to go and sure, some stuff is still escalating away but gravity has an effect on everything, including vintage SW prices it seems. [/QUOTE]
