[QUOTE="tobedesu, post: 443943, member: 7194"] There can be a number of reasons why someone wants to sell his/her collection. Wealth dictates which items we are all able to buy. If I had more disposable cash I'd be looking at some high end items like are in that auction. However, I have items that are priceless - my childhood toys. I don't think anyone has the rights to decide who should/shouldn't buy/own these. Yes, it does look like some people are seeing these toys as investments, but the main thing is that they're preserved by whomever owns them. I'm sure if someone has the idea that a newly purchased £4000 MOC will be worth £7000 in 10 year time then it will be well looked after. There's some scaremongering by a few that all the bubbles will drop off and plastic will turn to mush. Maybe the seller agrees with this and decides a holiday home is what he'd rather have instead of a load of decomposing plastic. I used to collect vitage/deadstock trainers. It was a bit of an underground thing at the time. Slowly Adidas and Puma caught on and saturated the market with re-releases. I was a fairly well-known Puma collector who lost interest and this year have started to sell them. Let's face it, if one loses interest in any hobby the what's the point in continuing with it?
