[QUOTE="Michael Sith, post: 474706, member: 4511"] Collector and investor. I collect, but I invest my time and patience in learning about and collecting the things I enjoy collecting, the payoff in that investment is, I learn more, I build a collection I know about, I enjoy my interaction with a community of likeminded enthusiasts, I will keep collecting and trading as it keeps paying a very handsome dividend by making me smile and enriching my life in that way. That's a Return on investment that only I can value, for me. I share that investment with my Son who also collects, so even better ROI I get to spend quality time with my lad discussing memories of his childhood Lad ...." remember when you got that boxed Millenium Falcon an ATAT Walker for me, where did that come from?" ...... Me " that was your Grandma and Grandad, they got them from a car boot for £5", Lad " you fancy going to a car boot one weekend?" Me " let's do it" So the above may come accross to some as cheese.... but my point is, collecting is something we do but there are different reasons in the background as to why we do it, and that, I say again, is an investment well worthy of the cost attributed to it.
