[QUOTE="peekaygee73, post: 493440, member: 6023"] I think others have hit the nail on the head - it's the instant gratification mentality versus the thrill of collecting a set of something over a period of time. I invest time in both educating myself about the hobby, which enables me to invest time in different ways of sourcing as many bargains as possible. One of my most pleasing vintage SW purchases was a lot of around a dozen weapons/accessories about 3 years ago, which I got from ebay US for around £10. It wasn't BiN and I was watching it for about a week... luckily no-one else was. There was nothing mega rare in there, but all 100% original. I was able to pair a few of them up with weaponless figures I had and replace some repro I'd (unwittingly) bought with figures around 15 years previous. The others I sold on. I've made other much more expensive purchases that I've ending up selling on or forgotten about, but I'll [u]never[/u] forget that one. [/QUOTE]
