    Since I'm being accused of bragging..Might as well limelight

    For those that mentioned it,I'm very glad that bootlegs aren't everyones cup of tea. Also glad that while they're not, most can appreciate them for both their roll in the global impact of SW, and just that they're fun to look at. There are many facets of SW collecting that I thoroughly enjoy...

    Open Discussion: Collectors Value and ebay strangeness

    And on legitimately rare items some sellers would rather keep the item than sell it for less than they feel the bottom dollar value for the piece is. Personally, unless I was in a bind/trying to raise cash for an important purchase, I'd never sell anything less than breaking even, regardless of...

    Since I'm being accused of bragging..Might as well limelight

    Thanks man, the Uzay card art is what got me started collecting bootlegs. I'm waiting for a bunch of new acrylic cases, then I'll do a proper update to my photo sets. As for Yodas.... it depends on what kind of Yoda bootleg.... Less expensive options would include 2 of the Yoda variants from...

    Since I'm being accused of bragging..Might as well limelight

    Once again, thanks for the kudos from everyone here on my collection and display. I really try to take pride in how my collection is presented. I think a well put together display really makes collecting more enjoyable. I did most of the shelving work very cheaply. Buying used slatwall and...

    Since I'm being accused of bragging..Might as well limelight

    Re-reading it,I just think that it's easy to misread the tone of some of my earlier posts in that thread, esp for those that don't know me, or those that were looking for something to argue about. Some of my later posts in that thread were a bit intentionally out there just to get some...

    First up we have a link to the bootleg museum. http://www.flickr.com/photos/coffin_joe/sets/72157626038252815/ Sorry that hasn't been updated with my most recent purchases, but there are just a few nice pieces there already. Next up we have my prototype room. some older pics, some items have...

    WOW What an auction! Includes Carded Vlix and Blue Stars MOC

    THAT is ****ing hilarious.... I've been part of the Punk/OI scene for over 25 years,far from a wannabe,more like a been there done it, and came from absolutely NOTHING money wise,earned everything I have in this world, so you're wrong on both counts there. Piercer/shop owner, not a tattoo...

    WOW What an auction! Includes Carded Vlix and Blue Stars MOC

    Yawn.... Troll boy's getting tired of keeping to topics so he goes to his moms dildo drawer to sling out insults. Problem is that he's just a keyboard warrior. Getting all hyped up because he disagrees with my opinion and doesn't know how to intelligently discuss it. I'd already posted my...

    WOW What an auction! Includes Carded Vlix and Blue Stars MOC

    IF that's what you take from my posts then it's more to do with a complex on your part man. I'm not being a braggart or a douche yet. IF I wanted to be a braggart, I could just post a limelight. If I wanted to be a douche I could just hit you with a dose of the elitism that you're already...

    WOW What an auction! Includes Carded Vlix and Blue Stars MOC

    I'll NEVER agree that auction outing is right,SO we'll have to agree to disagree on that one, and from the attitude of those here, it's almost as if it's being done as a slight against those of us that can spend that kind of money on these items. As for your plight of the wife booting you out...

    WOW What an auction! Includes Carded Vlix and Blue Stars MOC

    Not saying that there is a "rule" against it here, I'm saying that it isn't as black and white and nicey nice as you're trying to play it off as being, regardless of your intentions or how many people here see it as a positive thing, because they were just spectators not bidders. The fact is...

    WOW What an auction! Includes Carded Vlix and Blue Stars MOC

    That's not what it's meant to come across as,at all. :roll: Has nothing to do with big collectors vs little collectors, I've never acted as if anyone as a collector is beneath me. I'm just trying to point out that there are 2 sides to auction outing. As for Josh's feelings that I put myself on...

    WOW What an auction! Includes Carded Vlix and Blue Stars MOC

    You're right I got them for a very fair price. I got lucky, as the other bidder that I found out who he was after the fact, was on a MUCH tighter budget than I because he'd only been clued in about these auctions a few days prior(from someone that saw them here). The fact that I had a month and...

    WOW What an auction! Includes Carded Vlix and Blue Stars MOC

    NICE distraction....lol But seriously... Josh, you talk of my sense of entitlement.... I've researched, hunted and collected these since before anyone else was taking bootlegs seriously. I've created most of my competition for these items. Yet I get accused of acting entitled when items that I...

    WOW What an auction! Includes Carded Vlix and Blue Stars MOC

    As Tiefighterboy mentioned anyone with half a brain can find these off the beaten path auctions. Why should they be made easier for those that don't do the research? Not just better for me specifically, but better for those that do the work, even if that person isn't me. Cheers Joe

    WOW What an auction! Includes Carded Vlix and Blue Stars MOC

    I'm definitely of the school of thought that the fewer people know about something off the beaten track like this auction was, the better deals there will be for those that do know. I was clued into it by a friend that knew I would want the Polish. I clued other friends that didn't know based on...

    WOW What an auction! Includes Carded Vlix and Blue Stars MOC

    Do you like to cock block your mates when they're chatting up a girl at the bar too? I CAN understand messaging a friend that specifically collects something in the auction in a situation like that, but outing it publicly is the SW equivalent of just that...cockblocking them. It's like...
