[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 548436, member: 2"] This is a really good point I forgot to mention. In the past my collection has always been quite fluid, I would regularly sell things to make space and raise funds for other purchases. I did this for about 20 years, thinking I could always buy things back again. But over the last five years or so I have had some major regrets over things I have sold in the past (Lily Ledi Luke Jedi MOC for £400, Trilogo Cloud Car Pilot for £500 :sick:) that I will now never be able to own again due to the price they sell for. Off topic but this also applies to video games as well - you may have seen the Mario 64 that sold for $1.5 million recently, I [URL='https://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/threads/how-much-%F0%9F%98%B3-click-bait-title-or-what.42685/post-546160']sold one[/URL] in slightly worse condition for $300 6 years ago :cry: Don't worry mine wouldn't have been worth 1.5 million, but it would certainly now be worth tens of thousands. So now I do not sell anything any more, unless I am 100% sure I won't miss it. I have been offered good money for things that would give me a big profit, but I won't part with them if I don't have to, or don't think I can buy back again for a reasonable price. [/QUOTE]
