When I buy collections, it's due to people coming to me, asking me to take them off their hands, or they need money now.
Half the time, I don't need any of it, or could use some of it. But the fact is, they need money. So I tell them what I will pay for it. No one has to sell it to me for what I am offering to help.
Not trying to be a cheap ass, just helping someone.
A friend of mine was in need of money awhile back, something like $300. He offered up his Xbox, several games, a crapload of heroclix, his paintball gun, gas tanks (big ones) and some accessories.
I bought it all for $400 as I felt I could get it back and keep the heroclix I wanted. I sold the xbox and games for a mere $50 at a game store. So now I was out $350. I decided to go ahead and sell the heroclix in hopes to recoup my money. I sold it piece by piece and made roughly $300.
My friend called about a month later and asked if he could buy the paintball stuff back. It was an expensive gun that I could have gotten $200 for it. Sold it back for $100. So I made $50 and helped someone out.
Had I paid full value for it, I would have been really screwed or my friend wouldn't have gotten the money he needed.
