I'm not saying you have to have full on 'Play-Days' or anything,
but to me one of the main reasons behind buying something cool is to be able to pose it, display it, diorama it...you know, that sorta stuff. Now, I know there's no right or wrong way to collect anything, but I'm forever getting those "OMG YOU OPENED IT?!" responses from other collectors, and I've never understood why it's such a big deal. I usually hear the, 'you're killing it's resale value' thing, but I don't collect with intentions of reselling and when they're done lecturing about how they NEVER open their stuff, they always say that they wouldn't sell any part of their collection because, "it's complete!" ...so why do they keep it in the package and care about an items worth if they have no intention of selling it? |

I like having them in the package so the package art is not distroyed, it reminds me of how I bought it, and perhaps in the future it will keep or exceed its original value.
I buy alot of stuff loose on ebay to have fun. |

You're doing it wrong, chump!...you gotta spend yourself broke
and homeless buying NIP stuff you don't even want...that's the only way to teach people like me the lessons we need to learn. I do like the Grand kid thing dsradar. that's actually pretty cool of you. |
