Hrmmm, while I admire your convictions on this subject, I have to
admit that I am rather pleased that my toy habit is almost
self-sufficient, given enough time. Well, maybe not almost, but I bet
my sales and auctions have paid for at least half of what I've bought,
and on certain types of purchases, more than the full price, which
makes things kinda balance out in the end anyway.
I guess if I were charging more for the stuff I sell, and the fact
that so many people pounce on certain items so quickly leads me to
believe I could be charging more, I suppose I would start making real
"profit", but I usually shoot for everything totalling out to just
more than I paid, with enough of a cushion to make it worth my time to
spend hours in front of the screen doing sale/auction stuff instead of
playing games or watching DVD's.
Who knows, though, maybe I'll figure out a way to make it not only pay
for itself and a little free time, but also pay for everything. I
think the Lego world could accomodate another full-time devotee or
two. :)
