No need to feel guilty, IMHO:
Whenever I see a bargain in a store, I grab as many (Lego sets) as I can,
and decide at home what I want and what I don't want (After all, I can
always return what I don't want - but a least I have the sets if I do want
them..) Sometimes I will hang on to a set (or twelve) *incase* I need a
certain piece, fig, or whatever out of it - but I won't open the set(s)
until I need the internal contents.
Only as of recently have I begun jettisoning extra (Unwanted) sets onto
Ebay, that I've had lying around for god knows how long. If I end up selling
them for less than I bought them for, too bad; If I get my money back, good;
And if I happen to make a few bucks, Great!
I guess it's all relative to how much someone is willing to pay, and how
much you are willing to lose. Therewith it can be compared to your
neighborly Wal-mart, Toys R Us, or "Big Joe's Used Cars" who just-so-happens
to have cleaned-out all the Shell Gas stations of their Promo sets, and is
selling them for $9.95 a pop.
My point, I guess, is: "If you auction it, and they want it, they will
come...."
Cordially,
DBR
