Mike,
Thanks for making me feel much better.
It's the first time I sell Lego.
I thought:
- my gain in this thing is nothing if compared to time and effort (as you said)
to find those sets, pack them for shipment, write and answer e-mails and so on.
- many others regularely do this.
- I usually pay more to get rare things, and I do with pleasure when really
want them.
- If anybody thinks they're too expensive, simply won't buy them.
- I've done things for other Legomaniacs for free, and will continue to do for
the pleasure of doing it. If sometimes I sell some rare sets to finance my
hobby, there's nothing bad or strange.
All this said, I couldn't avoid feelin a sort of fault for making commerce of a
thing I love.
Your kind words helped a lot.
Mario
