I've seen you advocate this, but I have to, to a certain extent,
disagree. Suppose you don't buy any, the price doesn't drop, and someone
else buys them all? Or worse, it drops, and someone else swoops in and
buys them all. Now what do you have?

I advocate buying the number that you want to buy at the price point
they are at, given that price point. In my case, that sometimes is "1 or
2" and sometimes is "all" because the set is worth a certain amount to
me. Certainly factor in future drop potential, but don't ace yourself
out of ANY sets (of a particular type) at a discount by waiting for a
drop. If they drop later, great, swoop in and get a bunch more.

Just my opinion

FUT market.theory, because this strikes me as sort of a "theory of
shopping" question.

(...) I guess you just have to decide what's worth more to you and also decide if you're willing to gamble. I've waited and scored BIG and I've waited and scored nothing. I've also waited and seen them dwindle ever so slowly with NO price drop. > (...) (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.theory)
