My sentiments exactly. Why, only last week I bought a 6285 Black Seas
Barracuda in a shop for the original price (appr. $ 100). I was _really_
tempted to auction it in Lugnet, but in the end I decided I wanted to be build
and put in a nice place. Right now it is standing on top of the TV, in plain
view and everybody, who sees it, says it is a great model.
My point: I know I could have sold it for a lot more than what I paid for it,
but that is not the way I want to 'experience' Lego.
But if I find a hard-to-get set that I already have in my collection, I don't
mind buying it and reselling it to fellow AFOLs at costprice or, even better,
trade it for other hard-to-get sets!
Just me, rambling on... (I only had 4 cups of coffee this morning)
