it dont matter one hoot wheater it is right, or moral or good or whatever.
it is what it IS!!
technicaly, that MISB supercar is just some plastic. those structured
carbon molocules are just really really HARD but nicely cut diamonds.
their worth is based on what someone will PAY for it.
im sorry dave. as one of those set horders, im not going to get mad at
the guy selling his set for any price he names.
how does it harm you or calum? if you dont want it... dont buy it.
if he is hording a rare set/part. its his to hoard. if as you say, the
set can be built from comon parts; then any argument about rare and
hording is mute.
tell me dave. define a piscaso, or a monalisa? just some oil, and ink,
slapped on some old canvas. why are THEY worth what they are?
