Anyway, I gotta say, I'm quickly becoming quite jaded on the whole collecting scene after seeing some of the ludicrous prices and scalping.

This nonstop talk about scalping is ruining my thoughts on this very forum. Every time I come here it's always about "I bought four copies of this and sold two for 4x what I paid!" bragging nonsense, and nothing about collecting.

I have seen something like this said maybe two or three times on here?

It is certainly not constantly being said

Granted a lot of members do buy to resell but how often do they actually brag about it?

This particular thread is what I'm referring to in my previous post. There's essentially no discussion about the collecting aspect, just how much items are being sold for and how much money can be made.

In my opinion, no discussion of ebay/bragging/reselling should be allowed in these 'collecting' threads.

its gonna happen, although i do not believe it is as constant as you say it is

fact of life people will discuss the value of things some will sell at a high price

best thing to do is ignore it, not inflame it
