Default Re: is this jut a fad?

I wanted to post something along these lines when I first joined, but didn't because I was new and would come across as a troll.

It's true, you can definitely see it as a fad for some. I haven't been here that long but have seen several that are leaving the community because they are selling their collection to fund something else such as their wedding or religion related.

It is definitely an expensive hobby, I wonder who here has been collecting the longest or who has profited the most from it.

I'd love to hear more from you guys.

At 24 I think I lose both battles, I'm not in it for profit if I was I wouldn't have given away 2 Nintendo 64's, though I have one or 2 sealed for the rainy day chance..

As for fads, yea it does tend to come across a little like Pokemon cards, like the rare movie mew that everyone had 12 of cause the cinema overstocked or the damn foil cards kids would have thier parents find for them.. Less stealing with this version of collecting though
