yeahh... the only way to get out of production stuffs is from collectors who quits ... or the desperate for money ... tf hobby is a very good investment...
but do not support scalpers ... they're not consider as 'desperate for money' .. just a hobby spoiler ... even new release items also wanna scalp
so then, i think you have a good source to find good stuff... mind to share? hehehe....
I don't support scalpers.
A tip for you. If you want to have a good source to find good stuff, you need to pay market price for them. Cannot afford to be stingy. Seriously, bro Putu offering me RM850 is considered a good price coz it is very close to market price but you and I know for a fact that if I sell it, I will not be able to find another again for some time, maybe another 6 months? Mine is MISB FYI. You know how hard to find such an item.
So, unless I am damn desperate to sell, I will pass Putu's offer for the moment.
Paying market price will ensure good stuff will come to you but as you mentioned, TF hobby is very pricey. Try playing G1 for an example.
The Devastator G1 I bought is considered quite pricey already but the quality is like C9 to C9.5 (don't count the stickers). So, if you are willing to pay, good things will automatically come to you. No need to search high and low.
