QUOTE(ejslayer @ Dec 9 2009, 04:58 PM) ahaks..no thx bro.. but seriously..i only collect coz how cool it is..not bout the value or whutever..as long as its nice to see / nice to hold / pull out awesome poses..then its a good buy 2 me.. + i dont really get into all the series.. so yeah.. i will observe n learn.. maybe in times i will be as educational as u guys bout tf's.  depends on individual reason to collect. some of us collect just because of their passion for transformers. they learn and search just about anything on transformers. pendek kata, makan transformers, tidur transformers, main transformers. nothing more nothing less. some people collect for business reason. buy cheap today. keep for years. sell for higher price tomorrow. they didn't even bother about transformers history or whatsoever. i've met these two kinds of collectors ever since i started collecting transformers. Some collectors even wanted to help other collectors by selling their collection at retail or buying price. some collectors sell their collection based on current market price. it's quite normal. like bro putu said, there's no right or wrong as long there are mutual agreement.  we can always choose the best for ourselves.

QUOTE(Thunderclash @ Dec 9 2009, 04:54 PM) You think the sellers dunno? Everybody throughout the world knows that the holy grail is Grand Max due to the Pretender shell but Fort Max is the more famous one due to the anime. So, if ever there is a Korean Brave Max found in substantial quantity, rest assured that they also know how to sell, when to sell and whom to sell. It is the cheapest Max to own of all 3 of them. YOu mentioned this?  |

QUOTE(putu_mayam @ Dec 9 2009, 05:03 PM) Well I would look things at this way- All deals are between sellers and buyers, which is a mutual agreement. So there are no wrongs or rights when some1 sells something at expensive and the other party buy it at expensive. However we can't always look backwards and compare with history (again...). Price being jacked up not always because people scalp or the item(s) are rare, you have to understand the value of money will change time by time, which I believe where inflations kicks in. Example, RM200 in the 90's equivelant to RM2000 for present, Perhaps? Just my 2 cents. Peace. I think time value of money doesn't accelerate so fast leh. If RM200 in the 90s is equivalent to RM2,000 now (approx 20 yrs), you should be earning > RM100k 20 years from now. I don't think so. The reason why prices go up is mainly because supply far far outstrips demand. If just based on inflation, RM200 should only be about RM500 now. Again just my 2 sens worth.  |

Added on December 9, 2009, 5:21 pmQUOTE(drunkenmaster @ Dec 9 2009, 05:06 PM) YOu mentioned this? Yup. Yours? Looks very minty. Oh Boy, now Subang 880 go gaga over Pretender shells. By the way, just that shell alone costs USD350. Very very valuable stuff. Price quoted from E-Bay bids which ended about 2 months back from a Orang Puteh seller based in Japan.
