    ebay isnt an option for me (we blacklisted it as a way to not be broke) and it was the first hard unchangeable rule I set when i decided to start collecting

    Mistake, ebay can get some absolute bargains from time to time where all else fail. As much as it is a place where there are scalpels , there are the occasional people who just sell off items reasonably.

    Example, my takara sunstorm was purchased at $145.
    That's cheaper than rrp

    Come on... That's rubbish what if that was a final piece of your collection at a nice price?

    I know what you are on about for ebay and yes I accept that it's no longer a good place to buy stuff but there are so many things not just toys alone that are ahead than what you can be paying.
    Like anything I would do my homework before I buy from ebay.

    But of course if this is your own oath you taken personally to enjoy collecting what you are collecting, I guess that's that. I can understand if it's a sort of a challenge that you stick by it.

    I have my ultimate goal and holy grail as a collector: Transformers Animated Voyager Thundercracker. I know there are only a few known to exist, but it's my dream to get one someday.




    Just so beautiful.

    its a silly rule yes life is dull without some silly.
    its a combination of my built in hatred for ebay and my ability to impulse purchase. where would the thrill of the hunt be of trying to find one be if i could always just ebay it. this is why shopping for food is boring

    part of the enjoyment of collecting of rme is finding them. and then talking myself into buying it.

    I respect that.
    Demonstrates good discipline and self control.
    Stick around this forum as there are always collectors off loading their items

    Ebay is like a fat kid going to a candy store to pick up a single pack of jelly beans because that's what he's craving... but ends up going home with a bag full of sweets that he doesn't need.
