    Default What would you do with the value of a Valuable MISB/MOSC Transformer

    Hi all, just a random survey here.

    So, you were just randomly given a legit, valuable MISB G1 Transformer that you kind of like? What would you do in this situation? Keep it MISB and display, open it, sell it for pure profit, sell and buy a cheaper one?


    Just a hypothetical question here, but it's interesting what peoples' views are on that kind of thing.


    EDIT: Ok, since things aren't going so well in terms of mutual understanding, I've changed the title to kind of open up what's being asked.

    I would keep it MSIB...

    Even if I didn't already own the figure.

    Keep it MISB, maybe have it graded, then display it on my shelf.

    I don't give a toss about sealed, a lot of toys ARE NOT factory sealed and these are own self shop sealed.

    MISB means nothing for me....oh wait it also means how do you know nothing is broken or missing? Oh and yes believe me things do happen to be missing.

    Applies to anything I collect, not just G1

    I mean as in perfectly MISB as if it travelled through time. Would you take advantage of how much it's worth or just keep?

    Hey Bidoof,

    I selected Other.

    If it was a MISB G1 Transformer of one of my faves (which I collect), then I would definitely keep.

    If it was another character, then I would sell or trade it to buy a MISB G1 Transformer of one of my faves (if I can find one!).

    Keep and open. I don't collect boxes so that would go in the bin

    If I didn't already have it and wanted it, I would break and enter.

    If I already had one I would gift it to someone who would appreciate it.

    If it was one I already have, it'll stay in the box after it was graded. But thats just me.
