A question mainly aimed at all the MISB collectors, but opinions by all are invited:

I understand that one (not all) of the major appeals of MISB collecting is the perceived investment side of things. If a toy kept MISB then theoretically (depending on the toy of course) it will be worth more in years to come then a MIB or loose version.

What happens if after said years pass, item X has significantly increased in value and you decide to sell and reap the profits. So you find a buyer and collect a handsome sum for your MISB item. Then while you are fanning yourself with your massive wad of cash and thinking yourself a much younger and better looking Warren Buffett, you get a message from the buyer saying that he has opened item X and found that there is a problem. Lets say the head is missing or some other sort of factory fault. Is this a case of Caveat Emptor as this is a no longer available 2nd hand item and you are not a business or do you consider yourself just as responsible as a business like say TRU or BBTS and offer some form of compensation, either a partial or full refund, thus defeating the purpose of the whole MISB thing. (I understand this would be a rare event of course. Unless you bought and are currently trying to offload 50 V1 MP Roddy's. then you're in trouble.)

So… thoughts? Comments? Shut up Trent??
