Exactly. Live within your means, but don't expect to buy a figure for $50 and sell it for $300 in 2 months. You can say, "I'm buying 2, one to sell later" ... fact is, when you get your 2nd one ... you'll have a hard time selling that one too. By the time you "profit", you've already spent 100X that on other figures. I'm completely against buying doubles unless it's cheap. (75% off, buy one get one free, TFC for $20, etc)
Buy what you like and keeps you happy. Never buy something you really don't want. (Beast Wars Returns, Star Wars, and such)
