2. stuff goes up in price. DUH.

3. what he's suggesting is a collecting world where everything has equal value so all are on the same collecting class. He's suggesting ... communist transformers. :lmao:
Tell this guy I said he should go to hell with all that mess. The value of an item, as well as how much someone is willing to pay, is up to the individual. You can post up any rediculous price you want, but someone has to be willing to pay that. And you hit the truth dead on: with each passing year, it becomes more difficult to find original G1 MISB stuff.

As for his $300 limit, he's just mad that his burger flipping ass can't hang with those of us who have put in our lumps to get to where we are so that we can afford collecting. Again, tell him I said fuck you, and fuck your couch.
