Funny thing, I was having a conversation with a friend who is into mechanical keyboards. The parts for those things are super rare and in high demand right now. We collectors often do lament the cost of aftermarket goods and scalpers, but at the same time, one of the reasons we collect things is the perceived value we expect it to have/retain.

I dropped something like $34 on the Den-O Converge figure, making it the most expensive regular release converge figure for me, but now I see the prices for it are in the $100s (for a 2 inch figure!) That's all part of the fun and challenge of collecting. It has its ups and downs. Hopefully more ups than downs right?

Also how many of us would actually part with our collections if the right offer was made?

When I fell out of Star Wars, I sold all my micro machines for more than what I paid, and if I kept them to this day, I think they would've gone for even more!

Didn't notice this post last night, but if you can I suggest checking Mandarake for SODO figs, they regularly have Den-o for 800 yen, and you might be able to find some other stuff you want.

Edit: (Also group orders)
