dunkers97 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I know a lot of people are into Legos for the the money, but what Legos if had no investment purposes? Would you still buy them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Did that for years before getting into investing just a few months ago. Maybe I would buy them less often but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunkers97 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yeah I think it would make trading boring in a way but I would still definitely buy them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteboy02 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I know I like some of the minifigures for the value, but if they didn't have any value I would probably still collect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I know a lot of people are into Legos for the the money, but what Legos if had no investment purposes? Would you still buy them? I think the vast majority of investors began as builders and collectors. For many, it is a way to fund the building. I'm sure there are many, however, that have no interest whatsoever in Lego sets themselves, just the $$$$. Which I don't blame at all, and am a bit envious, they don't worry about opening and building their sets. My son and I build just as much as I tuck away. If a set needs moved along, it gets sold for usually a good chunk of the original purchase price, rinse and repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Is this some sort of trick question? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yes. As I said in another thread, I am a builder first, then a collector, then an investor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yes. As I said in another thread, I am a builder first, then a collector, then an investor. I am exactly the same, in that extact order ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grolim Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Of course! I'm a collector first and investor second. Using my profits from investing to fuel my own collection. If There was no money to be made I'd still buy for my collection but I'd have to be a lot more selective and miss out on some that I wanted.

sadowsk1 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Above all else I'm a collector. The toy will always have value to me. I secretly hope someday the market tanks and I can get everything I want for great prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcarin Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I think the only major difference would be quantity purchased... Cannot see anyone buying 10, 15, 20 or even 40 of same set if the investing aspect is removed. As for myself, I am an collector/even builder first then little investor.
