I had an interesting thought after hearing how many people dislike lego investors, be it companies or lego collectors.  Without lego investors there would be little to no chance that people would be able to get an older set they may want. prices for older sets (having less stock around years after they EOL), would be through the roof. Point being that lego collectors should thank us. I enjoy selling on ebay and giving people things that are harder to find. So yeah...we should all pat ourselves on the back, because we are all making someone very happy when we sell them sets that are no longer available.

 

On a semi-related note...I know this video is kind of old, but it is a great story.

I didn't think that many people dislike Lego resellers.  I wouldn't give it much thought unless you have unscrupulous business practices.

I would agree that its not the investing in general, its more the business practices. Like when they see one of us walk out with 40 sets on clearance while there are kids looking to buy legos.

 

I always try to leave some so that it doesn't happen.
