Is greed good?

[LipSmack]

Meh, a little isn't bad. Everything's okay in moderation!

And especially as collectors, nothing wrong with getting a few extras of this and that to serve as trade fodder down the road, or making a few bucks to help fund the habit!

^ Agreed.

you're kidding yourself if you think people bashing scalpers who hoard toys with hopes of selling them and retiring are "jealous".

If your talking to me I never said anything about jealousy.Ive missed out on heaps of figures and have then had to pay inflated prices,so what,the only reason Ive had to do that is because I hesitated in the first place.

Didnt we have a similiar thread like this before?

There is nothing wrong with greed if what you mean is desiring more than what someone else has decided you need. If you have earned what you own, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

If by greed you mean desiring more than you deserve, then yes, that's bad. But envy is a better word for that, and it's a hell of a lot nastier than greed.

With great money comes great collection.
Greed is good, if u have a lot of money to spend.

Thanks for all the replies, most of you are right though, if you have the money you buy what you want. i guess I was just a ????ty as I am new to collecting(well started at begining of the year) and see all these cool dios etc and want just 1 and see ppl with pics of 2,3,4 of them. Such is life I 'spose.

Now I do get in early etc SS Alien Queen and SS WolfPred dio(ordered them the day they were released)



Cheers guys.
