I started this thread for people like me, if you wonder what your fellow members do with their Sideshow Collectible when it finally arrives after the months have passed since they were released for pre-order.
Do they keep it and treasure it forever?, do they flip it straight away in an online auction for a nice healthy profit?, do they sit on it until it completely sells out and flip it in an online auction for a small fortune?, do they keep it until space or money is so tight that parting with it is the only option or do they do something else with it?
What do I do?, well I only flip my collectibles if Sideshow release a collectible of a certain size and I think it would be better than one I already have,
(Example) I have a certain space which can hold six PF Figures and Sideshow release a new one of those, if I think to an almost certainty that it's going to be better than one already in my set of six then I'll buy it. So then if it arrives and it's better than one I've already got I flip the old one in eBay for a great profit because it's been long sold out, but if it arrives and Sideshows images made it look better than it actually is (which is rare) then I'd sit on it until the last wait list chance is gone and place it in eBay for a nice little earner on top of the money I had originally paid for it.
I'm just nosy about what use my fellow freaks get out of Sideshow Collectibles & the other manufacturers Sideshow distribute for, maybe get some good ideas. I'm fair game either way, to be honest if I had more storage space I'd flip a lot more because it's clearly a good way to make money and that's one thing we could all do with more of (Apart From Yexel), on the other hand I have a huge healthy collection which contains complete flip-proof pieces that will be held down from generation to generation.
It's a friendly thread so please no criticism of your fellow members buying & selling preferences.
So what do you do with yours?
