Freaked Out
I have to LOL at some of the posts in the last 20 pages. I do understand about people bragging they got 3 of them while other true collectors are stuck having none....that is kinda lame. To dis someone that is going to flip it though because you didn't get one is even lamer. Everyone had the same shot at getting one, everyone had the same problems with the server.....thats just how it is. Its life, you win some you lose some, don't be a sore loser over it. I didn't get the guardian last year and I wasn't crying about it at all. I somehow got lucky with the IM this time around but I am def not bragging about it. Now I am on the fence about using it as trade bait for some other older pieces id much rather have.
I think the whole point is everyone who is in this hobby ends up moving pieces out of there collection to make room for something new they want....and I am certain you are not selling the piece for retail if you find out its going for 3x more than what you paid for it. Yes I understand some deals will be made on here with close collector friends but I am still certain you are making a profit if there is one to be had. Its not the exact same thing as people buying to flip them right away but its similar. Id say 90% of us will make a profit on items if there is one to be had.....just sayin.

I don't agree with flipping but its a dog eat dog world...Everyone had the same opportunity to buy em. For every one person NOT flipping on these forums, there's 2 non collectors flipping off the forums...Its just something that's always gonna happen, no point in _____ing about it ya know?
