Hobbes Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 do you keep all the boxes and the complete sets , btw? or does it all, one day, end up in the sorting process? I don't keep anything MISB unless I consider it reeeeeeally special and have more than one copy (that hasn't happened so far, though). "Current" sets that I don't consider "special" or worth keeping I open, even if I have more than one (I have multiple Creator/Designer I modify or try to MOC with). I keep at least one box of a set, multiple boxes I throw away. Same with instructions (if I'm in a good mood I might sell those, but they're not that many). I keep the display sets (Technic, Model Team, Creator/Designer) assembled on shelfs (main model, haven't found that good an alternate model I'd buy a second copy for), all other sets are built and maybe modified here or there and integrated in my layout. I buy to build or display, not to keep and resell. If I really like a box art or something I might think about displaying the box, but the model I build. So, this airport will be opened and built :-) PS: Only exception is 7264 which I have 2 (unopened) copies of. I haven't decided yet what I'm gonna do with them, but I was told this set is special. So maybe I can finance other sets by selling them one day which wouldn't hurt, either, since I don't collect SW. We'll see... Quote

You bought them at the Ultima secondhand toyshop didn't you? How much did he ask for the police station? I know he was over asking on the WW scene Quote

snefroe Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 You bought them at the Ultima secondhand toyshop didn't you? How much did he ask for the police station?I know he was over asking on the WW scene well at first he asked 125 on the WW scene but then we agreed on 100 because of the stickers and a few other things. he did mention some one else was interested or thought of buying it, but in the end didn't. i wouldn't say it's over priced though, considering the price of the set on bl. they did say the other guy bought other sets, was that you by any chance? and if so, what did you buy? the police station was 30euro. he's keeping it for me untill next week though, cos I didn't have enough cash with me to buy everything. I did have a good look at it, the box and the plastic inside are still in great shape, even though normally i wouldn't buy for 30euro in there. Usually, i'm just shopping there to see if they have larger boxed sets of the old days, very often that's not the case, then i'm just buying one or more of the smaller sets in those plastic boxes on the lower shelves. sometimes they get larger sets as well, sure, without the box, but it's most definitely cheaper than ebay or bl...

Hobbes Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Gotta pick up a boxed Breezeway Cafe this evening :-) Quote

Scouty Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I just bought a Forbidden Island 6274. Funny thing was it was ending in 20 seconds, so I rushed to bid and ended up paying 28 USD for it, pretty good I may think so :-) Quote
Hobbes Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Why have you "gotta" ...Just out of interest? :-) Good question... typo I guess... then again, I won the auction, made an "appointment" to pick it up, so I kinda had to go there ;-) Quote
Scouty Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Err, a bit off topic but, what? May I ask what is a BW and a WL? Quote
