Hiyo,
i'm personally & basically a 2nd hand model buyer.
I don't ask for perfect condidion, cos i know it's not
possible.
Basically, i dont buy to sell, but buy to collect.
My criteria are in order:
1)Model Type (JDM)
2)Price (within my budget or its value)
3)Flaws (i dont mind small amt of bubbles, insignificant scratches
or minor miscolouration, but no missing/broken parts, smugging
paint-jobs & paint chips.)
I'm not e kind of picky & fussy buyer, cos i know wad i'm
buying.
I buy a model as a piece of art & design, for hobby &
passion,
not as a trader or retailer.
Some ppl r fussy, cos they want absolute value for money,
or perhaps they know someday they will want to sell part of their
collection
to make way for new ones or new themes.
Some others also see model collecting as investing, when they aim
for rare,
outta production or LimitedEdition models to resell at high
prices.
It really depends on how u see e issue to be,
cos there r indeed cheapos out there who will buy in at low cost
& sell at ridiculous prices, wif e sole intent of making
profis.
