[QUOTE="Joe, post: 64522, member: 440"] Anyone want to discuss people who collect as an investment? Just had a little notion, I am I guess younger than most at 24 and missed all the films, I still got into collecting and know many collectors at a similar age group but I don't know as many younger collectors, and I certainly don't know as many collectors my age as there are older. (hope you are still with me) So in terms of groups- Older original fans - Large number Younger fans (second wave ;)) - Medium number Even younger fans (final? wave) - Low So lets say our older fans are pushing 40 now and in ten years or so decide to sell, they sell to my age group and in a further twenty years we decide to sell at which point there will be even less people wanting to buy these toys, so in that sense is it REALLY that good an investment as people think? Given that many of you guys have families, you will in turn hand your collections to your kids, some may enjoy them and enjoy them for what they are and some may want to cash in on them (hope not!) If they have no-one to sell them to, or the market is so flooded with overpriced collectibles that they have to flog them at very low prices (which I think will be the case) are collectors buy now to invest doing so misguidedly? For me , the investment notion is long dead. Edit- bad title thread as its always going to be relevant! [/QUOTE]
