Re: Passion vs. Profit

Hey, if you think you're going to make a killing in buying/selling diecast aircraft, I have a good deal going in Dutch Tulip bulbs.

Re: Passion vs. Profit

For me the collection means more than the value. But if one considers a majority of our models end up in the hands of children for play then we realize rarity.In 1/18th we may realize even more rarity though it's hard to guage. I suppose that if a guy just had to have a particular model and had to pay $ 100.00 for it then alright

Those same folks were probably heavily invested in the Emu craze too!

Re: Passion vs. Profit

Missed out royally on a Flying Mule Me-262 today.

If I would have one 262 in my collection it would have to be this one. Mainly because I like the scheme but it being scarce makes a good story ánd a good investment (although investing is not my forté...) too.

Recent photo of Aircrafty right after waking from a good night's rest

LOL, my wife reckons that's a very good likeness, but perhaps with less hair/fur.
