I collect toys and never sell any; I find the business side of things so interesting. That portion with the seller and you were upfront that it was for your shop; the back and forth haggling of the price was really cool to see. Really great stuff to watch. Also, how much little bits of specific information do you have floating in your mind about what makes each item rare is just mind-boggling.

The 12" IG-88 kills me every time I see one, because my mom took me to the Five & Dime and I wanted a 12" figure. She finally agreed to get me one, and the store only had two left; Chewbacca and IG-88. I almost bought the IG-88 because he was a robot, but then decided on Chewbacca because he was a hero. So today I still have the Chewbacca and the original box, but now that I am older and a collector, I know it could have been an IG-88! Who knew I was making a thousand dollar decision at 5-6 years old?
