Sounds like a nightmare for a rare-collector
Yea i see the problem there.It's not easy to convince people to buy a fruit basket for 300k+ when you can buy an animated fireplace for roughly the same.
Rares collectors here have to be purists: Desire an item because it is rare, not because it looks cool. But yeah we get the shaft on the regular, you just gotta get used to it and keep the grease handy.
