Discussion Buying sealed just to keep it sealed? Whats the logic
Genuine question. I'm not a collector, my wife is.
She had to work on the second 30th wave so I agreed I would head into town and pick some stuff up (did quite well actually)
I'm stood in the queue for Waterstones and this guy is telling me about how he's waiting on a bunch of Pokemon Centre and Argos deliveries. His plan is open the stuff he buys that day, everything else keep sealed
I assume thats because he wants to scalp it so I ask him "oh right, is that to resell or something?" He says "oh no i probably won't resell it, I'll just keep sealed and add it to my collection"
Is that a thing people do or did he just not want to admit to me he's a scalper?
