Still waiting to see how the story pans out.

I'm one of the earlier online sellers of LEGO. As the market evolved, i failed to catch up, so i fell out of the race. But no worries. no hard feelings, in fact its even better.

The reason i started selling is that, i wish to see fans have access to cheaper LEGO. at that point of time, 20% is quite hard to get (apart from the clearance sale). I have managed to get VIP membership at a number of places, so i share the benefits with other fans. which is why my discount is usually 10 or 20% and limited to only the sets i collect.

I believe that if you remove the cost issue, creativity will flourish! "The one who shall not be named" had a different view on this from me. Cost was never the issue standing in the way of creativity. Alot of SG LEGO veterans will gladly gift you with the parts you need as long as you ask for them. (hopefully you wont be selling them.) unfortunately most fans evolved into collectors. some into sellers even. This has slowly converted our LEGO culture in one of purchasing and value-based mind set.

Recently i have been watching some shows with strange themes, Tokyo Ghoul and Kamen Rider Amazon. Both shows have a common theme. it involved eating human. I think in a sense, that what happen when you evolve into a seller. You look at sets with price value in mind, and you look at ppl as potential prey.

You can become a seller too. but what is it as a seller are you trying to gain? Financial Growth? Better Lobang Access?
