Thoughts on Collecting

1. BUY WHAT YOU LIKE. You'll never be disappointed.
2. PERSISTANCE PAYS OFF. If you really want to find that elusive car, there's nothing like persistance.  But when collecting takes too much time away from family ,work and friends, you may have gone too far.
3. VALUE. Collectibles are worth what the buyer and seller agree they're worth.
4. LIMITED EDITIONS AND VARIATIONS. A Limited Edition of 5,000 is not necessarily worth more than a Limited Edition of 10,000. Desiribility is the key, not production numbers.
5. DEALERS.  Anyone who constantly buys stuff, old or new, for resale is a dealer.  Then again, most collectors are dealers to some extent.  Hmmmmmm.
6. FUN.  Fun is the most important part of collecting.  If you're not having fun, you shouldn't be collecting.  

Testimonials / Good Traders List:

Now a few words from a couple of people I've bought collections from:

"I appreciate doing business with someone as honest and nice as you have been to me." - SS

"I feel that you gave me a fair offer on the other cars that I sold you." - AF

And from a satisfied buyer:

"Thanks for the deal, it was a pleasure doing business with you." - PD

Following are just a few of the people from all over the world that I have successfully traded with or bought/sold cars to/from. Thanks again to each and every one of them. There are lots of great people out there. If you contact these folks in reference to me, please keep in mind that this list has been compiled over the last ten years.
