Re: Angora Patio
Deja vu . . . viewtopic.php?f=5&t=37469&start=0Fact is it's a free country and people can sell shit how they like. By the same token, I can freely think they're parasitic fucks with no class! . . . life's a journey, it's up to you how bumpy the ride is! Wonder if I could earn more writing fortune cookies for a living . . . :

I recently traded something I didn't particularly care about for a sought-after Bemon. I wanted to see what the fuss was about, and honestly, I'm not that thrilled with the Bemon either. Honestly, in all my years of collecting this shit, I have sold exactly one piece, and traded one other piece*, so I'm not someone for whom any of this wheeling and dealing is particularly relevant or even interesting. I'm a hoarder, not a flipper. *I've traded other stuff for toys, like original art, but that's different.

Re: Angora Patio
In the old days of the ToyboxDX board, we made fun of collectors who were unduly obsessed with "The Market" - I guess those days are over now.

if you are talking the 1 headed specimin I prefer the hukko version, although I have had niether in hand, hukko just seems chunkier and I think the legs work well,I wish hype did not exist because you know for the most part the people that REALLY appreciate the big 3 can not afford them, and I have had some curiousity involving these toys but am not willing to take the risk that I may dislike a $500-$1000 toy

The Bemon is better cause it has less hipster douche drama associated with it unlike NNN. Also, I thought you sold off a large chunk during a divorce or something....

YEP. I sold mine for like $600 and everyone got butthurt. People are going yo get 'butthurt' over seeing toys less than six months old sell for hundreds or a thousand dollars because it's gross. I'm sorry, but the nature of the sale is irrelevant, what it boils down to is that the prices on Nags are uncalled for and repugnant.

Re: Angora Patio
Yeah, Bemon's drama has passed. We're all cool with him flipping his stuff on YJA direct vs. a middle man like NNN selling direct (to hipsters only?)

Liked it but soured on the scene and traded it to a cool guy in Europe. For whatever reason, that hasn't happened for me with Bemons...

But is it really flipping if he's selling his "own stuff"? Albeit a high price. Sure, he had to pay for it to get produced. Maybe "flip" is a poor word. "Gouge" maybe? I love when people stop liking an object, which itself holds nothing but it's own physical properties and no actual emotions or politics, because of the opinions others have for it and or how the majority of people who also like/hate the object converse about it. I hope more people sour on the Nag, I'll be waiting. Sour your asses on Anraku too dammit! And on some older RxH.
