They buy low and sell high.

and sometimes with an event horizon that stretches over decades.
I've never investigated the regs concerning long term capital gains
but that may apply here.

ive been wondering how much of an investment bionicle is for my future lol it
isn't getting any younger and even in the past year ive seen prices increase,
so maybe i'm doing something good for myself by hoarding it all.

| i'm sure for many people bricklink is simply a hobby, as for me, but the
shops at the top can't be sinking thousands of hours and dollars into something
because it's fun right? i want to know where these colossal stores find their
profit. as a super tiny store, my investment in little ebay listing or lots is
minimal, and any profit tends to come from shipping costs. i'd love to expand,
but with no guarantee of orders, it's a little daunting to invest money into
items that might only be worth $10 more than i get it for. also i only care about
bionicle. lol.

| my favorite part is this technic piece (92907) that appeared in 2011. it's
super useful for bionicle mocs, but i just wish it came in more colors.
what's your favorite part?

| if you built all the sets you owned, how long would it take? I own 11 technic
sets and i estimate it'd take a good 10 hours.

| | Does it have a cataloge page?
What can it be used for?
Is it similar to another part?
Just wondering.

it's pretty much a 2 long bush without friction, it's just bright orange
and looks cool. it does NOT have a catalogue page as of now
