I'm with Indycat, a Collector collects for himself, he wants it, likes it, enjoys it, to look at, play with, whatever, and will hold on to it for years. Maybe even pass it down, and unfortunately may have to sell it in tough times.

A Retailer, Dealer, scalper, flipper is not collecting, and is not a collector; he is stocking or hoarding for future profit. There is a difference.

I have been collecting for my entire life all types of action figures and have only sold some of my collection once when my father died and my family needed money, other than that I’ve traded very little because what I buy is for “ME” and it stays mine.
