Everyone must have at least one example in life where they owned something that increased in value so much in the future that they wished they held onto it or took better care of the item. This could be things like a special edition of a book or a very rare toy that one didn’t bother to keep. Recently I saw a sale for an item that appears to be music on a vinyl record. I was thinking “Who the heck listens to records still” bit quickly knew that this was a rare item as down the road it will be worth more. To make it even better there appeared to be a price error as the price of the item was over fifty percent cheaper than everywhere else.
So I decided to purchase the item for the sake of holding onto it as I am sure the value of it will increase as time goes on. A simple research online shows what kind of dedicated following there is for the franchise that the item is based on. It reminded me how even for things like comic books that I never really got into I had an opportunity before to buy a bunch of final editions as an example but never did. Even though I knew keeping it in mint condition would be valuable I just never went through with it.
What a mistake too considering the item would have only required say a ten dollar investment as well. Nowadays it is worth well into the four to five figure range. If you have the opportunity to reasonably invest in some kind of collector’s item you may want to do so if the intent is to get rid of it for a profit later.
