A lesson learned in a hard, costly way.
As the French don't say: doublé post.

First, I always try to remember this is a hobby, not an investment. I pretty much figure I'll never make my money back on anything I've bought.
With that said, looking back, I've spent more money on certain replicas than I should have but I really did want most of these pieces and they are still in my collection.
I can honestly say that I have NEVER lost money on any prop I've bought because I don't go out and buy a prop just because I "NEED" it.
The best rule to live by in the hobby is:
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING REALLY BAD, THE CHANCES ARE, IT WILL COME BACK AROUND AGAIN...USUALLY CHEAPER. HAVE PATIENCE.
I almost forgot...there was a Vulcan harp that I bought and paid WAY too much money for. It looked GREAT in the pics but when it arrived it was about 1/3 too small and made of what felt like balsa wood. I gave it away in the PIF thread and when the recipient received it he was upset when the post office tried to charge him a kings ransom in duty charges (it was sent to Malta). He asked if he could open it right there at the post office before he paid for it and he said it pretty much just crumbled in his hands! To make a very long story short, this inspired him to build a superior harp of his own in about a week just out of spite! He and I had a good laugh about this and for MONTHS this harp was sent back and forth ending up in postal limbo, playing "tag" with it every time they tried to deliver it to one of us. This fiasco ended up creating an on-line friendship between he and I and now I consider him to be one of my closest 'virtual' friends.
(Hi, Alan!)
I paid WAY to much for those ICONS items that never shipped.....
Wait what kind of ICONS items did you pay for? Now I'm nervous because I purchased a hoverboard ICONS item
><
If you've been waiting 12 years, I don't think you're gonna get it :lol
