My statement that I should have bought 20 to sell on ebay was really a joke, just meaning thats how good a deal they are. As for actually selling them on ebay to make an profit, by the time you got them, reboxed, auctioned, paid ebay and paypal fees, spent half a day shipping them, etc, you'd be lucky to make anything at the price things are selling for. Seriously, though, ebay has been a good resource for me when I've had stuff I got tired of and couldn't figure out what to do with it, and I've also bought some nice gear from other modelers there. As far as associating model airplanes with commodities and gold, I would much rather have the model airplanes, at least you can play with them.
