:lol: I wonder how kids (whose parents aren't playmo collectors) perceive grown-ups who like toys more than they do. I wonder if they think we're weird. :lol:

all our friends with kids love to visit us. sometimes the kids are like "i want to paint something now" and daddy : "hey come back you are attacked by pirates"....

but i think some def. will think we are crazy - i love that

It can be very interesting to see adults and kids reactions  ;D

I was going to pick up a big big box of Stecks from a teenager. I had to talk to him over the course of a month or so as he thought I was so weird I must be dangerous. He even had me talk to his parents to check me out. When I finally went to pick up the box and I started sorting it and saying "oh this is from set 3666 and this is from etc....." he really started to show signs of concern, and he backed away from me  :lol: It helped in the financial negotiations though  ;)

Are you really selling these treasures? I could use about a dozen of each set and even then I would want more for dioramas and play.

her 2 sons stood also in the kitchen and i began to talk about system x and steck and blahblahblah - after a while and a little monologue i looked at their faces and they were looking like : what the heck is he talking about... :P

In such a case, in Dutch we use the expression: "ze stonden daar alsof ze het in Keulen hoorden donderen" (they stood there like they heard thunder in Köln)  ;D  ;)

Gis: first i hope your haul also arrives in good condition !

first we - the collectors - should get a chance to get these. we are collectors and not interested in earning money with selling those sets to a collector who may just desires this special set.

Your theory sounds right but the prices wouldnt be as high without the collectors bidding for them. the museum is currently auctioned at the local Dutch site and is already at 115 Euro out of the box with yellowed walls. Sellers are only able to have these prices if the market is able to bear them. Can't say I blame them, it's economics...if collecotrs will refrain from buying certain sets at certain prices they will drop.

Or we just convince Playmobil to reprint them and sell them at a decent price *grin*

Hadoque : wow - i didn´t know that before and i have a lot of dutch friends...

Gis : but we can use our knowledge to get the sets for a good price. the museum is built out of many steck parts which are not really special. what´s making it special are the signs. i just finished the steck gasthaus and the only thing i bought overpriced was the sign.
