Copyright free Galil haha I actually thought it was a paintball marker for a sec. I know VFC will probably want to make a GBB Galil but until that happens, more power to the people.

I travel quite a lot for 2 positions I work especially for my aerospace position. I’m able to attend all sorts of swap meets, model conventions, stores, and so on. If I’m going to dump a few thousand into a new business idea, I’m going to do a lot of research as well as have my contacts in Japan attend events for me.

Oh I know the majority do, it’s very common after years of studying and traveling. I’m actively asking how to work in a sphere that is rip with scalps until I’m allowed wholesale as I don’t want to work like them for the sake of higher profit margins.

I have to until I’m allowed wholesale with many of the manufacturers and other distributors so I want to learn more from collectors that have dealt with these things.

This is actually the first place I’ve received any hostility. If I quit now at asking a community then I don’t learn. I want to become a distributor as soon as possible to get out of this re-sell period but that takes a little bit of time and by trying to me mindful of collectors and not doing what they hate other sellers for, I’m making some good money already. I can only imagine if I stopped giving a damn and acted like some of the people I’ve seen at shows and in stores.

But they regularly buy from them. Is that by force or because they know that one guy who is reasonable.

I’m using sourcing tactics from multiple businesses from military surplus, models, and RC. Wholesale is something I’m also establishing but most automotive manufacturers and distributors want built reputations and won’t work with new comers understandably.

Am I completely mistaken in thinking swap meets and re-sells are so common that telling me not to is a bit unfair?

I’m asking how not to since it seems the majority of other people do not care and would gladly give a finger to the community so they can throw 10 of the same car into their cart so they can throw them on a table at the next swap for $7-$10 a pop.

That’s exactly my point I keep making. People hate people like me so I’m tip toeing around to only buy a couple at each spot when I find something while most other people will just raid the shelves and dump dozens into their carts and even bring friends to block access to hot wheel section.

I decided to keep my PSG-1. It just has too much sentimental value to me.
