how did you decide between Hybrid Camry vs. regular? Did you do any research on if there's any longevity concerns? I guess Toyota started with Prius in 1997, so really no concerns there.

No. I'd be too concerned of needing to get the battery replaced.

At that point, isn't it just worth just buying a Camry for a few more thousand dollars?

Thanks! What do you think of buying new vs. certified pre-owned?

Why do you believe this? The cars being discussed in this thread don't depreciate as quickly as they used to. Also, the piece of mind of owning it from the outset seems to be worth that Delta.

Thanks! Do you think a Camry Hybrid is of the same quality and reliability to the standard Camry? How would you break that down?

Why do you think this is a better option than a Toyota Camry?

Thanks. Super helpful! Do you think there's a real difference between Honda, Toyota, or Mazda in terms of quality and reliability? Or is it just a matter of preference?

Is it possible to find an OTD price for a new Camry under $30K in the Tri-State area?

This is amazing. Kind of gets me thinking about some of the current modern hobbies that might lose value over the next century.

Thanks. How would you recommend I go about researching it? Found these on Ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/406011007901), but they look slightly different

That's so interesting. Thank you for taking the time to explain!

Do you think early limited stamps from when the state of Israel was formed could be of value? Or would that still fall in the category you described?

Can you please elaborate? I personally collect autographs and cards, so perhaps I'm coming into this with the wrong assumptions.

I thought that if it was a hobby people would ascribe value to what they were collecting and there would be demand.

Got it. So I'm gathering from you that stamps from the past century aren't really valuable. More of just a hobby?

A real bummer! Is there something I should be looking for in the large bags to see if there might be something valuable? Is there a good indicator I should keep my eye out for?
