It is the rules of small edition that some people get and others don't.
There will always be brokers involved in releases that are worth being involved for them.
Nowadays auctions are easier and price inflates quick. Sometimes you get the best price week after item is sold out, rather than stashing it for decade like some have done.
I only wonder, is it worth of it? How much one could earn about selling couple extra copies to make transactions worth of ones time? I mean, few tapes bought for 6,- and sold for 20,- few months later, hardly is very profitable business. I mean - if you work, the hours pay is probably more than profit margin of usual UG broker on certain release. Only once in a while one may hit the jackpot. Paying 20,- for item and auctioning it for 100 or more. But still. 100? What's that in context of regular salary of working man in the west? It would be a lot, if it would happen all the time. If it happens once or twice a year, I can't see much benefit for seller. Other than the satisfaction to be in the game of rare releases?
I'm still waiting to hear it new GO and hope it will arrive in near future.
