Newer people just need to accept that obtaining clacks takes patience and luck nowadays. If you were here two or three years ago that wouldn't be the case and this is why you see some members with large collections out there. Please don't throw your wallets around for clacks because that's exactly what perpetuates the high price problem. I realize that it's NOT only new members who do this but you're the only ones who might benefit from an explanation like this. Everyone else knows better, plain and simple but choose to facilitate the inflation anyway and no amount of reason will stop them. I guess that's something we all need to accept too. It's a hot button issue here at geekhack and has been discussed at length countless times.
I'd really like a yellow CC Skull, for example, but I really can't afford to throw hundreds of dollars at one, even if one were to appear in classifieds.
So I'm biding my time and hoping that CC will provide some for sale at some stage, and maybe, just maybe, I'll be lucky.
Or I'll wait another year or so and perhaps a generous GHer will have pity on me and sell me one for cost plus a little.
If not, then I'll just be happy with the two or three I have.
