depends on the point of view. it's mint all around and I can't complain. If I pay 800 plus shipping for a used-looking copy or an even grand for a mint one - who cares

The thing that I was refering to is that many collectors would neither pay 800 for a used copy, nor 1000$ for a mint one. I guess it depends on the money one earns (or gets from his parents in many cases ) and ones idea of what is really fun in collecting. I think one of the things that provides a lot of fun is getting CDs below their normal price, tracking bargains. Brute force buying is not as fun.

So in that case everyone's different. You can't convince Grimlord for having an item most of the users here don't have just because he paid more than others would.
