I did a partial trade for my CT-100 with good 15GP22 this week. Why? Partially because I was rather ambivalent toward totally restoring it, partially because a potential move overseas would be complicated by a CT-100, but mostly because the individual that wound up with my set is hellbent on getting his 15G based set operational.

I also traded away a 1955 Hoffman Colorcaster. Why? Because the other collector seemed to like it more than I did, and he had something he was looking to get rid of that I wanted.

In both of these trades, the other collectors and I walked away very happy. I can't think of anything better than that. I would rather be known for my generosity and willingness to help others when I can, than hoard sets and have them rot in my basement. I have found in my few short years in this hobby that my approach has paid off for me numerous times. To each his own I guess...
