I collect things I enjoy myself and want to own and will hold their value over the time I'm their guardian. Only things different to that are those things with sentimental value. So if you'll enjoy it more by doing the stock, go for it. When you die, no other bastard will give a shit?

Hi Maca, I paid 600 for it and have seen them go recently for about 900. I just don't want to find that after getting it re-stained that it drops massively in value and becomes worthless because I have fiddled with it.
