I've been selling off action figures that I collected a couple years ago and that means I have money in my PayPal account.

Money in my PayPal account means I bid on things I don't need on eBay.

I bid on a sealed Lego set this weekend that was my holy grail as a kid and by some weird case of luck, I actually won for half of what it normally goes for.

I already own the set though.  Bought it a few years ago.

But brand new! 

Sealed!

It's going to have that brand new Lego smell and a little catalog and that little flyer to sign up for the Lego Mania Magazine. Unblemished minifigs!  Unscuffed transparent pieces! 

The boring part of me wants to keep it sealed and try to flip it for profit closer to Christmas.

The bigger kid part of me wants to open up that nostalgia bomb and enjoy the hell out of it. 

 

I guess basically I think I'm supposed to feel bad for buying a set I own, but I don't because its like my favorite set and I"m gong to enjoy it like crazy.
