I love reading rereleases, they allow many to purchase cars that have long been OOP, or, are way to hot to buy, due to said greedy monkeys.

If you start throwing profit into it, IMO, your not having fun anymore.

I love your thinking, as I can't think of any of my cars that I could break even on after cleaning them up let alone make a profit lol. For me it's the joy of owning a buggy I used to have or 1 I never had the chance to.

with re re it gives you the chance to either buy a new 1 or use the parts to rebuild the 1 you have either way win-win

I've got a couple of nib buggies in my collection atm and they will all be built because for me what's the point of owning a box of parts that you can't enjoy building or looking at, just my insane way of thinking
