The Collect to Collect Code of Honor
Collect to Collect is a program started by Mr. Philip Wise (Rebelscum.com) to promote the hobby of Star Wars collecting. The principles behind the Collect to Collect credo are two-fold: aid your fellow Star Wars enthusiast and discourage those who collect strictly for the sake of profit. Collect to Collect means doing your best to observe the following collecting etiquette:
- Buy only what you need and make sure others get one before you get many.
- Acquire pieces for your collection because you want them, not because you plan to profit from them.
- Help others achieve their collecting goals for the sake of the hobby, not profit.
- When you trade or sell available toys, do so at cost.
- When you trade or sell unavailable toys, do so keeping the golden rule in mind: you'll always win in the long run if you don't take advantage of people.
- Buy from scalpers as a very last resort. They exist because people buy from them and do not make collecting toys easier. Scalping only promotes decay within the hobby.
- Understand it is more important for a kid to have the toys than you; help them out whenever possible. You're likely to get another chance at the toy, he/she may not.
Collecting Star Wars toys means different things to different people. For some it may be one of each Star Wars action figures to play with, for others it may be two of each package and figure variation in the world. Either way, it's up to you. You don't have to agree with the collecting goals of others, but you should respect them.
