Baggies, the facts!

Dear Ocd'ers, Price sticker or no price sticker?

Not a deal killer, but no sticker is very much preferred, especially on more common items.

I'm now holding auditions for "Baggies: The Musical", I'll be playing Mike J.

That's the second time today I have burst out laughing at work and everyone wanted to know what I was laughing at!

[megoapesnut]

I'll play Bennie the Box and I don't like price stickers when they are on the face of something, especially carded figures, but I do not mind them when they are on side panels of boxed stuff. It's kinda cool and depressing at the same time when you get to see what the stuff sold for. However, like Dan, I would prefer no sticker, but beggars can't be choosers as in my case with some of the stuff I gun for.

There, I think all covered all of the current thread topics

Oh, yeah. Restringing - don't have an opinion yet on that.

No stickers preferred, but not a deal breaker on a nice item.

Price tags? Other than those giant florescent Two Guys and Lionel clearance tags, I dig them! Mego Talk

I prefer a price sticker, if it's an old haunt? I'll pay more.

How about a replace window box cello? or those cello head bands?

Price sticker fan myself....I have boxed and carded Mego's that I will not sell BECAUSE of the price sticker....for some reason I am a BIG sucker for K-Mart stickers.

I personally wouldn't make that change to the box. As far as the cello band I would just go with out

Though I prefer original head bands, if they are missing, or repro, it doesn't bother me too much.

A replaced cello is a no-no in my collection. However, if it were a really hard to find and/or pricey piece, and I were getting it for a hell of a deal, I could deal with it, though it would always bother me a little until the piece was upgraded.

[megoapesnut]

Yes, I am in agreement with everyone. That would be a deal breaker for me. I'd probably rather have none on the box than a replacement. It would certainly have to be a very hard to find piece for me to even consider purchasing, I would rather wait and find one that has nice original cello.

[LonnieFisher]

What if you couldn't tell the cello was replaced? What then? How could you tell?

[megoapesnut]

Wouldn't be able to tell. At least I wouldn't be able to if it was a good job. Others might know some telltales. I was referring to a sale or auction where the seller described the piece as having cello replaced. If it was replaced and I couldn't tell, then I obviously wouldn't be worried about it. It isn't something I look for when I buy pieces either, just something I would avoid if the seller made me aware of it.
