I am really sorry for what happened to you, Mongo. Too bad, you made the very drastic decision to quit this great hobby. But if that improves the relationship with your woman, than it is understandable...
My advice to collectors is always:
- Start in the safer area's of the hobby (for example standard SA's) and build up experience before moving to the more exotic stuff (like R�hm's)
- Spend only your own cash on your hobby and just the money that you will not need for at least the coming 10 years (same rule as for investments in stock!)
- Never let a seller put pressure on you and if you have the slightest doubt than don't buy!
- Ask as much (expert) advice as you can, like Gailen said: we are so spoiled thanks to forums like this one! Personally, I am only collection since the Forum era and honestly, I would not have dared starting without it!
