      I’d bet if you were a lego fan you’d say the same about legos.

      Housing and concerts are orders of magnitude apart in “importantness”. All of the items above are not needed to live. A home is needed.

        People who buy Lego to sell in the future actually do call it investing by the way

          It’s scalping if you have a quick turn around, it’s investing if you take care if it to sell farther into the future. Seeing a recently released limited set for double the price on ebay is scalping, seeing a 20-30 year old mint set for double the price is investing.

            If it’s a limited edition and someone buying it to “invest” denies another person’s ability to purchase and enjoy it then fuck the “investor”.

            If enough are available at the time that anyone who wants it can acquire it then I have no problem with someone keeping a copy in good condition to sell later.

        Define a “home”. A cave? A tent? A huge loft? What is really necessary to survive?

          You haven’t paid enough attention to notice that the tropic of conversation is that scalping is bad and property scalping is worse, which you seem to agree with, so I don’t know why you’re arguing with people.

        Yeah. Not to mention that a lot of people’s social identity, social activities and sense of community are all tied up in going to concerts together…

      An Important want for sure, but not a necessity in any way shape or form. You won’t die or get sick by not attending a concert or a guitar would be listed in survival guildes
