Someone who wants to make money like that on the back of a gesture by his/her employer shouldn't work anywhere.
An act of kindness and appreciation gets abused to try and make fast cash.
Bweik!
I agree 100%.
The same applies for the ones that are buying limited editions and are selling them to other collectors charging 30-40-50% more. It’s not nice.

This is a little different. The LEs are presented to the general public for acquisition. If, later on, you want to sell them with some profit, I see nothing wrong in that. These, however, were presented to the employees personally. It's like selling a wedding gift you received...
IMHO, of course.
I see the collectors community, as the word says, as a community. It's a shared love. I don't like trying to get advantage on a shared love.
There 2 ways in my opinion: you buy something paying normal price, you wait it to gain value, you sell it. I am fine with that. But i saw people buying 5x of the limited 100 years Elesner for 90/100$ dollars each and selling them the day after for 140/150$. That's unfair. That's the same thing that happens with concert tickets.
That's my opinion though, so i could be really wrong.
Sorry for the OT. This case is even worse as it's a gift for your work. Especially if one asks 18000$ for something he didn't actually make.
For the value i think we need at least a bunch of people who bought/sold it to value it
I read an article on the local newspaper but there was nothing more than the auction price.
