I was not aware that how much I paid for a strike was a factor in how much the strike is worth. I have a couple of rare strikes that I only paid $15.00 for years ago. Does that mean I can only get $15 for them if I want to sell them? As a matter of fact this is the strike my husband (not a collector) got for playing. What it is worth? I am not sure but if someone really wanted it I would trade for a $200. If you only entered the tournament without rooms the fee was $200. I know the aurgument that you had an opportunity to win money but most people played for the fun of it not the actual monetary reward. Should people have to clear with you before they offer a trade? As far as being unethical I just don't see it that way. No where in our bylaws does it say you can not make a profit.
