I\'ve been lucky enough to be able to either save or trade in the past for my stuff, but I\'ve mostly sold masks to get new masks. I don\'t want to do that, but if there\'s something I really want I\'d rather sacrifice a piece than save for it at this point...but, there are some pieces I will not part with 
As far as Myers masks go, I understand the point, but I also think they are worth the price. Sure, the best ones are the closest to a Kirk you can get. But that means that person would have to have access to a damn good Kirk to use as reference, which we all know is hard to come by. Plus, these aren\'t recasts...we\'ve all seen hundreds of Myers masks that either have \"it\", or don\'t. The ones that have that intangible creepiness I think are worth the money because there\'s obviously a difference between a Psycho and a Don Post \'85. I guess I\'m just saying that in the conversion (the hair work, eye holes, paint job) there is more work than meets the eye. All that work is well hidden because, if done correctly, it\'s going to look like a beat up, flesh colored mask that was quickly painted white and used on screen....the process to achieve that I would say is on par with some well painted veins, etc...
I\'m not trying to start a huge debate...just adding my two cents. And Bill, I hope you know that I respect your view and do understand where you are coming from.
