My MU collection is the only collection I buy doubles, so I can open one and display the other but that is only if I like that character. The MOC figures goes on my wall and the open figure goes right in front.
They only time I bought a double for profit was the Spider-Man 3.75 Shocker that is so hard to come by. I had found them in my local Zellers.. Had to fight to get them because they didn't scan in the computer and the worker there didn't want to sell them to me because they "weren't in the system". After talking with the manager, I was able to leave the store with 2. 1 for my shelf and other for trade. When I uploaded the pic on my facebook ( like I do for all my collections) the owner of the Store that I get almost all my figures from offered me 20$ in store credit because that what he would sell them for in the store and he had someone looking for one. So it wasn't a huge profit, to was a few bucks. But it did help out another collector in my area. And what I liked was the store didn't mark it up once they credited me. I find that really honest.
theres my 2 cents
