Kids Just Wanna Have Fun; Don't Let Them

When I was a kid, I had these...:



...and my sister had this:



What's funny is that those three toys, packaged and in mint condition, could fetch over $1,000. The same goes for toys like these...:



And I had a lot of 'em!

Of course, being kids, we didn't see the big picture. We just had to play with these valuable collectibles. We didn't even save the boxes they came in. Boy, were we stupid!

So, if you are contemplating buying dolls or action figures for your kids, go ahead. But whatever you do, don't let them have any fun. Keep the toys in their boxes, safely tucked away where they can't be found. Your kids will only render them worthless.
