The Purpose of a Toy

I strongly believe that the purpose of a toy is to make someone happy. It doesn't matter if that person is six or ninety. A toy is not for a "Limited Edition", or an investment, or so that one person can buy all of them to put on ebay for twice what it's worth.
But because I'm here to help, and not be negative I have some advice only for those who are such gigantic losers that they have to buy a toy for $40 and sell it on ebay for $80. So here is what you can do: Download the Robinhood App and start trading stocks. First of all it's more suited to the level of schmuckary required for reselling anything for a living and it's far easier. You don't have to take pictures of the stock and put it on ebay, or pack it up and ship it. You can even borrow a stock and sell someone else's, you can't do that with a toy. And you can read books on selling stocks, get good at it, make lots of money and then people will praise you for being a giant s#!tbag! It might even lead to real estate which is the top of that food chain.
If you find that doesn't work, I would suggest learning a skill you can sell, or go back to school. It's a bit more work but will lead you to better places.
And lastly if none of those two work, I suggest you hold up a liquor store. One of those tiny independent ones where there's a good chance the owner has a gun. It's still better than reselling toys, and that would leave all of the toys left for the kids of all ages.
Oh and then go to the gym or do a sit-up once in a while and either tuck the shirt in or leave it out but the half tucked look just isn't working pal.

And to the toy makers, this crap of making a few or a limited number so they are exclusive and hard to get... it's a toy, it's not plutonium or a vaccine. or a fancy glass egg. It's a damn toy, make enough for everyone jackass.

I paint toys and so I have a small collection of things. I enjoy getting them and doing what I do. And I am aware that toys, and my art are forms of entertainment first. So that they come home and look at the toy on the shelf, or my painting on the wall and it makes them happy. A toy should not make someone angry because they couldn't get one, and then they have to pay two or three times what it's worth because someone else bought them all, or because the company didn't care enough to make sure they got one. It seems too many people have forgotten the purpose of things and are just getting it wrong.

Just some friendly advice from yours truly.
