Hello, everysmurf, long time no see. I've been pretty bust lately but I thought I'd smurf in because I'm having a bit of a dilemma.
As I've said before there is a local shop that sells vintage goods, including Smurf figurines. At first I thought there was only 1 official one there but as it turns out, there were actually quite a few amongst the kinder egg smurfs. I smurfed 2 of them and I later learned that one of them was pretty rare. I want to go back for the rest of them but I'd feel bad if I didn't leave some for others, even though the shop owner said "people usually come in to look at them but never buy them" so it wouldn't be like I'm smurfing anybody down.
What should I do?

Spooky and smurfy! <3

Hi, Inky! How about describing your Kinder Smurfs to help identify them, or posting a pic then?

Keep on always smurfin'!!

I don't have them. They were just the majority of what the shop had. I don't wanna run them dry of all their actual smurfs if there's anybody else around me that wants them, even though the owner said there wasn't. But the two that I did buy were the number 1 teacher apple smurfs and the football smurf with an uncolored number. In our system the teacher one is 4 stars of rarity and the football one is only 1.

I second Smurfy, Inky. Since the shop owner told you no one’s been interested, then why not acquire the Smurf figures that have pleased you most? Go for it! ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

It's great to hear from you again! It sounds like you're in a tricky situation, trying to balance your personal interest in collecting the Smurf figurines with leaving some for others to enjoy. One option could be to consider purchasing a few more figurines, but making sure to also spread the word about the vintage shop to others who might be interested in collecting. This way, you'll be able to grow your collection while also supporting the shop and potentially bringing in more customers. Ultimately, it's up to you to weigh the factors and make a decision that you feel comfortable with.
