I've spent at least $250 in parts on the Ringworld alone so far, and that investment is tiny compared to what went into projects such as Junpei Mitsui's <i>Yamato</i> or any number of Train layouts.

I also am a huge personal user of Bricklink, so any "company purchases" would effect me the same as anyone else, obviously I'm keen for secondary market values to stay as low as the next person!

Probably always have been, it's just the first time it occurred to me. The more competition we have there, the higher the costs will be. I don't think the average buyer has a company backing his purchases. So, of course average builders are now competing with modeling/design companies for parts on the secondary market.
