For those buying for future resale, I recommend buying a variety of lesser price quality items. There are two main reasons. First, when you go to resell, there aren't many people who are buying single items for $5,000, but there are loads looking to buy $100-200 items.

Second, it's really really really hard to predict accuratly what a single item will actually sell for-- not theoretically, but what wil be the winning bid in an eBay action. Having a diverse selection of quality items will make up for this. When you sell, item A may sell much less than you predicted, but item B may sell much more-- so it all evens out.

Lastly, the quality of an item as an ivestment is only as good as the price you paid for it. Investment potential is regularly whiped out by people who pay retail.
