What do you do when there is nothing to buy or trade within your collecting focus do you wait or expand your collecting focus?
Jack it all in and sell me your AT-AT Drivers!Wreck-It Ralph said:What do you do when there is nothing to buy or trade within your collecting focus do you wait or expand your collecting focus?

it's a marathon not a sprint, sure if u don't buy stuff not it'll be more expensive later on.....but you need to think 'do i really need this' at times. I've let multiple items go and short-term regretted it but things come back around and sometimes the deal you get can be better than before.

Then take a small hammer and chip away at a couple of bricks. You'll realise how much fun this could be. The cigar, the little hammer, the relaxing and sitting atop maybe staring into the distance, daydreaming. That wall becomes your friend. You fall in love.. you make love to the wall.. the wall gives birth to smaller bricks. you build a weird brickchild house to live in.. you start smoking stronger stuff.. things get weird.. you call yourself mr and mrs brick.. the police take you away..
Bloody miss you mate :lol: Hilarious, but oh so true. Oh so Pete!naughtyjedi said:im not a high end collector, but there are still hard to come by items that I pursue (vinyl especially, some modern lines that appeared briefly). You have to be constantly working towards it, new selling areas pop up all the time, auctions, facebook groups, people selling up, whispers rumours. There is no time limit on the hobby, no brick walls, just hurdles to negotiate.
