yoda said:I have been searching and I am sorry if I have bumped this thread and it's not suitable. Is there a 'Pickup,' collecting thread? I could only find this regarding losing the collecting Star Wars bug. I am going through this stage myself at the moment. Nothing serious just considering selling everything I have bought over the last few years. I will never sell my childhood figures and ships but I feel the buzz slipping.
Does anyone else ever feel like selling their own personal collection (not for financial gain) thegave built up?
I sold a extensive collection 14 years ago with many rare Palitoy items (30 Back Fett & IG88) and Kenner (Vlix, Telescopic Ben,Vader & Luke) plus many others. I did not regret it as I put the money to good use and started a property investment company which I still have today. Although I did not regret the sale I did miss the collection so decided to start re-collecting last year. Thankfully I have been able to re-buy everything I want except the 30 Back Fett.
If I were you I would not sell anything rare or anything that would be difficult to replace without properly thinking it through which includes discussing it with those closest to you. Then try to imagine how you would feel not owning that piece anymore. If you do not currently display your items then maybe this is something you should do as for me seeing my collection was much more enjoyable than storing them in cardboard boxes. I think the most important question you have to ask yourself is will I feel better or worse when it is gone.
