[QUOTE="Frunkstar, post: 557659, member: 314"] It's tough trying to stay in the game these days, heck I'd love to say hell yeah I'm actively collecting & adding to the display, but in reality I am semi actively looking as there is not a great deal that ever turns up for my focus that I need & usually if it does it's so insanely out of my financial reach it can be bloody deflating, I have added a few items over the past couple of years but it's been bloody hard work & not easy to fund. I have managed to do a couple of trades which has been nice, something I would never have done years ago, but sometimes needs must, as it's got to a point where cash is no longer king & even when you have a wallet of noes i means little to most that have anything they wish to part with, I sort of get the mentality as I'm never interested in selling anything from the collection at any price. I mean it really has become totally crazy, I collect baggies FFS, baggies were a commodity nobody cared a stuff about & most baggies & baggie related items were cheap, I remember buying my 1st Popy on here from Andy (spoons) & he'd had it up for an age at 100 quid with no takers & he kindly accepted an offer of 85 off me (me being the ever tight c**t), it is the most common of all the popy figures, but I guess in today's market you could add a zero to that easy, these prices just can't be justified by the average collector on a budget like myself can they? I still have a few items in on my radar, though the likelihood of me adding any is slim, it still does not stop me hoping - there is always hope!! [/QUOTE]
