If You Could Put A Price On Your Collection...

[Commtech]

Right now, around 20k (being a bit conservative) and that includes all kinds of toys (action figures, busts, statues, etc.). I'm getting rid of some little by little.

If my wife or mother found this thread I would probably be shot tomorrow. In total between my 1/12 scale and 1/8 model cars...AND my SS PF's and 1:1's.....just over $50,000.00 EASY. This is not including 2010 SS orders

When I got my 1:1 Darkness bust I told my mom it was $300...

When I got my CM predator I told both of them...it was $500...

When I got my 1/8 Lamborghini Reventon I told them it was $800...it was REALLY hard keeping a stright face with this one.

Fictional cost for just these three so I dont get shot: $1600
Actual cost: $10,800......

and this is only a fraction of my collection...

i keep my collection in another room and since she doesn't like the wolf bust i have seldom goes in.

As they say, out of sight , out of mind

When I got my 1/8 Lamborghini Reventon I told them it was $800...it was REALLY hard keeping a stright face with this one.

WTF is up with that... I've never heard of this product before... but the cost for one I found on line was over 5K?!?

BTW, after checking my spreadsheet... the current value of my collection is: $29,694

But, I just completed a pretty serious sorting purge identifying a lot of smaller items totaling around $4000. So, once those are gone the current total will be: $25,559

I'd like to keep it to around the 25K-30K mark... at this point I'm pretty well maxed out on space and having to be more selective; hence the large purge.

This should be the warning sign for us:

You people who didn't charge your stuff are so lucky! Me, I'm clueless. I don't think ahead enough so I'm in the hole. Ah well. I'm attempting to sell stuff on eBay. I'll get back in the green eventually.

 

[Bezzerkerr]

$10,000 +

need to update the Excel, be back with exact #s

 

[quadcent]

funny reading all the answers to this question, i've tried to guesstimate how much i'd have, maybe someday i'll sit down and actually make a running inventory sheet and value everything.

it would be good to have anyways for insurance reasons.
IF i had to guess though i would say i'd be around the 30K mark. which i don't think is that big a deal since you could go buy a new car for that and next month it's worth 10k less.

 

[raider]

upto now its at the value of £22500, thats around $35k mostly all lifesize stuff with around another 3k on pre order, not good when your saveing for house deposit

 

[Balsquat]

Just the life size busts itself around $15k.

^^^^ yea brother

Seriously, I love my collection, but I've yet to own a piece that actually ever increased in value.

Its made by a company called Amalgam, they specialize in "made to order" VERY high qulaity model cars. They are made with very expensive materials...real carbon fiber, titanium and unmatched paint quality that Im pretty sure SS would never be able to match. I bought this Reventon for a modest 6k ......but was worth every penny. Oh ya....and its BIG!

Here are some cheap shots I took with my phone the day I brought it home. Im still working on a proper set up for this car in the theater room with my other SS pieces.

Unfortunately its the safest way to play bud....they would never understand if you tried to explain it to them anyway

I got the 1:2 Iron man ordered and the Alien maquette coming the first half of 2010.....both under $500 LoL
