The things I feared the most while collecting statues.

[devilof76]

My attic is bursting with boxes, as is one of my closets. I wish I could just toss them out, but I can't risk the hit on the value of these should I need to re-sell some of them.

I just moved all of my boxes into the attic and was impressed by how little space they took up.

You guys need to learn the meaning of restraint.

Sell the junk off = more room

If it's boxed up and not on display, you don't need it.

If it's boxed up and not on display, you don't need it.

All those statues inside the boxes inside that room are fully displayed

My toys however....

If it's boxed up and not on display, you don't need it.

That would be my entire collection then. I just don't have a space of my own right now.

My attic is bursting with boxes!

You and me both bro... its gone from being one of my funny eccentricities to a major bug bear with my wife.... I swear its like the warehouse seen in Raiders up there... only without the room to move.

 

[wookster]

Says it all....

Okay....I rearrange my statues boxes and it took about 5 hours categorizing where everything are laid out on a chart. This is a 15'x12' room and i can maybe fill another 10 boxes before that room is completely filled to the ceiling. I cant even close the door now

Have the door open to the outside, that should give you space for 10 more boxes.

I keep my collecting in check by buying on displayability basis, if I can't display it, I don't buy it, it works for me cause I buy only pieces that I cant be without, and eliminates any possibility of impulse buys, if it's a preorder I start planning as soon as I place it, and if it's an already released piece then I give myself atleast a month, but I always worry about where I'm gonna put it first then I buy, your collection in boxes in a room somewhere to me is like not having it.

Just watched my first episode on Splice of Collection Intervention (a Barbie & a G.I.Joe / Diecast car collectors and there collections are pretty small compared to mine.

Essentially their partners are the ones that initiates them to get rid of there collection. I guess i'll be single for a while

It just want to say that my relationship with my EX ended because off my excessive collection.

On the bright side, no nagging now

Pretty much why my marriage just ended a few months ago. I'm still in the post marriage hangover but the possibilities are going to be unlimited.

 

[comicbookguy]

Especially with all those pervy statues

I would liquidate my entire collection if life necessitated. Family comes before toys. This thread is makin me sad.

 

[gagaliya]

this is a little disturbing to say the least, People actually chosing there collection over there family theres got to be a better way

[grphyx1]

get rid of the brown shipper boxes, you'll be surprised how much room they take up

 

[grphyx1]

[VS1976]

Bro. u should get rid of unwanted stuff ........

Just Bison PF, Hobogoblin comiquette & Daredevil comiquette... Those are my unwanted pieces. Some of those, I should have never bought in the first place.

get rid of the brown shipper boxes, you'll be surprised how much room they take up

How would that save space when you still have the art box?

oh and sell me the Batman Killer Croc statue

Maybe

Because money is useless paper based on owed debt only recognized by society because of it's current status. If there was an economic collapse it would be hard to barter for needs with dirty colored paper.

Then again comic/pop culture based statues may not be that much better.

Of course if he decided to collect gold or silver then that would be more worth while.

Smart answer!
However, guns, ammo and food/water are better to collect then all of the mentioned above. Gold/Silver only will go so far. Water will be our most precious resource if the infrastructure fails

The Vs code : "Statues before hoes". I think i would have seriously reexamined my whole collecting philosophy if it meant saving my relationship with a chick i liked.
