<p>[QUOTE="LMHESS, post: 2186765, member: 75003"]Collectibles in general are way down. I had some Hummels for instance that I sold at a true auction on ebay and I was only able to get maybe on average $50 for pieces that I paid well over $200 for even though they had the original box and paperwork. I ended up selling these since they were all in storage and not even being displayed. I ended up selling over $8000.00 in collectibles all $200 and under and even gave away some, which gave me the money to buy some coins that give me just so much more pleasure. Did I lose money? Absolutely, but I am happier with what I currently have. What I collected in my 20's and 30's is way different from what I collect now since my tastes have changed. I was always told to collect what you love, that way you will always be happy. I agree with the others above, sell what you no longer love and buy what makes you smile. Life is too short.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
