The chilhood dream becomes the childhood fortune

[Twinsan]

Welcome everyone to see my collection for the last time before it is sold within the next year. It's value in excess of £1000 or $1600

the first half

Ya know I kept all my old Pokemon cards for the same reason, hoping they'd be worth something. Turns out they aren't even worth the cost of the binder I kept them in

Ill just use them as coasters for my beer

[Styx]

The focus! My eyes! IT BURNS MY EYES!

In all seriousness though, cool stuff! I have a shitload of Magic: The Gathering cards that are "valuable".... just need to find some idiot who thinks the same

[Twinsan]

I think that Pikachu card is on the wrong place.

Pikachu, you're drunk, go back to Kanto!!

[Twinsan]

it's not worth anyways, i just have sentimental value to the pikachu card.

[marcosmapf]

why are you selling it then, if it has sentimental value?

[Twinsan]

obviously i am not selling it genius, it's just in there for protection.

I'd be careful calling something a "fortune" or planning on getting X amount before it's sold. Just saying.

Just a tip: If you are wishing to get XX ammount of money on a certain object, always increase the price in, like, 10-15%... the buyer will ask for discount and then you can sell for the price you want to.

But please remember, you are probably NOT going to get as much as you are planning to, so don't get your hopes too high.

it's been valued already XD. £1000 is no where near what it was valued at

I see, its good to know that you have somewhat planned things already It would be realy sad if you got dissapointed later on

So you've had it appraised by an independent 3rd party? That's good.

Yes I hoped it would bring a true figure to how much it's worth.

Do you plan to sell things individually or as one large collection? Also, are you going to try to sell to local shops or online?

one large, althrough arguably separately would gain more profit but is too much hassle and online

[Polaris]

Why are you selling them ?

[Twinsan]

Your the first to suggest, not to sell them, lol.

[Polaris]

Well I don't know, "childhood dream/fortune", "lucky charm" and stuff, but you never actually say why you want to sell them...

i want cold hard cash before they biodegrade

[Polaris]

So, you don't have any feelings for them anymore ?

[marcosmapf]

The feelings for money are greater my friend

[Polaris]

I don't know, that's why I ask...
