Shameless Plug #1

Things are finally starting to pick up on the inventory reduction process. Old books and video games are starting to sell on Amazon, and I finally got off my rump to start the process of selling off my massive vintage toy collection.

For those possibly interested, check out this weeks eBay auctions.

In response to an earlier comment from Plungerhoo aka BrerSkwerl, who for lack of a better term called me out as a hypocrite for selling my old toys, I shall disagree. For one, my baseball card collection has a monumental personal worth to me, and I am not in the process of monetizing my collection. I'm more interested in thinning it out by trading cards to fellow collectors. If I can obtain what I need/want for what I already have, then so be it. As my wife told me the other night, go for quality, not quantity.

Anyways, I know for a fact Hoo is just pulling my leg and giving me grief, as we are friends, but it got me thinking about the toys. He said I should keep them for my kids, but to me, they don't have much sentamental value to me, plus they take up uber space. If I can sell them on eBay, which is my preferred free market venue, then I should sell them. If it helps another collector get what they are after, then I am happy to provide that service. True, it never hurts to get extra bank roll for something you no longer need/want, but I hardly feel it makes me a hypocrite. Alas, I am keeping the toys that were important to me, like my old PlayMobil sets, and my Brigade of Army Men...

Does anyone disagree?

PS - I recently won a contest on Bad Wax, so at least I will have that pack break to show on the next post.
