Having trouble scaling down my collection. Advice?

[AdventureVisual]

I've sold a lot of my collection over the past few years. I've kept maybe 10% of my original collection. I don't really miss the items I sold. The reason for my sell off is that I am a new father ... trust me, kids change your life AND the way you value your collection.

Like others have said, if you aren't displaying it what's the point of keeping it? I end up cycling through lots of different figures, statues, comics, etc enjoying it for a few years and moving on to new things.

If it doesn't fit in with your current collection sell it if its in a box in storage sell it.

i'd say sell of your current collection and keep the one that doesn't fit.

When your wife/significant other isn't looking, ask each of your figures an intimate question. Whomever answers you with sarcasm or doesn't look you back in the eye are the ones to go. I've tried, it works.

Collect and keep what you really like and sell the others.

Not even sure how this is a topic, to be honest.

Unless he really likes them all.

Unless he really likes them all.

In that case you keep them all.

In that case you keep them all.

That was not an option, hence the asking for help thread to try and trim his collection down. Apparently though he figured it out, checked and he has not even been on here for 6 months. Guess he sold them all or got buried by the mass of them.

I think having a number limit is probably a good idea. If you find yourself going over that maximum number you set, then it's time to have a look at figures already aquired and decide on if you'd rather keep them, or the new ones coming out.

The collection numbers can swell pretty quickly when you're collecting a certain line. I've gone from 8 figures to 25 in less than 2 years. That's a pretty big jump for me seeing as it took 2 years to get those first 8 figures.

 

[67L88Stingray]

How do you set that number though, something like maximum able to display at one time?

 

[koon]

I don't think that works...

I assume that mountain does not stay like that though, so it don't count

That's my problem. I opened every figure I bought. I want to show ir

I'm actually approaching the stage of trimming down my collection as well. I'll be building my man cave in the coming months and there is NO WAY everything will fit. I want my final collection to be closest to everything that makes me happy. Parting with some items will be tough, but will be worth it afterward.
