  1. My husband and I got sucked into about 4 years of Funko Pop collecting.  They are fun, but it can become a bit of a habit, they take up a lot of room, and you have to be so dang careful with the boxes.. one dented corner and you loose value.  And they fall and dent easily.  Then if you want to try to resale, shipping is a bit of a pain the butt, being that the box must arrive perfectly.

    We amassed a collection of just over 1,000 items.  Pops, plushies, mystery minis, and some other Funko products.  Most of it was in storage totes we bought, some was on display, some was in closets.. lol, it was everywhere.

    So I finally decided to hunt down a bulk collection buyer and sold the collection.  The buyer paid 50% of the Pop Price Guide value. (PPG is an app/website that tracks the value of pops and allows collectors to manage their collections.)

    We ultimate kept about 100 items from movies and TV shows that we love.  All together we made a net profit on the sale.. but probably not if you consider time invested in the hunting/buying/housing of our collection.

    It was fun, and a good portion of the money I earned from the sale of the Pop collection has been reinvested in bullion and NGC graded coins. :) 

     

    Ohh btw.. I just found the Chibi coins tonight. .. .. ..  .  uh oh...
