I bought my all number matching Super Grade Russian SKS at Canadian tire for $84.99 on sale from $124.99. There was a whole rack of them. There was also a Kar 98 for $250 and I thought that was crazy.
If only I knew.
When I grew out of Lego I sold it all. The sets I remember having total around $10,000 for loose condition.
I had a complete set of the first gen Pokemon cards. They went through a period where the price was sliding when Ebay came around and the pool went from local collectors to worldwide, so I sold the set on the downslide.
Ninja Turtles toys, N64 games... I did the math on GME afterwards and if I pulled every penny from credit cards and LOCs I could have made $16,000,000.
Can't horde everything and can't recklessly gamble. Just tell hindsight to chill out a bit.
Definitely 👍 I got a ton of good milsurp stuff for peanuts. I was fortunate.
I still have all my retro gaming stuff too. Held on to that.
I never sold much, so no regrets there. I just wish I had bought more of some things.
