I dont know what the best way to get rid of all my minimates is though... Any Suggestions? Give them to me. Kidding. I believe Ebay is the best option for Minimates. Or you could offer them here and sell on ebay what's left. I'm sure someone here will give you a fair deal on the minimates, especally older ones (at least new collectors will) or Variants (most everybody will.) BUt if you do give them to me, I won't complain But remember, if you're going to definately get rid of them, don't do it if you think there is the SLIGHTEST chance that you will get back in. Because then you'll regret it. It'll be a pain in the ass to chase them all back down again. Edited February 20, 2009 by Trekker 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 The best way to maximize your money would be EBay, but if you are into some other collectible line, you might consider offering them up for trade here. If you do a trade where you give 5 Minimate for, say, 1 6 inch figure of some type, or a CD or DVD, or whatever, then you might help to kill 2 birds with one stone.

Look up the lyrics, or you know, watch it. It has a lot to do between S7EVIN and his Minimates. And us. I'd really hate to see you give up your collection. Are you sure you wouldn't rather just hold onto them and wait for something you like to come out? A whole bunch of awesome stuff was revealed at ToyFair, so it's definitely worth looking into. Like Trekker said, it's going to be miserable getting back what you gave up. If you've really lost interest, maybe you should just put them away? Then if you think about them again, you can just pull them out and look at them and see how you feel then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha... and True, last time i put them away was when the big TRU 10 pack came out and finding minimates at stores was hard, but now they just kinda sit there If i keep them, they are only gonna collect cold dust.... I am being sworn into the US Army in early August right after my bros wedding... then comes my senior year and then off to boot camp.. so theres not as much time fro them as i would enjoy Edited February 21, 2009 by S7EVIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max13 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Good luck! That sucks not having you here anymore. I'd suggest selling here and then putting the rest on ebay. I agree with Trekker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 If you want to sell them ,then sell them & good luck to you. I have had to make similar decisions many times with varying degrees of regret. In the times were living in there are many,many things that are more important than the 'things you collect' & despite my obsession with collectables I wouldn't hesitate to sell off my stuff if I had to. Without boring you rigid my life hasn't always been a 'bed of roses' & my 'collections' have been sold off to 'help get a deposit on a house ....then pay the (then) girlfriend off ..pay the mortgage...fix the car.. & on a couple of occasions ....eat ....etc.etc.etc.' I have also sold comic collections that "I've grown out of" What an idiot ! If you are sure you've lost interest in Minimates ,sell them (I've sent the PM hours ago) but if you're not ,shove them back in the drawer ,let them gather dust until the time comes when you need to remind yourself how much pleasure they gave you. That time may not come... but perhaps if it does I can assure you that that moment will be priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimlock King Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Best of luck in the Army... but i say, keep 'em! So when you get back and you will come back! They will still be there when you're ready to get back collecting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 my 'collections' have been sold off to....then pay the (then) girlfriend off There are of course, 2 ways to respond to that... 1. girlfriend = prostitute. 2. girlfriend has pictures of BHM with farm animals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) No offense MOC, but your "jokes" recently seem to be particularly mean spirited.

I sometimes like to think that the best way to treat any forum is to imagine we're all together in a bar and speaking face to face. Seriously now MOC, would you say that to someone's face unless you knew them (and they you) exceptionally well? I know I wouldn't. It's worth thinking about people.

I respect your opinion, and am not trying to be argumentative, but I was joking, and yes I would have said that in a bar...because it was a joke. I really think sometimes, the written word (especially in forums) people read too much into things. Now having said that I also know that a smiley doesnt allow us to say anything we want and pass it off as a joke. So if I hurt your feelings BHM I do apologize...it was meant as a joke, I really do not think anyone has shots of you with farm animals. moc847 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappy Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hey S7evin, the beauty of Minimates is that they don't take up much room at all when piled in a box. While I suspect you've already put thought into this decision, it couldn't hurt to put them away for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
