It really depends on the figure, some are get sadly more expensive on the second hand market but most only lose slightly in value. This also means though that you wont feel like a moron once you leave the hobby. Most money is indeed lost in shipping fees and taxes. By the way, myfigurecollection has a second hand market. When you place items on your wishlist you will get notified if this item is sold by someone. I already bought 3 figures this way.
Like i said i always love to talk about this as i rarely meet people who ade interested. So if you got any more questions feel free to ask me any time.
sure, will do. i have multiple “collection hobbies” and every single other one is valid, be it model trains, nerf blasters, stamps, retro consoles, garden gnomes etc.
every single one is interesting and nuanced in many ways, and i love talking about them. even if i often don’t understand the appeal.
dear god, they get expensive quick. i guess if i buy multiple i can at least save on shipping…
i’ll also have a look at local sellers and see if i can save a buck somehow, i guess buying pre-owned can help too.
thanks for taking the time!
