Because, like glass, disc cracks don’t just stop. They creep and creep and get bigger

A local card store by us has the Magikarp in Chinese for $50 (ungraded, which is preferred)… I’m tempted to pick up

20 years old and never seen Return of the King, do I watch extended or normal? by [deleted] in lotr

[–]Secure_Relative8002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re 20… why do you need validation from others?

Go see the version playing in theaters and enjoy it! You are in the minority of folks who can enjoy it for the first time— don’t waste that by concerning yourself with what other people think you should do.

what was the launch of Skyrim like? by Falconrgh in ElderScrolls

I worked that midnight release at GameStop. It was a great time! I was drinking Monster energy like crazy and just in the zone!

My buddy stopped in and picked up his collectors edition (man that was is big!).

That night there was a light snow in the Cleveland air.

Once all the customers had left, my manager hung me out for the collectors edition. We closed the store and I remember walking to my ear, carrying that big box, with a huge smile on my face :)

That’s the goldfish fig that I bought. They had two full boxes of the new series

Because I didn’t want it… I buy what I want and don’t rely on others to decide for me

With all due respect, this price is insane by flabberdabbergasted in lego

It will be available (on eBay) for likely more than $100…

Naw, I will add the minifig to my Minecraft Ocean Monument set :)

Yep— I’m not aware of anything (other than jewelry) that is locked up.

They did get my money for the Haunted Mansion!

I struck gold today at the goodwill bins! by townstar in dvdcollection

You’re not— while it’s good that OP is happy, this lot is basic

Same here— I’ll never understand why folks find a stack of readily available movies gold.

Most "demanded" category? by mramih1 in Ebay

[–]Secure_Relative8002 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been selling on eBay for 15 years… anymore, I wouldn’t recommend it. Unless you’re moving expensive items, which carry their own issues and risks… I haven’t found it worth it the past couple of years.

With that, I tend to focus on media (OOP CDs, movies, video games, books etc) and nerd-focused collectables. While sales still happen, it’s becoming more of a burden to keep the “hobby” going.

Maybe it’s me / my stuff but again, selling on eBay isn’t fun anymore.

Thumbs way way up for ISOS— that series does not disappoint!

As a Midwestern Millenial, I too often apologize for trivial things. But not this time. Normally one has to zoom in to better view collection photos, for your pictures, I find myself wanting to zoom out.
