Congrats! That's incredible! You've inspired me to sell bits of my small collection that I'm not as interested in to pay down my credit. I can't hit the numbers you have, but every little bit helps!

Congrats again! Clap

Looks like you have gotten everything you could out of your collection , loved it when you built it and possesed it, liked talking about it and trading with other fans/collectors, and when the time came to make a big step in your life, you sold it and was able to get the money needed to move up into a house...that isliterally is as good as it gets. congrats.

I would providing I could find a way of avoiding fees....same goes for my comics, art, autographs, infact all of my collections.

Unfortunately I dont see a way round this for my top items. 10-20% consignment fees based on final value seem to a given.
