I can't believe it - today is the penultimate day of the month, tomorrow is pay day, and I haven't bought a single Star Wars item I'm pretty sure this is the first month since 2014, when I started collecting again after the earlier theft, that I haven't bought anything for my collection.
I haven't quite been completely innocent, I have bought a games console, a few records and a couple of computer games. I'm not one for setting a budget as that has never worked for me, but I regularly set myself the goal of not buying any Star Wars toys for a full month yet usually fail, so am very pleased that I have finally managed it!
I think there are a few reasons - as you may have seen I had a baby 6 weeks ago, and my job is pretty busy at the moment, so I have had less time to browse for things to buy. I have lots of eBay saved searches, but none have yielded any decent SW stuff this month. And also I'm not sure about anyone else, but I definitely think the market is cooling off at the moment so whereas a year or two ago I would buy things that obviously I liked but also seemed like good 'investments', now I'm really only buying things I want for my collection.
Anyone else slowed down recently? Or like me struggle to go without buying stuff every month?
