[QUOTE="Palifan, post: 546354, member: 4095"] Great article and my collect ting habits have been on my mind for a while now and this also makes me think about what I have. I buy fewer and fewer SW items each year now and have focused a lot more on other vintage and custom toy items. The problem is that I still have everything (for the most part), and can't really display a lot of it at the same time. There are also a lot of items that don't really interest me in the same way that they did when I bought them so it does feel like it's time to thin out some of it. I have been doing this with my SW items, especially with things that I ended up with multiples of due to upgrading. There's still a little more to go with this but my collecting space is getting pretty cramped now and I'm still finding things I want each month. I feel like it's getting to a point where I might need to just turn off some of the FB groups I'm part of and the content checking on eBay, as it does take up time each day and also makes me always aware of something else that I really want. There's also the expense which I've been on top of with items I've sold, but I could do with selling more to help out with the cost ( the customs aren't in the vintage SW price range but it can all mount up quickly some months). I keep putting the decision off about what to do but I can feel like that time is rapidly approaching and I'm also interested in hearing how other people are feeling about their collecting habits. The end of the day I need to own my collection and not let it own me (as it feels like it does sometimes). Ian [/QUOTE]
