I've been collecting many different toy lines for over 20 years, with G.I.Joe being my main focus. When new Joe stuff comes out I head to eBay, and start selling other lines I've collected: Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Big Jim, Tmnt, MOTU, etc. Once the money starts building in my Paypal account, then the fun begins.
I find this a great way to clean out figures I don't want anymore, making room for new ones. It almost feels like trading, as no physical money is exchanged, alleviating any guilt you might feel if you had purchased them in a store, not that I've ever felt that.
This is how I completed my ARAH figure collection (82-94), and also purchased most of my 25th, and ROC stuff.
Tip: It will also keep your partner happy, cleaning out your old stuff. They'll think you've given up collecting, that is until the huge parcels of Joe stuff start arriving in the mail.
