OK, heres my scenario, I recently sold my 1963 VW Karmann Ghia to get out from under some debt. I hated to, but had little choice. I've come across another car, decent price that I could swing, that I'm looking into. I have my Joes, which helped contribute to my debt that I'm considering parting with and I have every issue of Amazing Spider-Man since #200 plus a few earlier issues. All of these are in very fine to near mint and mint condition. I can sell one or the other or both and I'm not sure what to do. My Joes include complete waves 1-9, TRU exclusives, Target exclusives, wave 1 vehicles, and all the comic packs. All of them are opened, but complete and in excellent shape. Close to 200 figures total. What should I do, sell the comics and the Joes or one or the other? I want the car, a 61 Beetle, so tell me what you would do. One, if not both, gotta go.

If you really want the car then part ways with both joes and comics.

good question. I think trying to replace the collection of comics and figures would be much harder to go about. The car you can get all of your money at one time and a lot faster. On the other hand you are out of a car. If it is the only one you have then your up that creek everybody talks about. On the other hand if you have another car then I'd say loose the bug.

Comes down to what you value most, the car, the joes or the comics. If you like them equal, keep your 2 collections and just try to save money over the next several years to get the car. I think the 25th collection and comics will be hard to replace and for much more then you are going to sell them for now, not to mention all the maintenace and gas the car will cost, so the investment return definatly doesnt favor selling off what you have, best to save up.

if you absolutely had to sell one, I'd go with the spidermens. that's not because i'm a joe fan, but because comics are easy to read digitally or in trades, while the figures you lose completely. i'd rather have either than a vintage car, but whatever brings you happiness.

Love the cars, but I think I can do both. I'll have to cut back on my troop building though.

I say wait a bit.. save some more.
The way I see it after I get my fill of BAT's, Snow Serpents... and then the Eels come out... there is no more need for troop building. |
