Collection Weeding Sales + a few gets

Apr 28, 2015 10:40

Hi everyone. I know I posted a collection update not too long ago, but since then I've decided to do some big collection weeding. The trouble is that I have no fricken space! I've accumulated way more items than I thought I would when I first started collecting, and as fun as it is, I just don't have room for everything. I've been spreading my ( Read more... )

I love those plastic box/cube thingies - may I ask where you got those?

mercurrix April 28 2015, 18:29:54 UTC

Thank you! I actually got most of them from my job. I work in a library and we use a lot of those acrylics for brochures, flyers and whatnot. I noticed a bunch of them in the trash one day so I snatched 'em up. I wish I'd grabbed more, they are /very/ useful.

The one in the middle is actually a beanie baby case (?) I found it at a thrift shop and just took the beanie baby out of it. hehe.

I see - lucky find! You used them quite well - I definitely like the idea and will likely incorporate it into my own collection since I'm also dealing with a space issue - I'll just have to find some first! haha :)

For sure! Just peep around second hand stores, never know what you'll come across. And welcome to the comm by the way! I guarantee that your collection will grow from being here!

That's very hard to admit to the comm about not collecting a species just to have that species! I'm a little embarassed to say that I like duck pokemon more than Pumpkaboo myself! (Especially that my name is pumpkaboo_patch). But I like your shelf even if you don't :) It's cute and all the colors go so well together :D

mercurrix April 28 2015, 20:17:48 UTC

I know, I feel like i'm betraying Absol and Weavile right now D: hahaha. I do think it's really fun to hunt for those obscure little items for each species, but augh it's just not realistic for me personally.
Ahh that's funny! Do you have any ducks in your collection? :3
And thank you! I'll probably end up rearranging it soon... the plushes are a big problem honestly, it's hard to stack them in a way that I like!

pumpkaboo_patch April 28 2015, 21:10:15 UTC

It is neat, you never know what you might find! And yes :) I have a ducklett poke doll right now and I'm eyeing the keychain of it and the psyduck fuzzy Tomy :)

And I can see that! Though I haven't run out of space just yet so I can't relate to ya just yet ;) Maybe a bigger shelf is needed!

Oh goodness..that SNIVY settei..looks amazing..better keep a close watch if you do end up selling them. X33

mercurrix April 28 2015, 20:18:17 UTC

Ah yeah! I might keep one but I will definitely be selling the other. I might put it up for auction, I'm not sure - I will be sure to let you know :>

tsutarjafan_18 April 28 2015, 21:20:03 UTC

Well if its anything related to Snivy, I'll definitely be interested ^^

pepperzark April 28 2015, 23:36:51 UTC

Ahh, i can relate. While space usually isnt an issue for me (i make space!) Ive had difficulties deciding what direction i want to take when it comes to my collection. I originally wanted to collect almost everything Reshiram, a lot of Mewtwo, and some Keldeo on top of all the Zoroarks, but ive realized that i just cant afford that lol

Sorry to hear your BW lot was disappointing. :( What was the name of the seller of that other lot you got? Because I also have one of my lots (the 200 sheet one) that I haven't gotten the payment notification for yet, either. I ended up having my others shipped out earlier today because I got tired of waiting. >.>

mercurrix April 29 2015, 03:22:35 UTC

Yeeah, I guess that's the risk you take with lots like these. I'll probably try to at least make a little profit on it so it's not a complete waste :P
The seller is flugelsfc. I was actually wondering if yours was the same person. Really strange considering this one has a ton of good feedback, no negatives at all within the past few months. Maybe they're on vacation or something...?
I was so worried that it was lost in the mail, but I'd totally forgotten that FJ will send you a notification to pay after you've won LOL. I always use my deposit to pay anyway so it just slips my mind until I win something.
Which lots did you get shipped out today?

methuselah31010 April 29 2015, 03:57:17 UTC

Yeah... Hopefully someone will be interested in them, though!
Hmmm the seller of mine is whalesfc. It is strange that both haven't sent the payment notification. Maybe I'll send another message and ask them to ask about it again...
I had my three lots of 50 shipped today. The two from the Deoxys movie, one being with Blaziken, and then the "Movie edition" one, which has Mewtwo and Lugia, as well as Rayquaza, so I don't know if it's a jumble of all the movies, or mainly the first two. I'm hoping for a messenger Dragonite, but movies always have good Pokemon, so I'm excited to see what's in it either way.

mercurrix April 29 2015, 04:44:03 UTC

Oh weird. Maybe there's a possibility it's the same person though - they both have "fc" at the end of the name and are selling the same things... but yeah I would definitely contact FJ. They told me that if I didn't get a payment notification within 7 days that I should message them again. Guh, I hope it goes through D:
I'm excited to find out what you get as well!! I hope they come in soon :D
