The biggest one on your shelf that's almost being hidden by those can-looking things. (My describing skills are just incredible, I know. Lol)

That one is a Toy Factory big plush!

I'm sorry that you had to face such a rough choice on your collection. :( But I'm glad you were able to come to a decision that you're content with, rather than continuing to kick yourself about it. <3

I'm just curious, how much did you have in mind for the Charmander plushplush?

Thank you so much, it means a lot to me to hear from other collectors that this isn't such a bad choice to do. I am very heartbroken, but in the end, I will be happy as well that others will go to loving homes!

Honestly, I paid 100$ for my Charmander Plushplush. I also admit that I could use the money for now, so that's the one I was thinking about auctioning off. If it won't get a bid of 100$ at least, I might be willing to go lower as well. Just an fyi, the tag is also quite damaged.

I don't think it's a bad choice at all! I think it's very reasonable and practical to consider selling off your collection if you feel like you can't currently accommodate it. You can always try picking up those collections again later if you do upgrade your living space and feel like you really miss those collections. :)

I'm very interested in the plushplush, so I can guarantee you'll get at least $100 if you do decide to auction it. ;) The tag being damaged isn't a huge concern for me personally.

Yeah, you are right, thankies! I mean, these collections have so many things, I can get different ones anytime pretty much!

Okay, sounds good, thanks a ton! <3
It will take me at least a week or two before I decide to auction everything, and I also first need to take care of some metal figures pre-orders before I can make my sales post!

Thank you, it means a lot to hear that from you! <333
I hope so too! eBay would be the last thing to do, but I personally hate using eBay as a selling tool...not to mention in what hands my collections would end up in!

Thank you so much hunnie!! No, I will always keep my collection site up, because I know there are other collectors that have looked at my site for inspiration, which means a lot to me!

Yeah, we'll see how it goes first and see later then! I assume you are always interested in more Suicunes right? I have actually found a pretty rare book that includes really unique "Where's Waldo?" kind of like pages, where you just search for your fav Pokemon. I was thinking about auctioning off that one, as that one wasn't very easy to get.

I'm sort of the opposite collector... I typicaly get one plush per Pokemon, and I have a lot of different Pokemon, so I look at the plushes that are available and get the one I like the most. (though sometimes I might get a second or third if I see something I like.) Maybe keep your favorite one per Pokemon?
I have that big Sniny backpack too, but I cut off the straps cause he makes a better plush anyway.

I had been wanting to get the Serperior Pokemon Center plush, but ebay isn't the best choice for that it seems. Would you consider selling him? (her?)

hebilea August 7 2016, 18:32:58 UTC
One plush per Pokemon is very smart imo! However, for me, there are more plush of one Pokemon that look nice, hence why I can't resist myself XD
So yeah, I will keep the ones I love the most and that's it!
Yeah, the backpack is so damn cute, but since I live in a country where wearing backpacks like these isn't appropriate, I have no way of wearing it.

Actually, I am pretty much keeping all Serperior plushies, since she doesn't have that many in the first place! I might decide to get rid of one or two, but definitely not the POkeCen plush! Sorry about that!

Ah ok.
Incidentally, what about clearfiles? I don't get them, but I HAVE had a marginal curiosity about them if the art is good and it has Pokemon I like. Specifically, this caught my eye.

How much do clearfiles cost? And how big are they? Like a sheet of paper?

I sadly don't have that specific clearfile, just went through them all!
They are as big as A4 papers! I list them according to rarity, but from 8 to 15$ I believe?

I feel your pain - I'm in the same situation looking at some thorough weeding as I've been more interested in buying pokedolls and people merch recently.

I'd be very happy to adopt your mantyke pokedoll and give him a loving home. (I'm guessing you're keeping your shiny snivy plush!)

hebilea August 7 2016, 18:41:17 UTC
Yeah same, except I have been more interested in things I can use, so stationary, tins and the like (of course a plush or figure here and there)....I am also super happy about It's Demo, because I like nail polish XD

Ok, thankies! I will think about my Mantyke pokedoll, that's one of the nicer Mantyke plushies out there. And of course, I couldn't sell my shiny Snivy so easily, I love her too much :D

schenzi August 7 2016, 19:15:28 UTC
Lol, I couldn't afford your shiny anyway XD

I've been facing some tough life choices recently and I'm not really sure that I'm happy with my decisions so I think I need to weed and save in case I choose another path in the future -_- My collections take up about 2/3 of my flat so I could really do with the space too.

I'm not looking to expand my snivy collection tbh. I'll be mostly concentrating on weeding my meowstics and minccinos (and maybe my penguins and pachis). I should really weed out my MPC plushies too but it will be really hard to let those go.
