Collecting can be lots of fun whether you do it for fun, or for profit. I love searching for new collectible video game keepsakes, boat, ship, and train models to add to my collection, or rather “collections” at this point. So whether you enjoy collection metal toy soldiers, Barbie Dolls, rare coins or stamps, there is a collecting web or internet home for you out there in the form of and internet group ready to support you and the kinds of things you enjoy collecting.
Ebay has become a great place to search for collectibles as some great prices but there are also lots of other really neat places on the internet to look for collectible additions to your stache of unique keepers. Currently, I am growing my Halo 3 collectibles, for those of you who are not familiar with Halo 3, or Halo Wars in general, that happens to be one of my favorite video games for the X-Box 360 that has led to my Halo collectibles that have come from gifts from friends, my own purchases, and some really need finds at thrift stores.
I am into collection for both fun and profit, to be honest, most of my true collectible are not for sale, but I have been lucky enough to have friends, and a few customers, who have made their collecting choices known to me so that while I am out looking to add to my own collectibles I also look out for, and sometimes, pick up items I know others are looking for. As a result, others have done the same for me when it comes to spotting something not right for their collection, but okay for my collection so that over the years a kind of supportive collection network has been set up.
The supportive collection network was not something I actually sat down and planned, but I am still pleased with how it all worked out. It all starts with making contact with other collectors, in my case, that was usually through different Facebook collecting groups like the one I joined for Halo 3 collectibles Halo Collector Buy Sell Trade. Usually, all that’s needed to join one of these groups is a request from you to become part of the group, after a short time your request should be answered. I did notice that some collector’s groups were full and not accepting new requests to join so be patient and explore other collector group choices before you give up.
Once you join a collector’s group depending on why you join, meaning whether you’re a seller or a buyer it’s usually pretty easy to figure out how to proceed from there. One of the good things I learned about the collector’s groups on Facebook was that if you don’t find a group of collectors there to match your collecting interest, you can always start your own group for whatever your collection is.
Follow me on Ebay, and let me know what some of your favorite things to collect are.
