>>9839979How is it a weird projection when that's extremely common, especially here on /toy/? way too many people here worry so much about the resale value and keeping shit in box. Just look at the BST.
And I honestly can't think of a time I've ever sold a figure.
I almost always just give shit away. The rare times I ahven't was making a trade, and usually for some figure i had doubles/triples/quads/quintplets of because i bought some boxed set or lot.
I don't need 3 Chuckles and there's always collectors who regret army building and don't have the money to buy overpriced exclusive sets
I also have traded some figurines shit i wasted my money on in the 00s, back when Japan could only make ugly 5PoA-shit. But most times i just gave shit away here too.
>>9839973it used to be worse, where people proudly showed off their wall of boxes, blocking off doors, doorways, windows, because their bedroom is the only place his parents allow him to put his toys.
