Agreed. Anyone looking to make a profit off what they've had on their shelves for years is, in my humble oppinion, nuts. Sure there's going to be the odd piece that's increased in value enough to give you money in your pocket after the transaction. Mostly though, things will depricate in value unless you keep them in a tub, untouched, for another 15-20 years.

I'm looking to dump a fraction of my collection this fall too. I believe that on most of the figures, I've gotten my money's worth and thus will not be expecting a bunch of money to come back from it.

of course, there might be people of the opinion that the price they paid for the toy when it first came out/when they first got it, is worth the time that they've had it/the enjoyment they've gotten out of it, and just be happy to make any money off of something they no longer want/have room for.

I'm in the process of trying to decide what I want to get rid of from my numerous collections of stuff, and really, don't regret buying hardly any of it, so whatever cash I do make off of what I sell will simply be more money I can spend on the new shiny.
