lol that is perfect..."renting"....I never thought of it like that....naturally, my initial intentions were to "keep" all my books, and only sell as I upgrade (or downgrade), but I'll be darned if there is just not too many books I want, and not enough money to get them all....so I have to sacrifice the books now, that I "hope" I can re procure later, to get the books now, that I might not later have a shot at later ...so, I will go where the tide takes me!

It's definitely quite a bit tougher to collect books without sacrificing books to do it. The "churn & burn" strategy you implement can be a bit off-putting to those of us who move maybe 2% of our collection in a given year.

 

But it is fun to see the scans. :)

:sorry:

2005 and 2006 I didn't "have" to sell a single book (had plenty of reserve).... (thumbs u

 

2007 I did sell the Batman run, but as originally presented on the boards, that was a run I was buying for a customer, so I don't really "count" that as me selling, as I only absorbed the run after financial issues arose...

 

but yes, 2008, has become the year of the "refocus" my collecting and "burn" what doesn't fit...but I am only trying to sell books that I think I can readily re procure, as my finances allow , because so darned many books keep showing up, books that are more unique...

 

I have realized that, unfortunately for me, I can't afford to keep all the books I want/have purchased (and with the action figure market taking a big downturn this year, I am not in the same position I was even 2 years ago)...I guess with a little more foresight and planning, I could have avoided this pitfall, but having been out of comic buying for 10 years (1995-2005), I just got a little excited (ok, a LOT) and like a kid in a candy store, I wanted everything .... I bought the "wrong" books, meaning I didn't prioritize my purchases and didn't have a contingency plan for the "big" books, and I have pretty much paid FMV on everything I have purchased (if I had of accumulated these books over the years, as many have, then I would likely not have spent what I did, and could keep them, and be less "off putting" )

 

but, I am still having fun, so until it stops being fun for me, I push forward!

Whoops, I hope I didn't come off as too critical in the prior post. :wishluck: I was just commenting on differences in collecting styles and didn't mean to pass judgment as much as it sounded like I was.

 

You da man, Rick. (thumbs u Seriously!

You da man, Rick. (thumbs u Seriously!

I didn't take it that way (thumbs u , but figured it was a good opening for me "explain" my current trend (I have gotten more than 1 PM inquiring why I would or had to sell Caps or MMC, or Tecs, etc)... at heart, I am as pure of a collector as most, I would hope, but in the wallet and in the patience department, I am not :(

 

I have overspent, and I now I have to rectify that ! I will take the lumps (cuz trust me, it hurts me to sell any book I have bought, second guessing if I can reprocure later) and maybe be a little smarter in the future (but, maybe not lol )

 

folks know that I love the genre to the point that I plan trips around viewing my peers collections (win's last year before chi town, pons con, parker's for geeking and football, this summer going to H-town for a game and bedrock geeking, heading to SD a day early to hopefully coordinate with STEVE and ronaldo etc, planning a MN con trip)...going to visit JBcomicbox and adam strange next month...I am just a "geek" (and, I still to this day, regret not being able to attend rarehighgrade's get together last summer)

 

so, it is all good !
