My donatello collection - Page 2

Donatellodude · 04-25-2015, 08:43 PM

Thanks everyone! It has certainly transformed from me telling my wife I was buying a couple from when I was a kid to me contemplating an attempt to have an absolutely complete collection. Right now I'm at a bit of a cross roads with if I continue or scale this back down to my initial plan. I have the attention span similar to a kitten on crack. I have amassed this collection in about 7 months scouring the net for everything I could find at the right price. I seriously have bids on 100s of figures a month hoping at least a few slip through the cracks and go cheap.

The collection may go up for sale if I can't get this new real estate project flipped in the next couple weeks. Trying to pay back a 100k loan from my 401k before my tax extension runs out and I'm stuck with a huge bill. May liquidate a lot of my toys and a car or 2 to pay this back in time. But that's life as an investor. Glad everyone enjoys the collection and if I do sale I'll post here before I go to ebay. As of now if anyone is interested in anything I'll entertain offers.

Makes me wish my settlement for my injury case would come in already. Cause once I take care of the bills and such I need to on my end (and get some teeth that need some major work on-and possibly getting myself a puppy heh), I'd SERIOUSLY would take you up on your offer and probably buy several things from your collection!

Sorry that you're having to wind up selling off some things, but we know how that is, life. If I needed desperate cash, I'd be selling my stuff off as well just like you. So I hope things end up going well for you. If the universes align and you're selling around the time I come into some cash flow, I'll definitely keep my eye open on this thread for sure.

EDIT: Yeah, looking over your pics of your collection again, I could seriously hurt myself for the amount of Donnie stuff you have that I wish I had. I bought the re-release of the old Donnie figure that Nick did, but I'd seriously want my hands on an original, old school, Don figure. I'd want that Donnie troll, all your little special Don figures (especially that metallic one-been wanting that one for a long time), don't even have Mystic Don yet, haven't found any of the T-Machines Don, there are a few old school figures I had at one time, but had to get rid of when I was a little girl.

Just yeah, may be a tad obsessed lol. I could seriously just hurt myself and have such a field day with your collection lol :p
