I have collectables I cannot even give away

[Jack Klarich]

Hard to even find anyone interested in collectable stuff any more

I guess Covid has changed all of that and in a bad way

Jack, what kind of collectibles are you trying to move?

Jack, what kind of collectibles are you trying to move?

Harley stuff mostly, I have some Playstation stuff, some new some old

I have some Snap On tools gold laser etched as well as some Mac wrench anniversary gold

I have EasyRiders collectable metal foil cards as well as H D first edition cards

I have a Shit ton of Nascar, lots Dale Sr 2000 & down, lots of Harley stuff. It seems to be worth nothing.

My entire die-cast motorcycle collection lives in the museum in Sturgis South Dakota and two pieces will join them in the not too distant future. The economy ruins buying collectibles, as you never have any left over for hobbies you enjoy. I gave mine away and they are on display so everyone can see and enjoy them.

To me, anything passed off as "collectible" just might be questionable in the near future.

If it was going to be worth so much in the future would the original owner be trying to sell it now?

Like trike lady, donated some.. minialmist, speelcheck, seems to be the norm

The problem with collectibles is you have to find someone with similar interest to sell them to. That's why mine went to a museum, as no one would want them.

I have a small collection of oil lamps, they are mine and they have a purpose and that being should the lights go out I have a source of lighting. Some people admire the lamps especially the pair from the late 1800s and others think they're stupid.

You collect something because you like it.

I learned a long time ago never collect anything because it might be valuable. It wont be. I have a huge stamp collection that is probably worth quite a bit in Catalogue value but in reality nothing. During the Bicentennial I bought a set of china plates depicting the life of Lafayette and his actions during the revolutionary war as well as a leather biography. Not even worth what I paid for them, but then I like them and they bring me joy which was the whole point. I gave my collection of Hot Rod Magazine and Popular Hot Rodding (from issue #1) to a local hot rod club for their library. They were very happy.
