we loved shoney's because they used to have a huge container of suckers that you were supposed to take one. i remember once, i think we were waiting for our parents to pay or something and all four of grabbed a BUNCH of them. pretty sure my mom encouraged us to. lmao

I romanticize both, English B&Bs in bumfucknowhere countryside and US motels on highways, I take both over any decent hotel, and frequently do. not sure why, it's both a world I didn't see growing up, I knew what hotels looked like. boring!

I remember seeing those blue joints and gray connectors at others' houses, usually on the floor disassembled. Luckily, my parents loved me - so I had lots of legos.

It gets to the point where you want to have two of everything, one to 'preserve' and one to enjoy.

But just you try selling that stuff later. You realize how hard it is to get the price you want for something; that the 'market value' is decided by a select few lunatics like yourself who suffer from the same disease, and finding someone who'll agree to your price is a nightmare. You're lucky to make a tiny profit most of the time.

Sold all my GI Joes, Star Wars figures, and half my comic collection to fund guitars, bass, amp, pedals. decent speakers, DAW. Never looked back. Best new hobby.
Yeah, the collectibles market is super fickle... Usually you'll take a hit in the long run... I'm a casual collector of sports cards, toys, comics, VHS' and other bric-a-brac and they're things you'll never get much resale value in... You kinda just do it for the fun of the hobby.

Things like musical instruments are always going to be MUCH easier to sell. I've had no problems whatsoever flipping gear when I needed some extra money.

I think the only collectibles that I've been able to easily flip for a profit have been old video games... But even now, if you go to flea markets and stuff, the sellers are hip to it whereas back in the day it was easy to get a lot of big titles for 5 bucks a pop.

The last house I lived in, there was a roommate who basically just vanished one night and never came back before I moved in. He was gone for over half a year & never contacted anyone in the house, it was just a room full of all this random shit (including what at first appeared to be cocaine but was ultimately just aderall or something) and one day we found these unopened vintage Yellow Submarine -era Beatles toys. Thought it was cool & probably worth something, regardless of if the dude ever came back to claim it all or not. Then one day, after we'd gotten someone to take his place, that particular someone found the packages one day and fuckin' opened them all. Just opened 'em and set 'em out over the floor or whatever, god knows why. But I'm not even a toy collector or anything, and that hurt me like a metaphorical kick in the balls!

In other news, I save my cum in ziploc bags. It’s about as worthless as a magazine with SP on the cover in 2018, and a hell of a lot more fun to collect.

Ah yes, Construx! Just like Legos only waaaay more limited so that everything you build ends up looking like scaffolding. I hate those too.
