Title: Cleaning up, and decide what is leaving and what's not...
Post by: Amd on October 09, 2012, 21:38:58
Well like the subject says, cleaning up,

i've been collecting playmos for 7 years now, and even when i don't buy as much as i used to i haven't clean much either.

my main theme is medieval, although now i have trains, victorian and western...

a few years back i sold most my victorians and my western, i do remember big lots of union soldiers and a few victorian houses gone... suddenly i have 3 victorian houses back and some western, never sold my conferate ones...

also a few years back bught this big lot of trains with playmobil  RC and LGB  from a kid, 1000 dlls, i told my wife, i'll sell the LGB (3 complete sets) the RC tracks, and i'll make 1000 back, and ill keep my playmobil RC trains and the brass tracks... i still have some cars, and some tracks, and lots of the sis X station and modern building...

i used to live in a apt, and keep my playmos in a storage, now i got a house but haven't fix my garage and haven't cleared up space...

i know for sure, all modern have to go... cars, buildings, clicks, etc also my beloved eskimos, and arctic explorers...

its going to be a long process but i'll be letting you know guys!!!

Yeah, if there's an ocean between you and him, there must have been a major earthquake somewhere! :giggle:

Anyway, looking forward to hearing more!

ooops, Yes I see now that Amd is not in Europe like I too quickly assumed  :-[ Its always my luck all the big collectors who are thinning out are over there  ::)

I looked it up and he is in Southern California  :P  :wave: :wave: :wave: Umm I am in northern California and could easily go visit my wifes family in Santa Barbara or LA  ;)

Yeah, if there's an ocean between you and him, there must have been a major earthquake somewhere! :giggle:

Ha ha, you do not know how many people think this will someday happen  8}

Well.... I'm interested (I really shouldn't be, but.. eskimos and artic do that to me!)

Still.. think hard if you REALLY wanna let them go.

If you are going to let it go, its best to leave it in the hands of someone who cares about it as much as you do.  :)

Maybe you could keep one theme apart from medieval, personly I have both medieval and pirates.

With all the great themes, it is very easy to stray and pick up more than you feel comfortable with.  It sounds to me like you have made a good start in decision making.  The first step is always the hardest.  I have to agree with Rhalius.

If you are going to let it go, its best to leave it in the hands of someone who cares about it as much as you do.  :)

I think finding a good home will make letting them go a lot easier.

Post by: Amd on October 13, 2012, 23:27:46
well, haven't clean much, but i have now the theme division:

1.- Western:
        have to divide the indians, cowboys, the union, confederate, the buildings, the forts, etc!
2.- Transport:
        All sys "x" building have to go, hate them!!! airport includes buildings, cargo, train station, autoservice station, train stop, and all my RC tracks have to go, hate them!!!
3.- Train:
        Even when i'm not in the RC i hope to change the RC trains in electric ones, make a display for all cars and engines!
4.- Victorian:
        Here in one of my main dilemmas... is a bulky theme, i sold three 5300 already, one 5303 2 years ago... but i have now four 5300, one extra floor, few green trucks, and a blue one, 4
      lamp posts... goes great with my trains and my western as well, but i may not keep my western either...
5.- Eskimos:
        All my eskimos and artic have to go!!!
6.- New in box:
        Most of my NIB not medieval related have to go!!
7.- Service and construction:
        All construction related, firefighter, police, medical have to go... is not much...
8.- Vehicles:
        All moder vehicles have to go!!!
9.- Medieval:
         All medieval have to stay!!!
10.- Zoo:
         All zoo and animals have to go!!! (except medieval related)

and i think is the main division, i'm happy i'm sure of what have to stay and what have to go!!!

Let us know what you decide with regards to the Victorian stuff. I may be interested in trucks and/or lampposts if you decide to rehome them.

Title: Re: Cleaning up, and decide what is leaving and what's not...
Post by: Rhalius on October 14, 2012, 10:42:49
Maybe you should first focus on getting rid of all things modern then, and after that you can decide on other things.

Post by: Tiermann on October 14, 2012, 15:01:00
I would be interested in Eskimos, train and some System X. Possibly some zoo too depending on what's there.
Title: Re: Cleaning up, and decide what is leaving and what's not...
Post by: PlaymoMan on October 14, 2012, 16:16:52
Hmmm, I might be interested in some of the System X stuff. Perhaps some of the police, rescue and construction sets too. :)

Title: Re: Cleaning up, and decide what is leaving and what's not...
Post by: Amd on December 02, 2012, 19:18:40
well, after a month of sorting, i sold a good part of my bulky temes, still, have more stuff, like the "X" city construction, and planes, and who knows what else is coming out…

i'm selling on ebay my stuff, the price has been decent, and i try not to think a lot on the final price, otherwise i will stop selling it…

but i got rid of good amount of stuff, I'm happy with getting more space to play… and i got my self a few bookshelf from ikea with glass doors, haven't got space yet to put them, but i'll put my army.  and keep more order for god sake!!!  ;D
