I try my best, I aim for 50% of value for most collections so I know it is the right balance of low enough that I can sell half a collection to break even or the whole thing to double my money but at the same time high enough to be fair to the collector.

Pop Fun To Play once again nothing but respect for you my dude and it was awesome to get a replay I’ve also subbed to your channel.

Thank you for the sub I really appreciate it.

Yes I agree you also get my respect for a number of reasons but a big one is that your honest

Thank you, I appreciate that.

Thank you, happy you enjoy my videos for what they are and not what they are about that makes me happy.

Don’t ever they are very addicting and expensive

same

Have you bought one yet

@@tomholder6958 full ufc set and most of the game of thrones set. The kids have loads 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, I need to do a video on how to pack large collections. It needed more cardboard or boxes for each level to support the weight. But I did get him to put the top pops in boxes and those all arrived perfectly. He did give me a partial refund on the 2 pops that got damaged so I am very happy overall.

I am happy you enjoy my channel, thank you and your welcome :)

Happy you enjoyed :)

Thank you :)

Awesome! Thank you! Happy you found the video.

I love them too, when I have the shirt on I know I am wearing something cool and if someone disagrees I feel bad for what they are missing out in life. The Big Bang Theory is a big part of my families life so I love that set. I really need to get all the con exclusive versions of them. And Goonies is a classic!

Definitely a ton of really awesome pops.

Thank you, definitely an epic haul.

Its all good there is so many older videos that even if you binge watch it will take weeks haha

I am happy you enjoy.

Yeah all really awesome pops, Happy to have them finally.

Thanks ;)

Glad you like them!

They are for sale in my store, right now I am not doing any mail order due to time constraints.

Pop Fun To Play thanks for the reply! I live in the UK unfortunately but thanks anyway dude!

Your welcome :)

Thanks :)

Thank you. Yeah I am very happy with Micheal Jackson, I have wanted them for a while so I am thrilled to get my first one. Hopefully I can find the rest for a deal eventually. Thanks for watching, I hope you find a Micheal Jackson too for a good price.

Thank you :)

Thanks, this was an epic collection.

Buying collections is definitely a fun way to collect. Thanks for the sub, I appreciate it.

Thanks ;)

Thank you. Definitely some really cool pops.

Thank you, happy you enjoyed it.

HeHe the Package did come from someone in Georgia.

Thanks ;)

There are a few versions of him, they are all pretty cool! I do like the one that looks like his original comic appearance though the most.

Thank you, I am happy you enjoy my collection. The Pop Rocks line is a really cool one and one of my favorite. All the earliest Pop Rock Pops are so hard to find for a good price. I need to get the Garbage Pail Kids as well they are cool.

He is a very sweet pop, one of my favorites.

Yeah prices have gone up a ton on these since I bought them.

Very cool, It might stick around since its pretty pricey but I tend to price stuff and forget about it so if the price spikes up he will sell, that is usually what happens.

I love Goonies as well, such a classic. I was so happy to finally get a Pop from the movie. They are really hard to come by a good price these days.

Yeah it is kinda crazy how much people pay for him and hes not that limited.

Yeah he is a crazy pricey pop.

Yeah its really crazy. I bought a lot of 20-30 of them for $100 from someone trying to clear them out of their shop right before they were vaulted. Its crazy you could pic them up for less then $5 each back then, now they are in high demand and hard to find cheap.

Thank you, he is a cool pop.

Hey sometimes you need to give a collectible a sniff test when judging its condition. The Smell of smoke lowers its value for sure.

Pop Fun To Play I get it it was just funny I collect pops but not nearly as much as you keep up the good vids !

Thank you :)

She is an awesome pop. Back in the day I wanted her but she was $7 everywhere on sale so I thought of I will wait on her then they announced that she was going to be vaulted so I decided to grab her for $8 on amazon just in case. I am so happy I did because she is one of my favorite pops.

SO LUCKY! I wasn't into pops that much when she was out otherwise I would have jumped on it, you've got a nice collection and look forward to some more videos!

Thank you, I have a huge collection haul series coming out this week.

Thank you, I am happy you enjoy it.

Pop Fun To Play thanks really love your channel

I kinda do lol he has already looked at the box a few times. He has more toys then the average kid and I want him to play with them and not horde them so I will wait until I can find an out of the box one for him cheap.

They are really sweet, I thought I would never have them because they prices shot up so high.

Very cool I appreciate it, I just stocked all the Wrestling Pops from this video into the shop.

Thanks ;)

I really do, its one of my top priorities, I just need to figure out the space to do it

It'd be amazin'! Also, where's your shop at?

Its located in Brooklyn, NY its called PopFuzz.

Yeah it already worries me. But honestly since the boxes are so thin I have had some problems with box damage in bubble wrap because of squeezing pressure if there are too many pops in a box etc. I am happy if the items are in separate boxes in the box so the pressure on each pop is low and if there are no boxes, you put strips of cardboard a little higher then the pop boxes so the weight is distributed away from the boxes. I need to do a how to package a large collection video one day.

show these lamo's how the pros do it.

You sell airsoft guns? 👀

I don't

i do lol.

I am Happy you are enjoying my channel.

Yeah this one was definitely one of my most Jaw Dropping videos to date. When they guy sent me photos of his collection, I think he did not know what he had. MJ I am keeping but the CM punks I put into my shop.

😀👍

😀👍

Yeah this collection was packed full. Just goes to show if we had all known in 2011-2014 what we know now haha

Pop Fun To Play right I so agree. I pass on the biggie and 2pac a long time ago. My wife even told me to get it. Lol and I pass on it. Ugh still kick my self about it. Dude I was watching and I was just as excited as you were lol. Hahaha. Dude I was thinking wow if this is what he wanted to part with. I couldnt imagine what he kept.

I actually think he kept stuff he liked not based on value but what he liked the best. I think he did not realize how much the value had gone up when he contacted me.

Pop Fun To Play yeah man that is the best way to do it. I recently got to a point where I only collect what I like. Because I would just pick up anything that would come out. Dude one day I’m going to go to New York to visit your store man.

That would be very cool. And I always say collect what you love and you will always love to collect. If you worry about missing out or value too much you end up collecting things you do not enjoy etc.

Glad you enjoyed it

I should log them all into a app but I like to compare each pop I get to the one I have already so I can find variants etc.

And the cm punk be he is a lot 😢

Yes I put them all into my shop, the CM punks are very pricey indeed.

Thank you, I am happy you enjoy the videos.

Honestly in the Pop world right now prices fluctuate so fast the values would be absolute in a few weeks.

Thank you, I definitely will.

haha

One of my all time favorite pops.

There is a thin line but a distinction. A collector is someone who acquires items in regard to how they add to their collection. They take into account the value of those items, their historic perspective and how that item adds value to their collection either culturally of monetarily. The Collector will spend time sorting, cataloging, and preserving their collection. A collector will prune their collection when they no longer desire to own certain items or they know those items are no longer something they need for their collection. The collector will put in time to share their collection with other people and to try to teach their knowledge to other collectors. A hoarder is someone who acquires items regardless of how they add to their collection. They fail to take into account the value of those items, the items may have no significant value either to their collection of items or culturally. The hoarder does not spend time sorting cataloging or preserving their collection. They neglect their items and many of them end up being damaged or destroyed. There is no care for the collection. A hoarder fails to prune there collection and rather spends the time acquiring more without thought to if they have room money or time to deal with those new items. The hoarder does not spend any time sharing their collection and most of the time hide their hoard because they are embarrassed by it. Many people know collectors they think are hoarders because the collector shares their hobbies and makes it know what they do, where as many people may be clueless that a friend or an acquaintance in life is a hoarder because they hide what they have and do not share it with the world. And finally a Hoarder does not spend any time teaching or sharing their passion because they collect so many different random things that they do not acquire knowledge along the way while hoarding. A true collector will have a passion for what they collect, tons of great stories of how they have collected each item and its impact on their lives and will be happy to share and or show their collection to others. I hope that helps define the difference between the two. There may be collectors with massive collections that seem like hoarders and hoarders with relatively small collections of things but its how they treat those items and how and what the collect that matters. I always say any collector can be one tragedy away from becoming a hoarder.

Fantastic response, thank you.

When you’re keeping stuff you don’t actually like, Misfits Fiend is a good example.

Not sure if that is aimed at me lol, the Misfits Fiend is an awesome figure, who would not want to keep that? In the 1990s I liked Danzig for a little bit, I was not heavy into the Misfits but I always liked the imagery of the Misfits Fiend which they took from the 1940s movie the Crimson Ghost. I like old school horror so the character fits right into that old school aesthetic. I would collect other Pops if they made them based on 1940s and 50s horror and fun house imagery. Also I have spent the last 20-25 years of my life buying and selling music so I have owned Misfits records many times and Always thrilled to find them for my shop since they are hard to find for a good price. Music is a huge part of my life and who I am.

Pop Fun To Play Not at all, I love the figure, but also love the band, and your videos are great so no that wasn’t at you. 😂 keep up the awesome work friend.

“Luck Is What Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity" Seneca Hehe I always like to use that quote, if you work hard and prepare for opportunity you will find deals like this pretty often to the point it no longer feels like luck but part of the job. Definitely an awesome set, I had them all except Sheldon so I am sure someone is going to be really happy picking them up from me. I need to get all the limited ones now. Good luck, I hope you stumble on a nice deal one day yourself so you can have your grails too :)

Well regular price is $8-$12 so not too pricey but the ones that go vaulted or are sold out do tend to get pricey.

I have two people already buying them.

Very true. I really love comics too!

Thanks :)

Its spring cleaning time of year, I always get hammered by people cleaning out collections because they want room or are moving. Its a huge benefit of owning a store, people find you.

I think they are kinda hard to get, the prices are crazy high for them.

I do take pops out of the box to enjoy them but then I put them back. What I do not like doing is dusting and cleaning my collection, I have done that in the past and its way too much work and not enjoyable to do. I have 3000 so it would be impossible to have them all on display without spending many hours a month cleaning them and taking care of them. Instead I take out the ones I want to display and take pictures take them out, take my pictures or make my videos then I put them away carefully so I can enjoy them again in the future.

Oh very cool, Some of them have low value right now but I have a feeling some of the limited ones will eventually catch on.

Pop Fun To Play yeah I don't know much about pops don't really care to either funny enough they had an obi wan Kenobi pop forgot to get it an i typed it in ebay the next day it was like 150 200 oh well

The ones I did pick up was a Darth Vader holographic blue wacky wobbler an I picked up a boo berry blox I think it was called an they had some higher end figures not pops I picked up they wanted 4 or 5 on some of the wobblers an 10 on others

Crazy!

Pop Fun To Play tinypic.com/r/11cbq5u/9 I took a pic of some when I was there

My shop is called PopFuzz and is about a 15 minute subway ride from union square on the L train so easy to visit after you visit Forbidden Planet. After you check out Forbidden Planet, look for a guy selling comics in front of the Gamestop on 14th street, he sometimes has some nice stuff for a good price. I also like to checkout out Book Off on 45th street pretty regularly they have a large wall of $1 comics. Book Off is about 5 blocks from Midtown so its easy to check it out after browsing Midtown comics.

That is still a decent deal though, nice score.

Pop Fun To Play I didn’t pick it up at the time because I wasn’t too in to pops and I didn’t understand pricing and such but now I wish i did

Yeah the values on some pops is kinda crazy. Honestly no one knew how crazy it would be. When I first started collecting I thought it was crazy when anyone spent more then the retail price for them.

Pop Fun To Play definitely especially when you lose money on a pop when at first you made profit

Haha I am a old man, my language is pretty set lol

He is still a cheap common so out of the box probably around $5

Yeah I knew something look different, I will probably end up keeping both version then.

That's cool! Whenever looking at dc pops ,especially the older ones look for the dc universe line on the front of the box ,that shows that they are more valuable than the standard dc comics ones.

Sloth is definitely one of my favorites in my collection now. Thanks for watching.

More music Pops in general would make me happy. Id love a set of Primus Pops.

Pop Fun To Play I just saw Primus and Mastodon in concert last Fri!

Very cool, ive Seen Primus maybe 6 or 7 times been a fan since the mid 90s

Nice you have some grail pops there for sure.

@@popfuntoplay yup for sure! 🔥🔥♥️

I have a physical store in Brooklyn, NY but not an online shop.

Pop Fun To Play What's it called?

PopFuzz.

Pop Fun To Play Thanx!

I collect for myself, I do think about future value sometimes since its the business I am in but collecting for value is bad way to collect. You should always collect what you love so you love to collect.

hahaha

Thanks for the sub.

People say that a lot, I am working on a video on that topic at the moment.

Beanie Babies were just stuffed little bears and other animals. While I do believe the Funko Pop bubble will bust one day, I believe some of this will hold their value because they are actual things people collect. Superman Star Wars Marvel all that stuff is collectible

And that is only one of the reason why its different. I am working on a video on the topic because there are all kinds of ways they are different.

Could say the same thing about comic books

@Frank Sanchez Comic books especially golden age through silver age are extremely valuable , especially first appreance and orginal prints. Certain things will retain value such as Marvel , DC , Star wars + more. Recently found my father comic book collection and went through it and found comcs worth a few thousand , which is how i got into more comics and now funko pops. Certain things don't fade

Yes I am they are both in my shop now priced near ppg price, I think the regular one is around $120 and $170 for the hot topic exclusive. I would have to double check.

I cant say its cool haha but what I can say is they make pops on almost everything so there are so many shows movies games etc that have Funko Pops that do not have other toys etc. The things that are made into Funko Pops is what is cool.

It really is, if you focus just on new releases for retail and not get upset if you miss something its not too bad. It is just when you miss too many and over pay for new releases that it becomes crazy expensive.

He was moving and had just found my KZfaq channel so contacted me to see if I wanted to buy the collection.

I have thought about it but not sure I want to take the gamble.

I know right?

My shop is located in Brooklyn, NY its called PopFuzz.

Hes not into Frozen anymore. This week he earned the Deadpool with Panda Funko pop by doing his homework in a timely fashion.

I have a physical shop in Brooklyn, NY. At this time I am not doing mail order.

Not very well I did knock a stack or two over before. Now I have everything in pop protectrors and every 3rd or so is taped to the wall with painters tape to keep them stable.

Its been selling for closer to $350-$400 lately.

Pop Fun To Play On pop price guide 240 that's what it went for but they probably did not update it

Its currently sitting at $370 on PPG

Probably $5 under PPG if I sell him.

I think he is valued around $125. If you really want to do that you might want to try to sell your collection and track down a Fiend.

hehe

it is a pop that is worth a lot more than other pops and is in popular demand. usually retired or limited number pops

That is correct. To expand on it a little bit, I would say its a pop that someone has really wanted and have been hunting for but just could not find due to price or rarity.

Pop Fun To Play ok thanks
