I definitely use my hobby to fund my hobby. If there is a collectible or pair of shoes that I stopped loving, I use the money to replace them with something I like now.
I let go a lot of my Kpop photocards to fund my anime hobby. I’m probably going to sell more when I go back home when my semester ends. Sometimes interests change and instead of buying more things you can kinda replace them. There is always going to be someone interested in your collection.
There's, mm, some collector in my life that I've been preaching this to for years. 🙃But there are definitely things I hoard, like I'm one to talk... like I am really proud of my CD collection (various anime import stuff before streaming, some DDR), but I never got a cool shelf to display them on. They're just sitting in a waterproof box, like "in case of complete digital data loss, open this." 😆 I'm working on trading things out to appreciate the new stuff, though...! I'm happy you figured it out and are content with your collection! It always looks nice and organized.
Super good questions! I will admit that sometimes I enjoy the thrill of hunting and finding out of print manga more than the actual story itself of the manga once I started reading the series.
At first, I had a large collection of videogames and then sold of a ton of them off. I then collected and then sold shoes. After, I collected and then sold manga and comics. Later, I collected and then sold American action figures. I now collect anime figures and Nendoroids. I wonder how long it'll take for me to move onto a new hobby lol. Now, my room and office are filled with a random assortment of stuff I like. This was just 3 years after graduating college and getting a real job.
Then why are u buying so much. I would recommend keeping your self to a monthly manga volume limit so u don't buy more so when u buy some manga u end up buying the only ones u really want and will read right away and don't be shy not to buy manga from vol.1 if u have already watched the anime till a certain point. Hope this helps. Happy collecting. ;)
Great video, I totally agree with this and started doing it myself I sold all my CSM because I read it and I realised I wasn't bothered about it I finished reading it to see if I'd change my mind but I didn't. I sold them to someone who would appreciate them more I did that with rent a girlfriend and I'm thinking of doing it with spy family as I'm not overly enjoying it it's good in some areas and I love some of characters but others I'm not too fussed about
i have a small collection, but I’ve been debating selling a death note vol I got 3 years ago for a while now.. it’s been well read over the years, but I’m just not interested in death note anymore
When I first started I’d just buy manga to buy it even if I only vaguely liked it lol lots of volume 1s or 1-5s and half series from eBay etc I’m glad I ended up selling most of them I kinda wished I bought more rare series as it seems like so many series go for crazy prices now (could’ve bought all of red river for a couple dollars a piece but that type of manga wasn’t up my alley) now it goes for like 1k or more smh lol
Ever since i transitioned from pops to manga i got rid of so many pops to get more manga. Now i have some pops that sit in the closet that i actually love, however been thinking of just keeping like 5 or 10 and sellin the rest, manga i have been collecting very very slowly so as to have series i know ill read again series i could pass on or just to have a peak lookin library. And im so glad i took it easy because i got back into gaming and am now building my gaming collection back up after selling some stuff years ago so i just decided to collect slow and try and keep to things i absolutely love instead of just like. It can be tough, somethings i fall out of love with from time to time.
I ws a big anime watcher. I only collect berserk deluxe edition, death note. And i want all naruto box sets and bleach. Those are my favs im not interested in collecting stuff i only like for 50 percent also it takes up to much space. But naruto death note and berserk i want to save to give to my child when he turns 16 18 etc
I can’t sell manga in my country because I live in a really small island in the Caribbean called Curaçao 🇨🇼. The manga community is non existent here. I’ve never seen a store selling manga in my country, so it’s really hard to sell manga. I end up just donating the books instead. Facebook marketplace is also not available in my country so there’s no accessible platform to put things up for sale.
One thing I have to let go was the first 3 volumes of Gin Tama I had and how I wanted to collect the series BUT seeing that it stop after volume 23 and how expensive they are getting...
Nope, nothing for me. So far when it comes to Manga I am VERY picky and particular on what I pick-up and get into. Currently only have like 15 series that I have collected/collecting. With only about 3-4 that I'm curious to check out. I just don't spring for anything, even if it's something that everyone says is the new hotness. I'm just not one to dive into everything or seek out everything. At best I'll finish what I'm collecting now and then just catch stuff online and only if something REALLY grabs me, will I go to collect it. Because honestly, there's just WAY too much Manga out there and I think, pertaining to space, money and addiction/obsession....there's def a stopping point for everyone...though that's gonna be a different threshold for each individual. As far as non-manga stuff, the only thing I could see myself selling and getting rid of would be maybe some of the Amiibos I have, so far that isn't happening, but all my books, Manga, movies, statues and videogames that I've collected over the years, I love too much and not gonna get rid of.
I don’t even touch my manga honestly😂 I got half of one piece just bc I want to display the full manga series one day but my money goes into figures and statues now, my other series I haven’t read yet since I’m waiting until I have no anime to watch but haven’t had that issue yet😂 my room is so crowded
fr you spitin fax, tryna sell sell rent a mi- girlfriend rn although i don't think anyone gonna enjoy that tbh Edit: i been tryna sell that shit since July and its December rn🙃🙃
It's his life, he can do whatever he wants and he is putting his time and effort into making videos for his fanbase. That's already a bonus for us, so give him a break.

I simply couldn't agree more 👏
We know you like to get rid of things 😒😒😒
That title was so sad when I saw it, I literally just started collecting manga 😭
Relatable ;(
I definitely use my hobby to fund my hobby. If there is a collectible or pair of shoes that I stopped loving, I use the money to replace them with something I like now.
That is the smartest thing you can do as a collector!

That’s a great investment. It’s always good to sell or get rid of stuff you no longer want that way you can make room for new stuff you actually enjoy
It's hard to let go but feels so freeing once you commit.
Great video
I just recently started selling some of my statues and ngl it’s addicting once you start selling 😂.
I used to be ADDICTED to selling my Pops, man! That money coming in feels so good!

I'm happy you figured it out and are content with your collection! It always looks nice and organized.
I completely understand keeping some stuff in a storage container because you can’t display it! Glad to see you trading out the old for something new!
I can chill with a new Dark Sage video.
Oh yessir! 🤝
Why am I not getting notifications when dark sage uploads I need to support my fav youtuber!!
The GOAT! 🐐
I’ve been tryna find some cute things to collect without it overtaking my whole place. 😂
My room has been successfully overtaken by over 100 figures and some statues, swords, manga, I have no self control
Oh that’s tough. Once you start collecting it just takes OVER!
@@taliban223ms3 Man u need your debit card taken away
@@tetrasloth5766 nah I need real mental help
Well said. If you don't care about some things in the collection it's justified hoarding lol. I'm guilty it w comics and manga
Super good questions! I will admit that sometimes I enjoy the thrill of hunting and finding out of print manga more than the actual story itself of the manga once I started reading the series.
Sage Wisdom indeed.
Subbed to you back in the days when this channel was only funkos.

Yap I know what you mean, I'm running out of room in my Man Cave too😱😱 great video 👍 😎 #brokeboigang
How do I get motivated to read manga I enjoy reading it when I finally do but it takes a few weeks or months to just get motivated to read 1 volume
only buy manga that you really like and know you’ll reread
Then why are u buying so much. I would recommend keeping your self to a monthly manga volume limit so u don't buy more so when u buy some manga u end up buying the only ones u really want and will read right away and don't be shy not to buy manga from vol.1 if u have already watched the anime till a certain point.

I'd say take a bit of a break, watch some review videos and see what sticks out to you!
Agreed I share the same mindset with you
I ain’t selling sh*t
Great video, I totally agree with this and started doing it myself I sold all my CSM because I read it and I realised I wasn't bothered about it I finished reading it to see if I'd change my mind but I didn't. I sold them to someone who would appreciate them more I did that with rent a girlfriend and I'm thinking of doing it with spy family as I'm not overly enjoying it it's good in some areas and I love some of characters but others I'm not too fussed about

i feel you dude there’s a couple series i wish i bought before they became hard to get
Nah that vegeta pop is now worth 8k 💀
No hoarding allowed in this community 😤
Lol I’m trying my best not to!
Ever since i transitioned from pops to manga i got rid of so many pops to get more manga. Now i have some pops that sit in the closet that i actually love, however been thinking of just keeping like 5 or 10 and sellin the rest, manga i have been collecting very very slowly so as to have series i know ill read again series i could pass on or just to have a peak lookin library.

I never got in too funko pops
Be glad! 😅
I remember the funko pop days
I ws a big anime watcher. I only collect berserk deluxe edition, death note. And i want all naruto box sets and bleach. Those are my favs im not interested in collecting stuff i only like for 50 percent also it takes up to much space. But naruto death note and berserk i want to save to give to my child when he turns 16 18 etc
I feel that. It can grow and take up ALOT of space very quick! Also, passing down the PEAK to your children? Respect 😎

I do plan on getting rid of some of the trash manga in my collection like platinum end and so on

I can't let go of mine they have sentimental value. You understand right?

me watching this video knowing my whole collection has re read value therefore also knowing I'm never selling my manga 😂😂
Izzi, just sell it all and start over
Idk why people think funko pops are ugly, I think they look pretty cool they are super styalized tho
100
where’s a good place to sell manga?
fr you spitin fax, tryna sell sell rent a mi- girlfriend rn although i don't think anyone gonna enjoy that tbh
Edit: i been tryna sell that shit since July and its December rn🙃🙃
Why was that pop worth that much ?
It wasn’t many of them made
Nah, I only buy the series I really liked, so no need to sell them.
That’s understandable. Not everyone does that.
pov: u only have 4 volumes of manga
Time to grab some more!
Where do you sell your manga at?
Usually Instagram, so there’s no middle man
damn, imagine scalping that vegeta pop like that and not just giving it to someone who deserved it... unsubbed
Oh my bad. I should’ve gave it to a BIG FAN for what it costed at retail
