What would you do if your wife threw out your CS?

tag her and bag her lol.

As pointed out several times -

It's not about "wrestling figures" per se. It's about her blatant disregard for his property. No one should do this. I wouldn't stand for it. I also think he meant to imply that he was thankful the seller didn't settle for his first offer, because then the seller wouldn't still have the figures and he wouldn't be able to explain that his wife threw them away and appeal to the seller's conscience. He lost a hell of a lot more money than the seller did. Hell, the seller MADE money, since he basically got these figures which weren't his to begin with and then sold them.

And the fact that you say that you wouldn't collect if you had a wife makes me wonder. You're saying you can't have a hobby you like if you have a wife? This statement makes me think you've got a lot of the basic concepts of relationships skewed. They're about understanding and respecting the other person, and accepting what they do.

I have a girlfriend who knows I collect figures, animate, and have interest in the hobby. Needless to say, if she couldn't accept these things about me, she wouldn't be my girlfriend.[/quote]

How exactly did the seller get this figures, did he get it from the dumpster? Wouldn't he have bought it first from the wife?

Playing with action figures is not my hobby, it something I do when I am bore. I have a gf and she away all summer so I play with these action figures until she is back.

HOnestly, it shows she has absolutely no respect for you or your possessions, I would tell her to leave.

The hobby's not so much about playing with them, it's more about collecting. I'm guessing this guy was a collector since he lost MANY CS figs that he said were for resale.

I'm intrigued, though. Your girlfriend is away all summer, so you play with your figures until she's back. So...does she know you play with them at all? If so, are you NOT allowed to when she's around?

Having a hobby means the people around you should get over it. It's YOUR hobby, not theirs. I think other people's hobbies are stupid sometimes, but I don't expect them to change them on my account.

DIVORCE IMMEDIATELY

Why would anyone need 12 Steamboat and Rock figures?
No wonder its so difficult to find some of these figures for a decent price when there is some of you buying so many of them to sell them at ridiculously high prices on ebay, I have nothing against people making money but I imagine collecting figures would be a lot more fun if there was less of you guys around,

As one of the seemingly few chicks on this forum I highly suggest that if your lady friend throws out your items that you should NOT retaliate by throwing out, breaking or damaging anything of hers. In her mind she feels justified. If you destroy something of hers she will only find something more devious to do to you. This is unfortunatly how most women operate.

She has clearly demonstrated a lack of respect for your property, and by relation, you. There is clearly something else going on in the relationship that needs addressing. You can not change a person so deal with what you can change and that is yourself and how you react to her. Personally if any man tried to pack up my collections of stuff I would happily pack his things up along with himself and show him out the door.

Unless you are a compulsive hoarder or have some sort of skewed relationship with your figures then she had no right to remove them from the house let alone throw them out. If she did this behind your back then she knows how you were going to react. Since she knows that what she did was either wrong but justified or just plain wrong you need to find out which. Either be blunt and talk to her about it or attempt to guilt her in some fashion.
