But what you want you don't need to collect every series but I wouldn't sell your figures unless you know you won't want them back

Dude, why the hell do you keep selling them?? Do you need the money?? If so dont do it, If not than get em from Ringside and avoid all the hassle. I would get them by the case!!!

Only buy the figs/guys you like. It will be less overwhelming, better on your wallet, and still enjoyable.

I haven't gotten to the point where I'm will to sell my entire figure collection. I am in the process of consolidating. I did, at one time want every elite style figure, but the more I looked at my collection the more it didn't look like a hobby . It was like a job. So now, I buy who I want and keep who I want. IE, I don't even remember any matches that most of the legends line wrestlers had, so I'm selling off most of my legends line.
Also, I have plenty of "one and done" figures.... IE, Santino, R-Truth, Miz (ish, I have 2), Austin, Bret Hart, etc... To each their own.
Next I stay away from anything that isn't an Elite. I rarely break for basics, unless I can get them in a lot.... And I completely hate rumblers, power slammers, etc.
Aside from that, I do get the build a sets, and diva figures.
Since I'm an Elite figure collector, I don't hunt often. Finding a relic for the past is pure luck and almost 100% a waste of time to hunt for them now. So, buy what you want from a set when the hit retail. The only time I buy from RSC is when they have exclusives and I want a complete series (usually a case, not just the set). With the right timing, use the promos and it's the same (or slightly better) as free shipping. Without the hassle of the hunt, it's very easy to maintain collecting as a hobby and not a way of life.
Biggest rule in my book.... Never sale an Elite ring!! I've notice a lot of people here taking down on them lately, but it is the trophy of all things Mattel. There is not 1 figure that equal its value. Many people do hate in the size, but no one complains on the structure or integrity of it.
On a side note. My opinion on selling is if you got the time, piece it out. eBay offers 50 "free" listings a month, do some research, and what doesn't sell group together.

I sold my collection last yr for various reasons but a few months later I started up again and my collection is bigger and badder than ever. Unless I needed the cash I can't see myself selling it again. I started the same way buying only guys I wanted but I eventually get sucked into buying others. But for the most part I buy figs of who I want and figs that look cool.

Heres my advice and how i go about collecting. Ive felt like selling off my collection for the last year for various reasons mostly because of cost and space but i dont need the money (so far) so ive held back and kept them and im glad i did.
1. Dont buy variations, keep to one character i.e dont buy two christians or who ever when youve already got one unless its a dramatic upgrade and you feel you really want it.
2. Collect loose. MOC always cost more and you can always pick up bargains on eBay when collecting loose.

never sell your collection cause of a GIRL!, if a girl doesnt like your hobby find a new girl...there not hard to find.
I only collect WORLD champions/mainevent guys who are major draws. IN my jakks collection I would buy the whole roster and I would have wanted guys like the usos santino, kofi, heath slater. BUT in looking at my jakks collection that was a major waste of time and money. those guys are not draws never got the big belt and you really cant even sell em cause no one will buy them. I have donated 100s of the c list guys to good will and etc.
buying guys like CM punk, cena hbk and undertaker will never be a waste there the top draws and will be remembered 10 years from now just like hogan sting macho and warrior.
ONLY BIG TIMERS~!
