      5165bb3d       From: dahoov2@cox.net              More will respond by going to our group ... if you'd like email me and       I'll send you the link.              I've answered this question before but here goes:       Swarovski small animals (only some not too many); only collect if I       can find ones cheap enough! They're too expensive!              Trinket Boxes with "George and Martha" or "Courting" scenes (Limoges       etc); also china with that on it too; stopped collecting. Would like       to get rid of at least half.              Hot Wheels promos items and cereal toys stopped collecting would like       to get rid of              Posters Only collect if FREE or signed              Trading card promos only collect if FREE but would like to get rid of              Star Wars Ornaments Stopped collecting would like to get rid of              Star Wars Bookmarks Stopped collecting would like to get rid of              Signed books No more room so selective now              autographs of course; in person when opportunity presents but majority       by mail and some purchases              Art recently...though I've no more room to it's done..              Nature collection of various things like a couple fossils, arrowheads,       crystals, stones, shells and a dinosaur egg (odd things like that)              DVD's... have just a handful to get rid of only collect my all time       favorite films.              I realize tastes change and if I could find a better place than Ebay       (everything there sells either too cheap); I'd love to get rid of       stuff. Garage sale to cheap too. I'd love to find a consignment       shop; maybe i'll set up a booth at a swap meet or something!.              On Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:58:56 -0700 (PDT), john.kent33@yahoo.com wrote:              >What is the areas that you collect?
