   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!.
