What's collectors? As you know, action figures for collectors or collectors item? Much of it is guess work or instinct. Part of it is plausible. A large part is to know the market and the public. So ...
As a further help and guidance you can give? In this simple guide to help you short, the decision is based on my 15 years in business.The simplest, easiest and biggest piece of advice I can give is to remember:
"TodayToys are future collectibles "Let me clarify that a little more explanation. What are the children now and what drives their imagination and what games, cartoons, comics and want them and what toys, games, etc., are the number one on Christmas lists this year?
These are things that are necessary, the collection of the future, things that you sell, the money will be made good in another 10-20 years.
Why? Simply because the market is driven mainly by collectionnostalgia. Look at things more valuable to collectors today. They are generally what they were popular, as we children (or at least was when I was a kid!).
Good examples are very large market for the Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Chucky, and collectibles. These are all great cult films of the 80s.
Then there's Star Wars toy and collectible Pokemon. GI Joe, Action Man, He-Man Masters of the Universe and Thunderbirds.
ThisMemories of these games and programs, making them now for collectors, as well as the desire to have children I do not know what we like.
So, what I think tomorrow will be hot collectibles?
Looking at today's markets, I thought the anime / manga Naruto and Bleach and collectors will become more popular in coming years, as well as other popular anime series like "Ghost in the Shell.
Even popular games like Gears of War, Warcraft,Halo and Guitar Hero has a considerable number of products available, many collectors are high and will probably continue for many years even more popular.
Oh ... And I almost forgot Ben 10 Ben 10 is another TV series, animation seems to become popular and have only recently captured the imagination for children '.
And do not forget the normal, everyday objects. Many of them are likely to find strong and collectors.
A prime example of this phenomenonRobinson is an old jam jar labels. This presented a jar golliwog and returned to each product in the '70s. Thousands and thousands are produced each year.
Now they sell for about $ 500 just because I have been banned. Who are collected and stored? Virtually no one, because so often, were an everyday item. Again, it is the nostalgia and memories associated with these units, "the market and demand.
Remember the toys you had? Do not have anthem? Where are they now? By our nature as children, we play with our toys, we do not care that they are safe and not damaged, or even to collect.
They were there to be played with. They were hit and hit over, around, and largely destroyed, broken and thrown out thereafter discarded. It 's only now that I look back at them with the tenderness of memories and nostalgia for a lost childhood.
So once again it is often that these things areCollectors and valuable. OK, so what is a limited edition, or chasing small quantities and variant figures, postcards, stamps, toys or whatever, to be produced today?
These are usually intended to collectors now often based on past or vintage themes like Star Wars, Thunderbirds, Elvis Presley, "Battlestar Galactica", etc.
Some are aimed at new games, gaming, current trends and popular items such as Gears of War, Halo, or evenMovies like Hellboy.
These points are often far from the first collection is due to their popularity and high demand, but in general you will see a dip in value, after several years of new trends and take their place, but ...
If you become part of our popular culture and experiences in childhood or she gains in value in the new rule in the long term.
A good example of this is the Pokemon cards. In the mid-'90s, they were big, so big, in fact, I would say that everyChild in the world has ever known or heard of them. Even children in the poorest areas of Brazil were the figurines.
But in the end was still something else. The children have grown and its popularity waned.
But now, after ten years is again regularly in the top 30 searches per month. Ticket prices are sold at a lively pace on auction sites and demand for the old stuff is growing. So if you have hidden an old Pokemon collection, maybe its time to dust itDown!
This is because children are collected and then bought it now "grown up" and look back to the days of fun to collect them and maybe get some of them back.
I know I sure do. At the time I was on BIG Pokemon. I had them all! I also had an illustrator Pikachu Mewto a secret, two of the rarest cards.
But alas, as a dealer, I sold them all, but now ...
I wish I had a couple of times I saved.
Another tip is to find niche markets.A niche is a specialized market. If you find a little 'niche' that a loyal following and are probably collector's item very easy now is because although it is much less demand for the supply or quantity of goods available is very scarce and therefore become more likely to be collectible or valuable.
In the long term if you invest in things right, the return can be huge in 10-20 years. Certainly better than the average return on bankSavings.
Then, decide what it should contain the value or value to be taken into consideration:
What is popular today.
Check the top comics, cartoons, TV shows, movies etc. and search for common themes.
What are the popular family?
What games or toys to make your children, friends and want to move to the trash?
What are the most popular niche markets?
What has become a part of our daily life, a part of our culture, our language (a good example here would be Google, the term"Google" has become quite common)?
Consider the answers to these questions, these are the things that can keep their prices and increase in value over the years.
