Thinning things out

There was a time when i bulked up on anything and every transformer i could find but over the last or two I've been thinning focusing on only a few lines.

So true. There are a variety of factors at work, but i think that one of the biggest ones is that the majority of our members already have most of the mainstream toys, which makes it increasingly difficult to sell. it's not like the prices are astronomical either, on the contrary, some are way below what you'd find elsewhere :)

A very positive move for the new year. I'd really like to do some blood letting as well.

2009 or 2010 for me. My saddest acquisition was THS-02 Hybrid Convoy from eBay. I didn't open it until a year or two later only to find one of the hinges under his grill was slightly warped - just enough for it to keep falling off. Pretty sure the seller didn't mention it. My 2nd negative experience out of 300+ good purchases from eBay. Most likely pay this forward when I get around to digging it out again.
