    I agree with Sinnertwin. If they are becoming a hassle it is time to do something. Try starting with your least favourite line first and go from there.

    Take some photos of them in preparation then decide if you can part with them. You can always buy them back and if you do go with the house deposit you will have more space without worrying about a storage unit

    I have been toying around with this idea myself of selling my least favourite line/lines to make the TF's I like more displayable. Still haven't got there so all I can say is good luck with making a decision. You collect doubles don't you? I would look at thinning them down first and go from there if you still want to sell more item's.

    Sell off the doubles.
    Not in lots, unless the buyer is someone like HD who has a lot of disposable income, you wont get much buyers for lot items, plus you lose quite a bit on lot sale.
    As everyone has said, start with the least fave items, if not here have it on Ebay. Prioritize.
    Keep your goal in sight - which one is it? Student loan or House? decide then stick to it. Plan with foresight - coz with a house you have enough space but do you have the means to maintain a steady mortgage? If you go for the loan, being a student would you have enough cash/income to sustain this hobby and be sure that what your studying for will end you in a definite job in the end, not some idealistic course where you'd struggle come graduation to find a job that'll suit what you studied for? or will you end up still selling more of your stuff?

    Just some questions that you might have already asked yourself and hopefully have finally reached a decision with before you sell any more of your collection.

    Value your time. Sell off the items that will go for more money.

    Sell off your TF's?!?! No. No no no sir!

    Cash? You've got two kidney's don't you? Surely you can part with one? Or I hears that if you've got a skirt and a nice smile you can make good tax-free cash down the docks after dark, even when sporting a 5 o'clock shadow. And I also hears there is a place in Ballarat that will buy all the sperm you can produce!

    Space? Surely you don't need more than one shirt, one pair of jeans, one pair of socks etc? Free up those wardrobes man! And surely you don't need a washing machine to do them in when a sink and a scrubbing brush suffices. Buying fresh food daily gets rid of the need to have full cupboards or a fridge. A warm sleeping bag means you can get rid of that pesky bed and free up the linen cupboard.

    But if worst comes to worst I'm in the next two years building a Transformatorium shed on my farm (cause I need the space lol) so send'em this way and you can visit whenever you like

    I totally agree with liegeprime - offload your doubles first.

    IMO anything you haven't used (whether it's for viewing/display or playing... whatever) in the past year or two you ought to consider offloading. That seems more like hoarding than collecting to me (JMHO).

    Bahahaha +1

    I agree with what most others have said, the toylines you don't have much attachments to should be where you start selling from. I personally had to thin down my collection, and decided to knock off the movie toys.
