So, several people at work suggested this and I have thought about it in the past.

Selling the collection I have in storage (that after the break in is now at risk from further damage or spending more on storing it safely) in order to gather a deposit in order to purchase the house that I should at this stage in my life have purchase by now - or at least be 50% towards owing.

In the last purge of the collection I cleaned out everything that could go, so I would be putting up for offer things that I have deemed as part of the collection and forever staying in the collection - AFA and Sealed G1, G2, Reissues/e-Hobby, BT/Kiss and Alternators, Classics/Universe and Henkei as well as Masterpiece

My thoughts (Random)
1) Good idea, you need a house and since I am having trouble finding that perfect partner of mine in order to save together, rasing a large amount of cash by myself seems to be the only way to get a deposit

2) Don't do it - you don't need to full into the modern age New Zealand 'dream' of having a property. The collection is awesome, you love it and thats it.

3) I need a house in order to store the collection, but I won't have a collection to store in the house. So do I need the house

4) Yes you need a house - you can't live with the parents for ever (or until they die and you hope that they haven't followed through with the threat of not leaving everything to there only son, but to the SPCA

5) Only the good parts of the collection will sell, leaving you with gaps that you need to fill. Filling those gaps will be near on impossible because the prices on the secondary market is insane. Also even if you have the deposit, you will need to pay of the rest of the house purchase price and that will take your entire income each week leaving nothing to spend on toys

6) The collection is not worth enough even if you sell it all to even get 1/2 of the deposit required. Only a sucker would pay what you have paid in the last 8 years for a bunch of toys
