As some of you know my brother is fighting stage four Cancer and it is spreading. We are looking into moving out of state temporarily to be closer to him. I originally thought about storing things in a climate controlled storage, but honestly then I would be worried about them getting damaged and I need my head else where.

I was lying in bed having a hard time sleeping thinking about all of this stuff and the only thing that gave me peace is re-homing my collections to people who love toys as much as I do. I will have to take the time to write out price lists, but if you visit my collection page on my site you can see what is up for grabs (and a few things that are not even pictured).

I have most of the MOTUC POP line including Swift Wind (which I paid Ebay prices for). I have a lot of vintage POP that was all MOC (except two figures) that I deboxed. I kept the back cards if they were not too damaged. I have Jem and the Holograms which were all MIB except Kimber (I kept the boxes if they were not too funky). Rainbow Brite both vintage and modern. Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony and the list goes on.

Check out my collection pictures here and I will add lists and prices when it is not 5 am - LOL! I may just list everything I can on my Etsy shop (vintage), but the more I can sell off Etsy or Ebay the better. Thanks for looking! Smoke free, pristine home. https://iceempress.wordpress.com/my-collections/

Thank you. Right now I am just thinking about it, but honestly it is easier to be flexible and move around when I do not have so much stuff. I would rather the kids have their stuff than me (if that makes sense). Plus it is kind of freeing not to be worried about stuff. I just donated 90% of my craft supplies today. At first I wanted to cry, but when it was gone it felt good. Like a weight off of my shoulders.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about your brother's illness. That must be so gutting for you. My best to you both.

I'm sadly not in the market for toys because some upcoming surgical costs, but I'd be glad to share you sales links with some toy groups I'm in.
 
I'm so sorry to hear that! you have a really nice collection and I'm sure they will sell well.

Thanks everyone! I had a friend very graciously offer to store them in her spare bedroom for me, so I am going to take them off the table at this time. Thank you so much!

That’s so wonderful! I’m happy to hear you don’t have to give up your lovely collection. :)
 
Yeah that is a real relief. I bought most of the vintage stuff MOC or MIB (bad boxes) and deboxed them all, so they would be REALLY hard to replace. Super sad too! I did sell off my display shelves to a local gal, but my hubby said we can always get them again from Ikea and now they started making some really neat curios too.

I'm so happy to hear this! Usually people really regret selling and I always feel bad for them. What an awesome friend. YAYS!
