Forum Request: Collectables/Antiques/Toys.

Roller Toaster

Of late I've been collecting some Todd McFarlane figures and began organising and sorting through some of the antiques in my house. Basically the point of the forum is for people to post up their collections of anything from records to games, discuss new collectables including stuff like antiques, models etc and general collectables. I know it's not exactly up there in the excitement department with the games forum and the like but I think it could serve it's own niche within the community. I'm not sure where it should be placed but I'm thinking under After Hours.

Board Name: Collectables/Antiques/Toys
Description: Discuss your toys, collections and antiques in here.
Private Y/N: N

What do you think?

I think this could fall under All Things Retro/Games ***
We don't need yet _another_ board

Gomi - Japan word for collecting junk I think.

Might not be a bad idea but is there an interest from other boardsters for it ?

Roller Toaster,

Darn good idea. Surprised its not here already!. Could we accept offers for our collectables. My place is full of junk, er, I mean, collectables, Cameras, etc.

Even a "framed limited edition", of the late Great - John Lennons, commemorative [500 only] Gold Disc "Imagine" special editions, and mine is [Number 1] Imagine that!.

I endorse this suggestion, Yep.

P.;)

Hmmmm. Thats going to be tough to Mod if its both a Collectables and then also a forum where people can offer money for the items.

Would it fall under classifieds or arts then ?

Roller Toaster

Well I wasn't thinking of letting people sell stuff on the board, thats what the For Sale forum is for. It's merely for discussion, if people want to get pricechecks though thats fine by me. sinclar, I don't think that models really fall under games and I've always felt that retro was more things from the last 3 or 4 decades rather than actual antiques.

Still, would get my support. Even without being able to sell on it!.
I have always been a bit of a hoarder, gadget freak and Camera buff.

Others peoples old items. Even what some might consider junk holds a strange appeal to me. When I was in London I picked up a lot of valuable items from - so called - Junk Emporiums!.

Good luck with the idea.

Agreed, a lot of old useless items that other people would classify as junk hold a strange appeal for me mainly I think due to sentimental reasons. I wouldn't call myself a hoarder really but I do have quite a few interesting items to share if the forum goes ahead.

I suppose I could show off my nearlytouchingtheroof collection of pc gamer magazines or my awsome collection of books but then that would require me to go searching in boxes in the attic.
