Why become a TAG Collector?
As seasoned collectors ourselves, we know that burning feeling all too well.
- That feeling of growing a collection you’re proud to call your own.
- The sensation of reliving old memories of a time come-and-gone.
- That inkling to preserve a piece of history – whether it’s an action figure set from the 1940s or a card collection from the 1990s.
- That intellectual satisfaction of possessing something that’s truly unique.
And the thrill of the chase – finding something you’re just burning to add to your collection and negotiating to get the best price you can possibly get for it. We get you. And we love it. But Nobody Should Walk Into The Collector Market Solo.Why?
Because it’s so easy to get carried away and make major mistakes when building an arsenal of collectibles. Some of the classic mistakes we’ve made and seen are:
Buying items that have been over-valued
Getting your collection refused by pawn shops that haven’t got a clue about the collectibles market
Negotiating with buyers or sellers (on places like eBay and Amazon) – and getting ripped off in a bad deal
Selling your items at a price that’s way too cheap (sometimes without even realising it)
Selling valuable items to pay off a bill or a debt (something to be avoided at all costs)
And ultimately, ending up with a collection that’s worth far less than what you paid for.
Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or an aspiring collector, it’s so easy to fall into the traps of:
Not knowing enough about a particular collectible stream (whether it be rare Pokémon cards, PlayStation games or limited edition funko pops).
Thinking you’re getting a good deal today,only to realise that you’ve paid way too much money for an item later down the track.
Ending up miles apart in negotiations when buying and selling – only to have deals fall apart and missing out on that lucrative collectible.
Searching endlessly for hard-to-find collectibles that could potentially skyrocket your collection value, only to ultimately give up on the search
Getting messed around by low-ballers, ‘ghosters’ and time-wasters when you’re selling. and, finally:
Failing to have a long-term and well-executable collectible investment strategy that works towards your long-term goals.
Become a TAG Collector. And learn the right way to approach the market.
