I'm the type that destroys the box figures came in, and display the figure in cabinets and cases.
With no intention at all of keeping it "mint condition in original box".
I don't collect for the sake of collecting, I collect only things I like, for my own value, and not value of a market. Which makes it a lot harder to get rid of.
Same with books, my collection of manga and books will only grow larger with time, never smaller.
When I first moved to US as a teen, I had to leave behind ALL my manga collection to my cousin.
But now that I'm grown adult, I will NEVER depart them ever. It's finally grown to similar size collection of what I had when I was in Japan, in a few years when I move into a larger house, I'll probably focus on growing the library. My goal? 2,000 manga volume library room in the next 3-5 years.
