SOLD! Most Valuable Piece Of My Gaming Collection | Shantae COMPLETE
78I shared in the past how I lost my job in February 2024 and how it really shook me to my core. Thankfully, I have just recently started a new job in a different industry, but I still have to fill gaps in what I was and am now bringing home. When I lost my job, I put all of my 3D Printed items on sale and this community has supported me and purchased thousands of dollars worth of products. For that, thank you. There were a few vocal people who took issue with my video where I discussed loosing my job and asked this community if they could step up and help by becoming a channel member or Patreon Supporter. A common attack was "You have all this gaming stuff, why don't you sell that". Well, I have been, and it has filled gaps in income, but my collection isn't as vast as some might think. One piece that I've had listed for sale, and just sold, was also the piece worth the most in my collection. That piece which was the most valuable of my gaming collection which has now sold is my SEALED Shantae Collection for the Nintendo Switch.
I will admit I never played a single Shantae game until I got my Nintendo Switch. I always thought the appeal for the series was similar to Sailor Moon, it seemed a bit creepy and pervy to me, but to each their own. I bought the first Shantae game for my collection back at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo in 2018, the first year I got to attend. I had heard great things and so I thought I'd take a chance.
I listed this set for sale on eBay, and while there was some interest there was nothing too serious. That is until I got the notification I had both been looking forward to and dreading: the set had sold for my asking price. I was a bit floored at how much eBay took for their fees and such, and I'm still a bit nervous that the buyer will screw me and claim a fraudulent charge due to the amount. This is why I am shipping through the USPS, if they try to do anything not on the up and up. it can be classed as mail fraud which is a federal offence.
I hope this is all going to go smoothly because I don't want to deal with the headache. Have you ever had to sell an expensive piece in your collection? Share your thoughts in the comments.
