BetterMost People / Re: Collections - What do you collect?

I wonder if anybody collects Hummel figurines anymore. They used to be big.

The answer is a big "NO!"  You can't even give them away.  My mother had a modest collection, and they just sat there during the estate sale.  I literally gave them away to friends' children.  I kept one for sentiment's sake.

Most sell for under $10.  The exception is the nativity set, which can go for $500.

Thank you, friend!  And happy recovery!

My friend M. was quite a collector. I now have about 150 Toby character jugs by Royal Doulton that I should sell. What's the best way to handle this? I should probably do an online thing.

Am I ever glad I used an estate liquidator. Their website lists more than 350 lots of stuff from my friend M's estate...that's 350 LOTS, some containing dozens of items. The Toby jugs were grouped into lots of 3 or 4 up to a dozen, and they are fetching a lot of bids!!
