Home › Articles › Article #59235 › Comments

It would be interesting to see how much did you spend and how much is the actual value at this moment.

That's the fun part, I don't! I'm too lazy to do so and also I only get stuff for myself (and also for gifts for family occasionally...) and don't care about the resale value

I don't really care much about the worth of my collection. Its for me and me alone so yeah. I feel like most people nowadays are to obsessed with the worth of their collection. Just enjoy what you have and appreciate it more ^-^

I always undercut values when trying to work out the cost of my figure collection. Some figures when selling go in a month others, I've had listed on eBay for nearly 6 months no interest.

But if I took Solaris Japan prices or what I paid into account it's not really the correct value of what the figure is worth.

I have tried to sell figures with after market prices of 40,000 Yen+ but had no interest at prices of £200 and even lowered to £150.00 etc.

Goes down to something is only worth what someone is willing to pay.

No joke, I sat down yesterday and calculated the "value" of my collection out of curiosity.

Turns out it's quite a bit more than I spent on it because a few figures have sky rocketed the past year or two... I blame social.

Your template looks really nice! I haven't watched the Youtube video yet though.
I actually use notion for tracking my figures as well, it's a really useful tool imo so I'm glad to see people talking about it here. I made my own template but kind of went overboard with the details, so it's a bit of an eyesore.
Examples of my NotionExamples of my Notionmight have to open in a separate tab to see

I have a tallied total at the bottom but I'm not sharing that lol.

Since I often buy second-hand and love comparing how good a deal or not I got for a figure, I have the Release Date, Release Price in JPY & the Release Price in GBP (Using the conversion at time of Release). This is slightly limited though as I only put the first release of a figure.

I really love how easy it is to sort and group the entries. I can see how much I've spent monthly, or on a specific series, or on different figure types.

I also use notion as a database for things I own that aren't on MFC (link) since making templates is pretty easy.

Edit: The last Column with a Date is 'Date Owned' rather than 'Date Ordered'. I just realised it wasn't clear since it was cut off

Edit 2: I like being very specific, so for the 'Price Paid' column it's the absolute total of everything including shipping & tax, I have a sub-page for each entry where I split up the price into different parts, here's an example:
