Action Man & eBay: Damn it!

Many, many years ago I started collecting Action Man® action figures.

I have to confess that at some point, already when my age reached 2 digits, I stopped doing it because I didn't want to look like a permanent resident of Neverland Ranch.

Now, when I see in eBay how much they cost, I feel like banging my head against the wall.

Now I ponder: what could I collect right now that in 20, 30 or 40 years I can sell on eBay for a big margin?

Ideas welcome.

good answer

i know how seitse feels though - i once looked up some of the starwars figures i had and adored as a child ๐Ÿ˜ž

ONE figure I had was worth £280 OUT of the box and used ๐Ÿ˜ž :'(

i had left them all to by little brother when i moved on and he lost/trashed everything. I phoned him straight after and told him he owed me well in excess of £280 lol

I keep vinyls of Billy Idol and Judas Priest.

Can I sell 'em to you for 1,000 each?
