I wish my feet were smaller. I would buy both pairs of shoes if so. Unfortunately, I'm size 8.

My size varies a bit- if I wear different socks. Doc run big in some styles. I can wear UK 5 or UK 6 just fine.

I might have some larger sizes that I don't need (very little wear). I'll check for ya (I've got a ton, so it may take some time.)

I used to collect BREYER horses all the time!

I've got a HUGE collection- 1800 something. Some of mine were in Felicia Browell's guide books. I really don't have the room to keep them all anymore. Nor the time, thanks to having a kid :)

almost a grand for one toy horse... what!

You were serious about having enough for a house ha. That is just so crazy. Are you parents rich? Mine couldn't even afford to buy me a car for a grand let alone a toy horse!

They aren't toys- they are realistic (or fantasy type) collectibles. Breyer does have a toy line though (with combable hair and a more stylized pose).

My parents were not rich, nor did they buy all of these. By the time I hit college I'd managed to get 400 or so- through trades and my first real job. Through college I used my paychecks to buy models cheap, and fix them up. Most people save up and buy perfect condition models. But I saved a lot by getting ones with damage and repairing them. Because I got a lot of practice, my work is live show proven (yes, we have shows, think of swap meets or model train exhibits) and I have made money fixing horses for other people.

Although my collection is worth well over 100K, I probably didn't pay even 20K in the 20 yrs I've collected.

that is truly awesome. I collect muchsroom stuff I am sure it will be expensive when it sells someday when I have been long dead(I am a cancer i don't let go of possesions) You are awesome to have such a nest egg at your young age!

I used to be a real packrat, well I still am, but not as bad... needing to buy meds and pay other bills, and not having room to enjoy them anymore motivated me enough though. It is going to take a while. Ebay's going to love me. (or they SHOULD).
