I worked on a project that had a few spots where we compare a saved timestamp to the current time. During testing, the client would randomly change their device time a few days forward or backward and complain that things weren't working as expected. I had to explain to them multiple times that they were basically time traveling, and the program was actually handling it fairly well all things considered.

I have some football cards at my parents house that are in the same boat. Maybe take a look through them to try to estimate prices and protect the expensive ones. IDK about Marvel cards, but I know there are apps for some other trading cards where you can just scan a picture of the card and get an estimated price based on recent sales.

That's cool. I wish I had kept some of my old Gameboy games, either to play or to sell. A lot of the games I had have jumped in price in recent years.

I've never heard of it, but it looks cool. I'll need to take a look into it.

That's a cool set! I am currently trying to sell a few retired sets (mostly Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Bionicle) and some surprise me in value. A few are about the price they originally cost, while others have tripled in value.

All cool collections! I have a few Funkos worth around $100 but probably wouldn't sell them unless I needed to. Besides the LEGO Bilbo I mentioned in the description, I bought the Rivendell set towards the end of last year. I would like some of the old LotR or Hobbit sets, but they get pretty pricey.

That's really cool. Such a non-descript item that still holds some value all these years later.

I've seen that before! I got a Halo 3 Master Chief Funko bobblehead from my local Blockbuster when they were closing. He is sitting on my desk next to my gaming PC right now with my Atlas and P-Body Funko Pops from Portal 2. My Master Chief has gone up in price, but not nearly as expensive as yours seems to be.

That's a nice looking pocket knife. I wouldn't have guessed $200, but it does look like a quality item.

I walked into a used game store a year or two ago and saw the price of older Pokemon games and cried a little on the inside. I had a lot of the older games when I was younger that I sold to buy new games. I had Red as the earliest and stopped playing Pokemon after Diamond, so quite a few of the games in that timeframe. I unfortunately sold them before those games had such high price tags, but I never would have anticipated that when I sold them.

I also have a decently sized book collection, but none that have gone up in value like that. Do you collect any specific types of books, or just whatever you think looks interesting?
