I've bailed on the SW business and have been out for years now. However, I am collecting select 80s GI Joes. I have a salary and am continuing to work, so aside from not driving right now, my financial situation is the same. So with a number of people putting collections up for sale, I've been able to get some good deals on some normally expensive figures.
However, as I mentioned elsewhere, I'm more focused (hobby wise) on building a number of model projects for clients. So unless I see something I'm dying to get, my energy and finances go towards the clients work.
