One of the things I like about collectibles is that they usually retain or go up in value. I'm not planning on selling this statue anytime soon, but I like that piece of mind.
I feel like this just throws the value proposition out the window.
Do you guys have any tips or advice as a Canadian collector that is thinking of getting into statues?

Yeah, it used to be that you could consider a ?collectable? something that would increase in value, but the market?s pretty much dead these days. My 2 cents, buy what you like and don?t expect too much on the other end. As for shipping I use DHL Express if ordering direct from SS cuz I find it cheaper than FedEx, even with the brokerage fee.
There are a few guys in Canada who have online stores if you wanna go that route. They kinda post on FB. PM me if you want some names (not affiliated, just not sure if I can post that stuff here).
