Agree ako dito...grayfox17 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2017 6:16 pm Tipid-tipid din pag may time lalo na sa mga hindi importanteng bagay, pag may murang version ng isang gamit bakit ka pa bibili ng mahal? Justifiable din naman yung "wants <-> needs" dilemma if the item is within your immediate need pero kung sa tingin mo hindi mo pa kakailanganin then look the other way muna. There will always be a next time pa naman to buy it.
Ako ha, a toy collector...Eto lang siste ko when buying a new toy...
1. I always check reviews of the toy sa Youtube....Gusto ko malaman paano ba quality ng toy, kung madali pa ipose or itransform, etc etc etc...
2. I do extra research from fellow toy collectors & always find a seller who's selling the item at a much cheaper price without any catches.
3. I always ask "meron bang KO (knock off) neto"?....I thank God for companies like Wei Jiang, Kubianbao, and those KO companies Takasa Tomy, Tanaka Tosy, etc etc...Why? Because minsan mas ok pa quality ng KO toys compared sa original...
4. I weigh my options kung bibilhin ko na ba ito or hindi pa...Kasi baka mas bumaba pa price after a few months eh...Saka syempre meron din ako mga bagay na kailangan iprioritize muna aside from toys...
In a nutshell, i work hard, i collect responsibly, i don't deprive myself of my fave vice (toys and books) pero i see to it meron ako naitatabi for myself each month, as well as for my boys & i am able to pay my bills on time...
And puro knock off toys na lang nowadays ang pinupuntirya ko...Thank God for China & their copy is right people!
