Tomorrow's Treasures

Ever wondered why some things are more valuable than others? Well read on and I shall explain.... Be it sneakers , vinyl figures , plush toys or even spray cans , here at Fat Buddha we have loads of opportunities to get your hands on a little bit of treasure for the future. With a little bit of knowledge, some care of your goods and throw in some luck and you could be sitting on a nice nest egg. Something is only worth what somebody will pay for it, and if you are the only one with that thing, then it can suddenly become very valuable.  Limited edition goods are always a safe place to start (the clue is in the 'limited'), this means that only a certain number are made, be it 50, 100, or even 1000, there are only a limited number of them about. Over the years, many of these will be lost, damaged, broken or discarded, making something that was once only limited, now being extremely rare! This is where the smart collectors come in. A well looked after collectable, meaning cle...
