Today, my mother sold my extensive Star Wars collection, and I cried when I found out. I'm 46. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste

Today, I came home to find my entire action figure collection was gone. My parents told me I am too old for toys, so they opened all of the packages and donated them to Goodwill. I had an original Boba Fett, and my entire collection was worth more than twenty thousand dollars. FML

Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy a new lego set, only to find there weren't any left in stock. I started crying before I could make it out of the store. Oh, and I'm eighteen. FML

My boy
Today, I decided at age 18 that it's time to put into storage the picture books that have been collecting dust in my room for nearly a decade. My mother took this as a sign that I'm planning to move out and abandon her forever, and has been crying for the last four hours. FML

Vinted-ed
Today, my mom sold my watch collection on Vinted. I've spent over 15 years on the collection and I don't even live with my mom. I'm still wondering how she got in. FML

Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML

He knows the price of everything and the value of nothing
Today, my dad said I need to stop playing with toys and threw my lightsaber out of the window. It was a replica of the Lightsaber used by Mark Hamill, made from the same type handle from a 1970s camera, just like the film prop. It was over 40 years-old and worth thousands. Not anymore, as it's now scratched and in two pieces. FML

Today, I was at work when my mother called. She gave me great news that she had finally cleaned out my room and all those "old and useless" books that I had in there. Those "useless" books that she had just trashed were all antiques and worth about $500 each. There were 27 books in there. FML

Value
Today, I got home from work to find my wife asleep in her easy chair with my two year old son asleep in a pile of torn-up paper. I soon found out it was my 1960s collection of a Superman comic book series that I inherited from my dad. It was worth well over $2,000. FML

Sentimental value
Today, my husband convinced me to donate all the sentimental items around our house, like the kids' old toys. Now I feel absolutely gutted, like we gave away tons of our family history, but everyone else is so happy that things are less cluttered, so I just play along. I feel so empty. FML

Ydi for her having access to it. Either you should have taken it with you... Or you should have moved out of your Mom's home by now.

No, get the figures back! They cost more than she sold them for most likely.

Yeah, she probably sold them for next to nothing if she doesn't know star wars too well.

This just sucks on multiple levels OP. I understand you being upset, since you put a lot of work and cash into your collection. However, you kind of deserve it for giving your mom easy access to it. Something else to consider: You're 46. I thinks it's safe to assume that your mom is at least 25 years older. Is it possible that she may be going senile and that's what made her do what she did?

Why didnt you hide them if u live with your mom, otherwise you could take collection with you...

I would have cried too. I'm not a collector, but I do know people that collect, and the time and effort they put into it is amazing. FYL.

If you ever find your balls again, you'll realize your mother stole your property, and you might do something about it. Then again, I think most people lack the balls to take on their parents in such a manner.
