Podcasts / / January 07, 2021
In this issue, Pasha Fedorov and his guest, Lifehacker Development Director Rodion Scriabin, discuss the costs of the hobby. For example, Rodion collects guitars, records, fountain pens, ukuleles and comics. By the way, you can safely defend your dissertation on the basis of comics when you listen to this episode of "Wasted".
2:22— Rodion talks about the emergence of his hobbies and why he needs 16 identical T-shirts of the same color.
10:50— opening of the day from Rodion: There are institutes in the USA that research the quality of comics.
16:20— why comics - this not just a hobby, but also a way of profitable investment. For example, two years ago a comic about Spider-Man autographed by Stan Lee was estimated at 10-15 thousand rubles, and now - in 50 thousand. However, not all hobbies are as profitable. For example, Pasha collects notebooks that are unlikely to be resold at a premium.
21:05— the main question: how much does it cost to collect comics?
28:28— Pasha and Rodion discuss signs that indicate that the financial and time costs of a hobby are becoming irrational. And Pasha also said that he once sold more than 30 kilograms of comics for 9 thousand rubles.
42:11— Pasha and Rodion talk about how their loved ones feel about their passion for comics. Alas, sometimes one cannot do without a sense of shame: when they found a stack of new comics on the table at Rodion's desk, he lied that some of them were not his.
48:25— can you make money from collecting? If you are a seller — Yes.
49:31— Rodion warns the novice collector against mistakes and advises him to improve his expertise in the chosen field. The main rule for him is: if you can not collect, then you better not collect.
53:01— heading "Shopping". Pasha is now in self-isolation, so he advises everyone to buy something tasty and pamper themselves so as not to go crazy. And Rodion pre-ordered special COVID masks.
