Just to make sure I got this right.  
When it comes to collectibles. 
It can become a collectibles if someone bids on it.  So you have to bid on your own collectible and if no one buys it your stuck with it?  Like you can't just mark it as a collectible and have others bid on it , right? Just wanted to make sure I got it right
