Now let's go straight into the discussion about the meaning of the term kolpri itself. In accordance with the sub-heading above, kolpri itself is an abbreviation of two words that form a phrase.
If this abbreviation is detailed again, surely Vicigers can immediately understand its meaning. Indeed, this term cannot be found in the Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language (KBBI), but if you search on the internet, many will come out.
Quoted from the page Indonesian Wiktionary slang, “kolpri” is a combination of “personal collection”. This term is often used by collectors to refer to the collectibles they own.
However, when this term is embedded in products on e-commerce pages, there is a 'hidden' meaning that applies specifically among fellow collectors. This meaning can differentiate the quality of the collectibles.
What does it mean? Is it important for this label to be on a collectible? Is it some kind of secret code related to rarity or something? Well, it's not that complicated.
The context of 'quality' here is more directed at the second-hand label of a collection. In general, this term will be used by collector/sellers attach to various collectible items (as products) that they sell.
Because later the products they sell are counted as second-hand goods, the price will certainly be different from new collectibles. Yep, of course it will be cheaper.
Well, as an effort to maintain the price of the second-hand collectibles, they attach this term. That way, prospective buyers will know that the product is a first-hand second-hand item.
What is the difference between items that are kolpri and those that are not? Simply put, not everyone out there can have this label. This is because there are also collectible items that do not come from first-hand personal collections.
In context comic for example, often the second-hand items are collections from former libraries. There are even collections from former libraries, whose items are the result of grants or donations!
Comic with ownership records like this, they will generally be in much worse condition (not mint condition) because they have changed hands many times – very different from used Kolpri comics.
As a result, non-kolpri goods often have many defects. It is no wonder that the price will be able to fall more when compared to kolpri goods which are considered better maintained and have not been 'handled by many'.
So, for Vicigers who might be interested in venturing into the hobby world and becoming collectors but can't afford to buy new ones, you can definitely make used collectibles an alternative option.
However, VCGamers recommends that you look for collectibles that have a kolpri label. That way, the quality of the product you get can be better maintained at a relatively cheaper price.
