    Poor *******s.

    I collect beer glasses.

    A while ago collected countries, and women of different races. Never completed those collections. Got to 68 countries though.

    I don't specifically collect them but I have quite a few arcade pcb's I have gathered over the years for my machines. Street Fighter, NBA Jam etc, that kind of thing. Collecting just for the sake of it bothers me, it's just clutter. I watch that show on Foxtel, Collectaholics. It makes me ill seeing shelf after shelf of random garbage.

    Family friend;
    Married
    no kids (a cat)
    50years old
    house paid off near the beach at st.kilda.
    Their combined income is around $220k pa.

    Apparently she has a $125k shoe collection....

    Does that cross the line from collecting to addiction? I'm leaning towards yes!

    Nothing - hate clutter and even had a minor clean out yesterday.

    I guess - if honest - I do collect Grand Designs (UK, Aust, Abroad) DVD's as they're pretty good of an evening, after hubby has gone to bed, and there is nothing on TV

    I've got a constantly growing collection of militaria and general historical items. Always had a passion for it (to the point that I have a degree in history and politics :)).

    Most of it are medals, rifles, uniforms, helmets, letters and various other paper paraphenalia, maps, flags etc.

    Also have a sizeable book collection. Adelaide university sells off parts of their collection each year to make new space, so they sell off books which haven't been checked out of the library for 50+ years. So I buy boxes of ornate and unique pre-1900's books for display in book cases.

    Sounds more like 'trade-in' than collecting. Unless she still has the other 5? :D

    She wouldn't be doing that. The penalty for polygamy is extremely severe.
