Collectors. Are we sick?

[fett]

Maybe, I am. But what is it with the urge to collect things? Isn't one enough? You all know I collect guitars, both cheap and not so cheap. What do you guys and gals collect? Is there a way to stop from buying the next one for the collection? I think not.

I collect useless posts

...like this one.

You just wait and see what these people collect. I know, I'm no one trick pony.:ROTF: Oh, and if I am using up the finite supply of posts, I'm sorry.

I guess I'm sorta an entertainment junkie seeing as I'm single I like alot of stuff to keep me busy. So Guitars, cd's, dvd's, airsoft guns,videogames,digital artwork( anything cool off the internet) , some original comic book art pages and ofcourse since I'm single, porn, hahaha

Although I am trying to thin down my guitar collection seeing as I'm just a bedroom/hobby player and dont really need 9 guitars ( majority Custom shops).
But damn do I like variety and cool unique guitars. Even though I'm no monster player I just love guitars.

Then I look at my funds and cringed. doh!

I can't really afford to be a collector ... but if I could then I'd collect guitars, converse chuck taylors, LP's, cars.

I already have a small collection of LP's, most of them were my Dad's, but I could get som many more.

I'd also collect band merchandise, Stephen King books and I've got quite a few Hard Rock Cafe pins (mostly guitars).

I'd say airsoft guns are mostly the things I collect. Airsoft guns are cheaper and I think more fun as well, you can't shoot out a light with a guitar after all

I used to collect things until I had a girlfriend that I actually loved. Ever since then "things" just don't keep me happy anymore. It's kind of shitty really - makes happiness much harder to come by.

This has been the year that I crossed the line from just a "well-prepared" guitarist with spares for my main gigging and recording guitars, to a collector. Over the past few years, I've really narrowed down what features I'm looking for, and recently scored a couple of guitars that I didn't need, simply because of specs. For instance, I really like ash bodies, and grabbed a DR-3 and TH-2 that both have ash bodies and satin finishes. At under $200 each, they were steals, but I'll double that on mods.

Luckily, my wife continues to support my habit.

I collect grey hairs, excess weight and lately a fine layer of dust.

Collecting is %100 normal and natural, for example squirrels and nuts.

Fett, you are definitely sicker than me. I only have about 18 guitars, which is probably still sick, but hey, you're still sicker.

[atomic charvel guy]

We're human beings, well, some of us, so that makes us sick. I'm a collector of memories, and pushing the envelope as far as possible to add to the memory collection.

[Pigsnatcher]

Fett, I collect hot sauces. I've never gotten sick once!

I collect band merchandise, death/thrash LPs + CDs and horror films. I don't have enough money to collect guitars :P. It would be nice to have more of them though.
