Having grown up with parents who are both collect-a-holics and who live in a house which looks more like a museum than somewhere to live, stuffed to the brim with antiques (junk to me) which you are not allowed to touch, being forced to spend tedious weekends when I was young trawling around antique fairs, shops and the like ... it has rather put me off seriously collecting anything.
I do love my gadgets but I don't actually collect them as I keep on selling old gadgets to pay for new ones. So 'collections' of anything don't mean much to me.
Unfortunately hubby is also a bit of a collect-a-holic and doesn't seem to throw much if anything away. He collects shoes, coats, aftershave (which he had to build a whole custom shelf for in his double wardrobe) and books which is why I now love ereading devices!
Seems like most people just love to collect things.
