... In the Olden Days, everyone had a collection of something meaningful to them. These days, people have collections of PlayStation games, mp3s, talking dildos and other meaningless things. What things do you collect other than those mentioned above and Electronic-music-related stuff? I collect The Three Investigator books (and the two audiotapes!). My most expensive purchases were £15 for a 1967 Hardback edition of #2, £15.49 for the first Audiotape, The Secret of Terror Castle (a bargain!), and I believe I once forked out £30 for another hardback. But then, I've picked up some real bargains! Only £6.50 for a rare paperback!! |

Actually my father in law collected anvils, for reals. I could someday inherit his collection if they don't get sold - they're worth a dollar a pound, more for the old ones, and they're 200 or 300 pounds each. We need to get wmwmwmwwmw in here for some real! wacky! answers! |

I don't really have the collector personality, I like things as much as anybody else though, I'm just terrible with upkeep and such and a total slob so I cannot justify acquiring neat things for the sake of acquiring neat things, however attractive the idea of doing so is...my boyfriend is that sort of thing though, he really puts a lot of energy into maintaining and growing collections of various things relating to his hobbies. |

I think it's an interesting point you make regarding collecting things. People often refer to their DVD or videogame 'collections', but very few people are what I would deem real collectors of those. I think for something to be a collection, it has to be something which doesn't (or at least, no longer) serves much of a purpose, other than to be collected. Well, maybe not serves no purpose, but more that the primary instinct is to collect it, rather than use it for the intended purpose. I occassionally (rather cynically) buy rare records/books that I know will go up in value, if I can get them cheap, even if I have no interest in them myself. As a nipper I used to collect loads of things like monster in my pocket, boglins, etc., but I think that's probably normal amongst kids. I wouldn't consider myself a record collector now as anything I buy (other than the odd "as an investment" one, like the Analord binder) these days is first and foremost to have a high quality copy of myself. |

i don't know if cds count as a collection, i just buy a lot of them... when i was a kid, i used to collect pencils and bottle caps (how exciting). i also kind of "collected" fonts (so i have around a thousand now, all selected). the latest collection i did was dice (for roleplaying and stuff, quirky useless ones like 34-sided ones, 7-sided ones, round ones etc). but i kind of stopped; i will probably buy a 11-sided or 1-sided dice if i ever find one for example, because i like quirky and useless things anyway, but i'm not going to search for it in particular. |

haha, no, I don't think they're popular science, they just have weird titles I don't read them, really, nor do I actually collect them actively, I just have a few of them. My favourite is called "Gandhi and the atomic age." |

yeah in that respect, the only person I know who has a record collection is my father he's got so much stuff, and he keeps adding to it every day. He probably hasn't listened to more than half of it more than once, and some of it I believe he's never listened to. |

STD's. Theyre great fun collecting, but they're not that fun to have actually. The crowd goes wild. |

When I was a lad I used to collect Garbage Pail Kids trading cards. Also Transformers, He-Man and Star Wars figures. Keep checking eBay for a set of Insecticons, no dice. |

I used to be a serious vinyl hoarder, buying stuff on impulse several times a week. Spending £100 -£150 per week was common. A lot of the stuff got listened to just once and then filed away in the rack, never to be seen again. Going to university broke my vinyl addiction. |

I used to collect coins. Boring I know. I collected Eagle comics too, but I don't know if you could call that a collection since I bought them to read not just to collect. My mum thinks I collect coasters/drink mats. Christ knows where she got the idea from, but now whenever she travels anywhere she'll always bring a new one back for me. The daft moo. |
