Has anyone else gone holy shite when realised how much they have spent?

I am in the same boat as most of you guys, when I started collecting I really had no idea what I was spending on CE's.

It's only once I started recording my items, did I start to understand this was too much and slowed down.

[vhal_x]

Yeah, I really didn't realise how much I'd spent until one night a friend bet us that we had over £10,000 worth of stuff

We told him to shut up, and after only a little bit through the collection, we'd already passed £10,000.

We stopped there Didn't want to unleash the horror xx

Just think about all you collect as an investment. It willl make you feel less guilty. Also I believe it better to indulge ourselves into something constructive as game collecting hobby than to spend dough on smoking ***t, and getting into other wrong ways. Positives for game collecting outweigh the negatives by a fair margin IMHO.

I kinda know how much I spent. I keep all my receipts for my games. Then I keep all the data in an Excel file with a bunch of other info. Though right now I'm behind on it.
I've probably have spent over a 100k in the last years that I've been collecting. It's kinda scary lol.

100K+? You lot are sick!

[vhal_x]

Believe me Likey, stick around here long enough, and it'll happen to you! xx

I'm sure I've already hit the £1000 mark already and most of it was this month. :/

Yeah, I've only been collecting for (almost) a year, and my collection is already well into the 5 figures Counted one small portion, realised that part alone was worth over £10,000 and then refused to count any more haha xx

[Likey]

Haha! Wow, I hope you have a good job or don't need to pay the mortgage, or have a rich husband.

I haven't gone completely nuts for CE/LE stuff, probably will if it is Final Fantasy related though but they don't release them that often and I only recently caught the bug lol.

Haha, I'm a stay at home mum, LOL - but my boyfriend works and he collects too, so that's why xx
