Yeah, I think most people go through those cycles. Can't always be in "hoard mode" all the time. Nothing wrong with that at all.

But then again, if you didn't have "all those things that nobody will ever know you had" you wouldn't have won that nifty prize So SOMEBODY knows you have 'em at least.

Well you should always do what you love but the rest of the quote i do not understand.

Are you really saying you mostly collect things just so other will know you have them? It just sounded that way.

I think most of us collect because we love the franchise and the items of that franchise we collect for. Showing the items off is a bonus... and we only do it to share our passion with others who share the same passion and can appreciate the items like we do. There is always a small part of it being "Hey! Look at what I got! Don't you want it!?" with all of us... some of us are worse then others though.

Very true... we all curb our collecting from time to time for various reasons. Some of us even sell parts of our collections. But I do not collect to show others I collect because i enjoy searching for the items and finally finding the one i was looking for (or one I wasn't looking for).

There is always a small part of it being "look at what I got and you don't" with all of us... some of us are far worse then others though.

No I don't actively buy things to show them off and say hey look what I have

So the comment from before was just worded poorly? You just meant you have no one else to actively share your collection with and that is a big part of why you collect?

It was worded very poorly
I have no one in the real world to share my collection and displaying it is becoming difficult, and storing it is more difficult as all my shelves are full and overflowing and my storage space is overflowing

But I realize I am coming across as really negative right bow
But I don't feel negative
