Hello my name is Desi and I am an addict 😭 lol im usually smart and not an impulsive buyer. But since April, i have been buying things i didn't plan to. Today i spent $500 on groceries, CDs and DVDs to add to my collection. At least my DVR will thank me since i can delete a few of the 400 movies I've recorded 😂 im usually smart with money and i think i will be soon again. But i haven't been making Grocery shopping lists since corona hit. So now i just grab and go. I literally spent an hour sorting the movie bin at the store today. I bought at least 40 movies 🤷♀️ I also loaded up on a bunch of Mountain Dew Baja Blast. At least i bought the right kind this time 🙃 #FeelFreeToList#HelloMyNameIs#AndIAmAnAddict

LOL welcome to the club So to speak and I am not laughing at you I am laughing at myself because when you say I'm an addict to me that could mean many different things like the obvious drugs, but to me it could mean things like sex, gambling, a hoarder but I call it being a Pack Rat lol I am new on here and I have given my opinion on a few things but you asked what I like to collect, well now I am basically what they call A Picker I collect old collectable things but especially old car and bike stuff and I really like getting old Gas/Service Station paraphernalia old gas pumps old shop supplies etc etc I just like old things I could go on but that's for another time. You sound like a very interesting person who I would like to know a bit better so I am going to follow you (now that really sounds weird if I said it anywhere else except on here LOL) Take care n' Cheers

I got a collection of Hess Trucks from 1986 to about 2016. I got some beanie babies buried in my closet. I got old iphones (Iphone 4,4s,5,5s,6,6s,7, 7 plus, 8, 8 plus, X. I got old JC Penny snowglobes (since JC Penny is going out of business, I think there will be more of a commodity) and other old cell phones (Startac, Razr V3, V9)
Movies, on hdd's... over 2k so far... spend not even a quarter (piratebay is like magic)
Seeds... mostly food but also other kinds... my grand-grandmother started the collection in 48'
Nice memories... if I have a nice one, I write them down with date and how I felt, then I put them in a big glass jar with a "good memories" tag... if im depressed, I open it and read them to get out of my black hole
A specific kind of necklace, partly jewellery, but not that expansive... as example, I got a tiny blue butterfly for a keychain, the butterfly is a littler sapphire... or a necklace made from Italian art glass... that kind of stuff
Music, but I need to see the band live in person, and just good isn't good enough... the music needs to put you somewhere else, and needs to be played from a pro (most guitarists are not that good at playing, they just found a good melody)... but sometimes there is a diamond in the rough Like "My Baby", first saw them on a free donations concerts, last time it was 26bucks per person... but people say that my hearing is made for the best music, because popularity doesn't count, my cd collection is still the best
Before I did too, but imagine 2k movies, even as dvd or blueray they need a massive ammount of space to store... now with hdd I even have higher resolution than blueray and the complete collection fits in my pants bag and weights about 2 pounds
Lots of things. I collect books and information, movies and stories that I like, old things or things that inspire creativity (I've got a wooden kelidescope from the seventies found at an estate sale. I don't know why I just think its cool. Also have a laser etched crystal ball with the solar system etched into it and an old fashioned compass with sundial. On top of that I have a bust of Beethoven, a hand carved tiki statue, an enameled statue of a Chinese buddha, etc.). Anything that sparks the imagination or is old (or unique (have a metal etched box from japan, have seen some ornamentals from India I would love to buy if I had the money, etc.) I will try to collect.
I’m a major shopper too. Tbh I don’t actually “keep a collection” of anything that would be considered a “collector’s item.” I just keep a billion different products like hygiene stuff. Actually, I take that back. I collect perfumes, but they don’t just sit there. I use them and buy more. I guess you could say I collect lotions, bath salts, shampoos & conditioners, nail polishes... yeah, my place is packed. Plus SHOES!!! I have literally hundreds of pairs. BUT I don’t consider them “collections” because they don’t just sit there. I actually use it and replace it.

Join the club , I am addicted to Jewelry , I have probably more than 30,000 pieces. You can see I have a problem from the items I list from auctions. I have 150 or so Greatest Hits CDs , over all thousands of CDs. I have a ton of DVDs , many never opened. I have Dean Martin Roasts , like 40 . I have 2000+ Original Oils, limited Prints, and Pastels , and oil reproductions. I would guess I have $600,000 retail in Art now. I have a Dali worth $30,000 or well that is what it last auctioned for a few years ago.
Now $500 in groceries is just half a cart these days. I think me and you and our dog Boo, would be dangerous going to flea markets or estate sales. Some people thing I am a pack rat.
YOU HAVE 400 MOVIES RECORDED? that's impressive... i know you're gonna get smart with money soon, Desi... me? i like to collect mufflers still... i like to collect auto parts too, the distributor i broke and replaced... yeah, that thing is still useful, i can weld it in one position after gutting the broken parts and use it if something else goes wrong... i also like colllecting spray paint from projects, they'll be useful sometime later... I LOVE COLLECTING LOOSE HARDWARE, IT'S WONDERFUL and it don't go bad... i like collecting tools for obvious reasons as well

Hello my name is Richard and I'm addicted to miniature wargaming specifically Star Wars related is 2 days since I last placed a pre-order for some miniatures.
well I used to collect unicorns but they are getting so hard to find these days. You have to hang out for a long time around the fairy rings and you just might get a glimpse of one if you are lucky. lol But seriously I did collect them for a while. I had statues, rings, puzzles, I even had a brass bell with a unicorn for the handle. At least I had it until I rang it one to many times for my ex to come bring me something. she never could take a joke. lol
I like to collect shells when I go to the beach & after I filled up one my countertops with them I stopped collecting them & started collecting sand dollars instead.
In the bigger shells yes & as for the little shells nothing buy static.

Omg! Dvds and CDs too!! I'm not the only one :) But I also do video games too. I love looking through clearance bins and resale shops for stuff likr that. It's like nerd crack 😂
Don't really collect anything when I was a kid I collected beer cans I had a bunch of odd ball beer cans I had a Jimmy Carter beer can it had his name his picture and some peanuts in the shell on the can I don't know why it had peanuts
Ooo, I bought a pair for my mum, she didn't like it but threw out the receipt cause that's just her, so I couldnt return it. Bought her another pair. Same thing. Thank god we have the same size feet
I go through collecting phases, so I have a few different collections. Trading cards, movie memorabilia, video games, model kits, dvds and cds.. but I find it hard to let things go 😂 so I just struggle to store it all!!

I seem to collect exes! 😃😄😄
Actually, I enjoy buying hand tools, especially old tools and antiques which do not necessarily have great value as antiques but which are well made, useful tools.
@DizzyDesii From books to cards, electronic components to precious gemstones, pop culture merchandise to hat pins, celebrity autographs to photos/sentimental items, and so much more
