What do you collect?

Roosterreid · 23-02-2015 04:42PM #1

Interested in hearing about what other people collect....

I have collected various things in my life, such as key rings, Simpsons figures and now I have a small collection of guitars.

As I have got older and have a bit more disposable income, I tend to reflect on my youth and have a tendency now to collect things from when I was growing up in the early 80's. I have my eye on a Raleigh Chopper amongst others.

Good German Rieslings.
Books.
Golf putters. The never ending saga of finding one I like!

I used to collect soaps, hairslides and necklaces when I was younger.

I don't really collect anything now.

Gig ticket stubs..have hundreds.

I have 18 pairs of football boots. I always get them cheap. I bought three pairs of the top grade adidas F50's that were 190 down to 19 each.

I can't say no to a bargain

Looking to start collecting thanks on AH, it's still a work in progress, apparently I'm just not witty enough

Do you display these or have them accessible somewhere? I tend to think that most people 'collect' things by putting them in a box and setting them to one side, not for viewing..... I know most of the things I have collected are now in 'storage' in the attic

eviltwin · 23-02-2015 04:54PM

Converse trainers, books

kylith · 23-02-2015 04:54PM

I collect books, teapots, cups, and succulents/cacti.

Cherries....

Giggidy.. Giggidy

In a shoebox:pac: ..maybe some day will put them in frame.

Watches.

Started with a digital, then a diver quartz. Then had to have an automatic, an automatic chronometer, a manual winding chronograph, the quest continues.

Shrunken heads.

Usually full sized when I get them. Mwah hah hah hah!

Tombi! · 23-02-2015 05:01PM

I've thought about collecting Warhammer Fantasy stuff but always figured it'd be too expensive and I'd have nowhere to put them.

Crap that my wife and daughters leave lying around the house.

Flibbles · 23-02-2015 05:15PM

Fluff in my bellybutton.

Where it comes from is anyone's guess, it's usually a different colour to whatever top I've worn that day.

Edit: just realised this makes it sound like I keep what I find in there, I don't, that'd be weird.

Slicemeister · 23-02-2015 05:18PM

Cigarette lighters.

Stray_Cat · 23-02-2015 05:19PM

I collect books and horror figures.

Have some pointless Monday trivia:

Navel lint appears to migrate upwards from underwear rather than downwards from shirts or tops. The migration process is the result of the frictional drag of body hair on underwear, which drags stray fibers up into the navel.

I unwittingly collect other peoples cigarette lighters,anytime i have a night out I'll always find at least two lighters in my jeans the next morning. I have amassed a fairly extensive collection at this stage but there is no sentiment attatched to them,I'll happily dole out lighters to anyone who asks.It also makes me feel less guilty about my drunken thievery
