Hopefully I don't come off as too judemental, but I've always viewed collecting things as a very negative endeavour. If you think about the entire process from it's early stages to when it stops, it seems like a waste of time and energy. To me anyway.
If I don't use it, I don't want it. The joy of non-ownership, as someone else put it.
The less I own the better I feel.
I only collect experiences... But those guitars do look pretty sweet!

My wife and I travel a lot and I used to travel a ton when I did sign surveys. Trying different beer is a bit of a hobby for me. I have over 500 different beer bottles. The worst one I've ever had was Cave Creek Chili beer. The bottle comes with a chili pepper in it and tastes like what you'd imagine: beer infused with pepper "juice". It's the only beer I've ever poured out.
The picture shows a few. They're all boxed up and in the attic now due to lack of space.

That doesn't sound too judgmental. It's what you think, believe and live your life.
I don't think it can be considered negative. I mean, think about trash men or recycling companies.... they collect all kinds of stuff and then turn it in for money. Your loss, their gain.
My father-in-law collected coins and stamps. He worked at the post office since WWII. Did he come across all kinds of rare stamps and coins ?? My wife cashed them in a few years ago.... and she made quite a stunning amount of loot. It wasn't negative, but it was heavy.
She had one dime, worth I don't remember how many hundreds of dollars. She had a few bills, each being worth $1,000's. We could've bought two new luxury cars..... cash and still have money left over.
Nope, collecting might not be for everybody, but it's definitely not negative, unless you're collecting buttons or paper clips.

I don't collect anymore but did collect beers cans from all over the US and Over Seas. Have a few hundred, some very unique cans and cone tops too. Been in storage for about 25 years... damn, now I feel like I need to dig them out...
...or send them to me. I'd give them a good home.

LOL... MOZE That Chili Beer is my all time favorite beer ... It has many positives such as you cant drink more than six, its a great cleanser for your system, You never have to worry about anyone stealing/Bumming a beer from you and You get a little meal at the end of each beer.
I have filled suitcases full of that stuff while doing installs out west and flew it back home because we cant get it here.

Well, I guess I should be more clear. I had a collection of guns. I then had them all in my boat on Lake Billy Chinook when it flipped and tragically, I lost them all in the lake. I am thinking of taking scuba classes.:Oops:

Funny, I have a family friend that used to dive in Lake Billy Chinook. He found all kinds of old outboards, and things like that. I don't know that he ever pulled anything up. I don't believe he has your guns.

Sit on those long enough and they may turn to gold.
