    Yup, gave mine to a neighbourhood kid that I babysat.

    Honestly, over the years I think I’ve come to sour on the whole notion of collecting things as a hobby.

    It’s one thing if you’re collecting stuff that no one wants and will be junked otherwise, or are collecting things to restore them and get rid of them again, but collecting stuff that is either highly desired or potentially used, just to collect it and have it sit there, feels really wasteful and self indulgent.

      That’s how I feel about things that are created specifically to be collectables.

      Personally I collect cameras, some of them in order to use, some because they are nice to look at, or have interesting history.
