Pretty sure there won't be any need for a carry-on anytime soon once he gets here

But you're right, I'd probably fit better on his lap.

Sin · 12-13-2005

Thanks for the suggestion btw.

Bhelliom · 12-13-2005

damnit.

That's it. I'm going to BC

Sin · 12-13-2005

Why? You going to collect loonies too?

Bhelliom · 12-13-2005

I only want the one

Sin · 12-13-2005

However will you choose? There's so many!

Bhelliom · 12-13-2005

I'm sure I could come up with a series of tests to decide which one.

Sin · 12-13-2005

Gotcha.

Kinda like an MMPI?

Very strange.... I like it!

Grump · 12-13-2005

I have a fairly large vinyl collection, around 2500 LPs and 12" singles and 5,000 45s. I don't collect them, they are from my days in radio and were used. No idea what to do with them now, never listen to them anymore.

I collect money. Or I guess I really collect numbers, the higher the number the better (on the bank account).

Trev · 12-13-2005

I started reading this thread... then I realised it was huge...

A.) I'm collecting antique meccano for my dads xmas box

B.) I need to check in more

sarettah · 12-13-2005

They don't make the real deal Meccano any more, it turns out that this stuff is worth a mint if sold right, most of the fuckers are selling grandads collection, but in bits, I'm looking at making 3 number 10 sets and they go for about £1900 UK per set

Oh and my dads 8 and 9 set cost £791 in total. He'll be well made up

My husband had his all tidily packed away...until his Mom "cleaned" when he left home for college.

The comic books went, too.

My mom threw my brother's comic books out as well. Well, she didn't actually do it, she told the cleaning woman to clean out the bottom of my brother's closet and she threw out the boxes. He was devistated.

Everything you get is plastic these days, the old steel and brass are big money

Yep, it's all plastic these days - made in France.

The big sellers are the real deal (made in Liverpool) items, you can't go wrong, no plastic and the parts are stamped

Nickatilynx · 12-13-2005

I searched..

1875 pound for a set...holy fucking shit..

It is cool though..LOL

Newton · 12-13-2005

For that kind of money you could get your own jcb and cashpoint lol

As usual I had no idea what the hell you guys were talking about.

So I looked it up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meccano

Very interesting indeed!

Sabby · 12-13-2005

Im not a big collector of anything... I hate clutter and chaos...

I'm not overly big on jewelry either for the same reason...

I do however have an extensive collection of shoes and erotic clothing (what of it hasnt been stolen by my cam girls...) but its stuff I use.

I used to have lots of webgirls posting their old clothes they used for one photoshoot and then posted them for sale on my old NSC board. I always bought ALL of it.

I like useful stuff. Lingerie and shoes might be a colectors item for some women... but I live in this stuff.

Guitars, but I don't have many yet..

The next one I'm going to add is this one: http://www.deanguitars.com/usa_razorback_tribute.htm

Geez man, 30k for a watch? As much as I love music and instruments the only thing I could see myself paying 30k for is a decent studio. Not one object.. Even if I had the money to blow. I guess when you come from a family where money was tight you tend to hold on to what you get.

Seriously , and off the record..I TOTALLY agree.

I reconsidered and am going to buy the cheaper version....I think LOL

I have been fighting with that voice that still liurks in my head that says things like..

"For a fucking watch!!!!!!"

However... I ignored the voice a few times when I looked at paintings and those have been THE best investments I have ever made.

Still thinking on that comment....

Ok...another point...

Say it takes you a week to earn 2k , and thats the most you spend on a guitar.

Say I earn 30k a week and spend that on a watch...

We are both equally as extravagant surely?

If you got it sweetie... play with it...

never feel guilty about it unless you really need it for something else.

whatever makes you happy... you earned it you deserve it.

I think it's once you cant find something that makes you happy... then you have a big problem.

Yes, and it's going to cost me twice that to get the guitar that I posted!

Black face looks smaller imho. There isn't one guy with a Breitling in the office that isn't a white face.

well all i say is

if you have it and can spend it without being sorry fucking do it.

you take nothing to the grave so wear it drinking fuck it as long as next day you don't have to say

SHIT NOW I HAVE TO PAY RENT, FOOD, KIDS SCHOOL.

ahhh and fuck saving for kids and shit just make sure you can put them to the best school you can and that when you die there is something to split.

let them bust ass like you did (with a little help from papa that is good but no rich kid shit) they will thank you for it.

I know i thank my parents for it.

I am getting ready to begin a collection of ancient greek artifacts. Haven't even made my first purchase yet

If you're into serious collection check out the Sotheby's website.
