i asked this question in another thread and thought it might deserve its own topic....so after diggin around here for a minute i still havent been able to figure out what peoples collections consist of, when i first joined i thought the majority collected hiphop/breaks/funk/soul, obviously theres a lot more going on then that, do you collect more then records?
what are you collecting?
what are you collecting?

Nailpolish? It's not a collection, I just somehow have, like, 30.
the collectors quandry
as far as the records go i mostly have hiphop from the late 70's to the early 90's around the mid 90's i got into house/breaks & dnb/jungle so i have a bit of that in my collection as well as rock&roll;, jazz, folk but i went on random record "fits" years ago and would buy everything and anything for a while, so i have some fluff/filler in my collection, but thats always good for sampling imo, i stopped buying records about 3 yrs ago as i ran out of space in my cramped condo, but now i own a house and its nice to be buying records again....hell! its nice to have room to buy more records again..
i do beta testing for MS as well so i have a bit of a collection of raer goods from microsoft as well...and i am a collecter of spraypaint as well mainly Krylon discontinued colors and acrylics, graffiti books and a crap load of other things...
...and also clothes.
Tapes - Old Rap tapes to play on my boom box when I'm playing basketball
Keyboards - Vintage, Analog, etc
Microphones - Vintage, new, dynamic, condenser, ribbon
12s - rap, reggae and a grip of minimal techno that is in boxes I haven't unpacked from three moves ago.
10s - reggae and some weirdo rock releases
45s - le punk, soul, reggae and some weirdo rap releases
I kinda hate the term collector cause it objectifies the objects - like never taking the first Barbie out of her box to play with her and enjoy her for her dollness.
I also have a lot of books, shoes, purses and old glassware.
Kicks
Batman Action figures
Black Super Hero Marvel DC
Cookbooks
Comic Books - but that has slowed down unfortunaely
There'a new Black Barbie subset that is the shit. I mean really good sculpting, not some painted brown white Barbie steez.
Hot Sauce
I wouldnt say movies but i got joints

2. Records
3. Old doors/ moldings/ fixtures/ hardwood floor : I work on old houses and try to maintain their arch. integrity by using materials that are of the same era as the houses. I've got a mad door collection, actually it's a bit outta hand.
At the moment it's all about (in order):
Records (45s & LPs - soul/funk/R&B/jazz/blues/punk/hardcore/garage/rockabilly)
Guitars
Motorcycles (although a couple of them have been sold lately....)
previously I've been obsessed by:
CDs
78s
Cassette Tapes
Matchbox Cars (still have hundreds in storage)
Those mini GI Joe action figures from the 80s (still have a few of them tucked away someplace)
Golf Balls with advertising logos on them (what a fucking massive can of worms that shit was... so many)
Guitar World Magazine
Thrasher Magazine
Transworld Skateboarding Magazine
Commando War Comics
I think I'm doing well limiting it to 3 things at the moment, although unfortunately they are the 3 most expensive things lol
yeah i spotted that today, although um not much of a mac fanboi, still really cool for someone into vintage mac, not worth what they are asking for it though, they have sold for $14,000 to about $16,000 before..

actually, just bought 1st cassette player recently, so now i'm collecting cassettes as well. if you wanna sell some PM me!
But you use them, right? Collect them, as in you want different hot sauce flavours and heats and consistencies depending on what you're eating?
I mean I only buy one type of bread, one type of juice and one type of soap. But I have about 15 different types of heat in my cupboard and fridge...it's food that gets used, finished and restocked in some way.
Is that me collecting hot sauce?
I collect hot sauce too!
PM sent!
