I collect the scalps of those foolish enough to get in front of my 109 on greatergreen.

I just recently started collecting DVD (haven't got many yet

). Though I don't think I'll ever get as much as my friend's family. They got somewhere between 1500 and 2500 DVDs I think.

I collect cds. I have somewhere around 110 to 120 and my collection is constantly growing. It's become a bad habit almost; I can't stop buying cds and it leaves me with very little money (sort of like a cocaine addiction).

I collect shrunken heads in jars. I have 6 thousand.

Do you have anyone famous?

I wouldn't say I collect CD's, but I have around 150 at the moment, I seem to buy a new one every week.

When my nanna died, I inherited her stamp collection, which I've been told is quite valuable. There are 27 folders full of stamps from all over the world, and some are extremely old. I'm sort of getting into the stamp collecting thing now, reading about some of the stamps history that I own, and also adding to the collection.

I've also got a LOT of coins from around the world, and some are also really old. Most of my coins are the packaged collector ones from the Australian Mint which my grandpa use to get me for birthdays and Christmas'. I don't know how much that collection is worth, but around 6 months ago I counted the Australian coins and that was about $800 if I were to spend it at the shops. Some of the rarer coins might be worth more to a collector though.

I also collect gaming consoles (well, actually I never throw them out or sell them). I own:
1x Atari
4x Nintendo
2x SNES
1x Sega Mega Drive
1x Sega Saturn
1x Playstation
1x PSone
2x Nintendo 64 i
1x Dreamcast
2x Xbox
And recently I bought a second hand Playstation 2 and Gamecube

And for my handhelds I have:
1x Nintendo Game and Watch
2x Original grey coloured Gameboys
2x Orginal coloured Gameboys (black and red)
1x Pocket Gameboy
2x Colour Gameboy (both lime green)
1x Gameboy Advance
2x Gameboy Advance SP (silver and black)
1x Nintendo DS (Got this week at launch)
And I'm considering importing a PSP

If you're wondering why I have so many gaming machines, it's because when my older brothers moved out, they didn't want them any more so they just gave them to me.
All of the consoles are in perfect working order (except for one of the Nintendo's) and I own most of the accessories. Out of all the systems, the Dreamcast is my favourite.

I dont collect anything now but I used to collect bookmarks, porcelain dolls, little dolls from different countries and soaps. None of the "collections" are big. I've got 6 porcelain dolls I just got tired of it plus I had no place for more. 10 dolls from different countries and soaps, all I know is that it's enough.

Elijahfan · 27-02-2005, 10:28 PM

been collecting shot glasses since i was in the fifth grade so that would make me about 11 i think when i started, i just though they were so cool and small. i get them when ever i travel so they have the names of states on them, also key chains and decks of cards with places on them. basically i'm a sucker for the crap in suviner stores.

Lets bump a thread. Here's some photos of some of my Star Wars collection.

I'm sad, but, never mind.

acliff · 15-04-2005, 11:55 PM

I collect anything that interests me at the time.... at the moment its cooking implements such as knives, utensils, pots and pans. When I get get my SLR camera fixed, it will be my camera.

aznkkfan · 16-04-2005, 01:08 AM

Wow.

i used to collect stickers, marbles, pokemon cards. Now i'm starting a small shot glass collection, rocks/minerals, lucky stars, and i guess anything that interests me will be added to my list.

I feel your pain. If there's a CD shop, I'll have to go in and see if there's something I haven't got yet and obviously have to have. Unfortunately, there usually is. HMV in London is pretty much what I think heaven looks like: all the CDs I could possibly want, and then loads I don't want, for mocking purposes. Lovely
