Seing as the "let's get to know each other" post was a huge success, I'd like to continue that series.
For now, I would like to ask you, what do you collect? Whether it's bottlecaps or retro consoles or stamps, it's bound to be interesting for some!

I'll start. I like collecting retro stuff.
Retro Handheld Console collection (Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Sega Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket Color) ( i am missing gameboy pocket, gameboy color, gameboy advance sp, atari lynx and some more obscure ones that im not sure I want  such as the tigercom , and the nec turbofx)
Polaroid Cameras (SX-70, SX-70 Sonar, Polaroid 600 Series)
3dFX Graphics cards (Voodoo 5 5500 PCI, Voodoo 2, Voodoo 1 - i had more but I sold them when I needed money)


And then mention the most important piece of your collection.
For me this would be the Voodoo 5 5500 PCI. It's the world's first dual gpu graphics card and it's an oddity and somewhat rare. They went for $100-$300 on ebay but now it's extremely hard to get by one. I am holding on to it for when it will be worth more than that xD

About once a wee I go for walks on the beach with my fiancé and we collect sea shells, her favorite are the sunrise shells. A personal collection I've had for awhile is collecting old vintage film cameras along with new ones but man those old ones produce amazing film. Aside from that, something odd I've started to collect are funky sunglasses for when I'm hiking in snow or the desert. Check out NorhternLightOptics and let me know what you think of them haha.

By far my favorite collection has to be found in my wine cellar. Drink to health mates

I used to collect nerf guns and lego sets. I have over $3,000 worth of nerf guns over a very long time, i stopped because it got too expensive and they didn't have any new guns i liked. I have over $4,000 worth of lego sets over around the same amount of time, i would like to still collect them and build them but they also cost too much now.

Could of months ago I decided to start collecting those small clay painted fancy dragon sculptures, standing on rocks or swords or something.
I have 4.
They're so expensive but eh, it's a start
My Favorite is a blue-purple one which has a broken face cause I dropped it like 5 minutes after I bought it.
When I was younger I collected rocks and drew faces on them.
I also collect random crap. Got this yellow hamster thingy which I think is from pokemon but hey idk I've got it xd

I've always imagined you as like a old irish man that drinks whiskey and screams at people to get off his lawn while sitting on a bench in the park. But I'm pretty sure that's not the case because if it was: 1. you're a pedophile and 2. you're a pedophile

I collect shells:o
I have always had a huge interest in the beach, and ever since I was young I have collected shells. My room is beach themed, and my next tattoo has to do with the beach as well.
