I used to collect tiny or unusual salt & pepper shakers. Gave them to a friend when moving & dusting became to much. I get to see them occasionally Now I collect icons for Object Dock. I have done some cleaning and now have 3.21 GB 48,931 files

It's My Secret

Zubaz: I REALLY like that!!!! You might like some of these, and they are very affordable too.WWW Link

And I have my heart set on one of these when they come out..... WWW Link

i collect books and skins and knifes (now that i'm divorced i'll maybe back to collect swords/blades)

Should we be concerned?

Not identical...but close to an old watch I had.....still have it, though it's long dead.

Good grief....!!!!

I was 'inspired' to pull it apart myself...see if I could get it going....and looks like I have.....

Checking online has similar around the 250 US mark...if you can find them.

I paid $100 AUS about 30 years ago.....

Jafo rushes off to give it a careful clean and polish....

What time is it? If you buy that watch its time to get your head examined.  

 

That's it....'Lanco Quartz' LED watch ....blank black screen....until you press a button...then quite small red LEDs light up for around 2 seconds.

Great watch for night time...not so great during the day.

Thanks, guys for inspiring me to try it again.....silly jeweller was probably inserting the batteries [2] the wrong way round....they're in series [3 volt]...

I hadn't used/worn it for possibly more than a quarter of a century.....

I used to collect Beanie Babies, have a decent collection and some that I darn well know are rare. Otherwise, anime/manga volumes prolly don't count, right? Not much other collecting is done, mostly due to money and mostly due to allergies (when you collect things, you have to dust them, and when you're allergic to dust... something has to give).

The watch I want is only about $27,000...

I must admit I am a bit of a Watch freak too. Love Citizen Eco-Drives and I have three of them. My fav is a limited addition Blue Angels.   

I collect Harley Davidson Motorcycles....well... I used to before marriage.
Now I am starting a collection of Wives.   

Ah, so you've moved to Utah to set yourself up one of those polygamist type homesteads where you can read latter day teachings on how to manage very large families....and the essential polygamist's manual: 'How to Cope With Several Mother-in-Laws Without Weapons or Tranquilizers.'

I collect socks. I'm a lil bit OCD about my socks. I have about 84 pairs, i think. But I only keep them for a month. Did I say a lil OCD?

I used to collect coins. I still have a coin collection, I just stopped adding onto it. My prize? An 1889 Liberty Head silver dollar. My grand-father gave it to me before he died.

I have lots of comic books too. All the Spawns, the origional Tomb of Dracula series (there were only 7...circa 1975, a present from my brother), and almost all the Ghost Riders.

I also have an extensive collection of plastic Arby's cups (I'm a pack rat sometimes, too. Did I mention OCD?)

Best watch I ever had.

I must confess to a stamp collection   not complete or anything but mostly British, Channel Islands and USA stamps, albums and FDC's. Something I drift in and out of   

Before I moved to Oz from Devon in 69, I had a stamp collection that was the envy of quite a few serious collectors: 2 mint penny blacks; 7 mint penny reds; a mint twopenny blue; several franked reds & 3 blacks; the complete Silver Jubilee set, both mint and franked; the complete Elizabeth II Coronation set; dozens of other commemorative sets of most eras and the 1908 & 1948 London Olympics sets.

Sadly, because it would be worth quite a bit these days, I was unable to bring it with me and the 'didn't have a friggin' clue' uncle I left with took every single stamp out of their albums (5 in all) and glued them onto a huge sheet of paper to create a very expensive mural 'of sorts'.

We was very lucky that I was half-way around the world...or his premature demise would have been on the cards.

Well, as Jafo allready pointed out; I collect skins, and have over the years (since 98/99) stacked up quite a few.
Standing count is 53116 (18 GB of HD space) skins and themes for 175 different applications, and the count goes up every day.

Most of the applications went out of use ages ago but I still keep the skins just in case someone might need'em
I've also helped a lot of people recovering their precious creations, lost in various hardware failures.

The 'pride' of my collection and the topranking section, is offcouse the WindowBlind skins.
Totalling in, at a standing count of 7779, I am probably (or most likely) the one person on this planet who has the most WindowBlinds
Many of them cannot be found anywhere else other than on my pc  

Snowman, if you lived in the US, you could probably get a historical archive grant from some government source.

I collect lunatic ex-girlfirends.

Maybe it's just me who sends them that way   

you are not alone

Snow....can you dump them to DVD and pass them on...to someone else...as a backup archive....just in case something 'clever' happens to your machine...like you install Windows on it and it takes exception GPF-ly....

You have my addy...surely...

I have a nice collection of ww2 and post ww2 stamps from the former USSR.Its quite a large collection.Was found when my family was cleaning out my grandmothers house.
This might interest you Jafo...I also collect number plates(licence plates to the americans).I have one or two that are hard to come by.My fav collection is of hard to get iron maiden picture discs.

My collection is of tools. Tools for a very wide range of different stuff too. But mainly working on cars and computers. Now days that has come to where some of these are of the high tech type. Using computers to increase horse power and such. Seems the new chips they use can be picked and in most case just replaced to gain a few more horses under the hood. Then there are the computer tools which some are old and a lot of new ones. They are always coming out with something better to do things easier with. But my wife like it for one reason. If something breaks I fix it for her. I do all kinds of different work and have a very big use for tools. One could say "you can not live without them"...

SGT

OH Maaann!! just tragic.. speachless
