[QUOTE="Robstyley, post: 494905, member: 6009"] I think I got a bit like that several years ago. I had more money then, was actively collecting and buying a lot and if I wanted something then I was getting it. No two ways about it. I think it’s easy as collectors to see an item we want just as the item, not the money it costs. And easily justify to ourselves why we must get it - I might not get another one, it’s a lot of money but it’s a good price for that etc. I’ve never spent more than a couple of hundred pounds on one item, that’s my rough limit. Beyond that it’s not fun anymore, it’s getting too serious and I can’t justify it. At the moment due to personal circumstances and ill health I don’t have any money to spend on collecting so it’s the opposite. I value everything a lot more and I’m happy collecting on a tight budget and selling to buy other stuff. I think the danger is for guys with a lot of spare cash, if you don’t need it for something else then you will be desensitised to it and it just becomes like monopoly money that you’ll hand over without blinking an eye.
