So as the title says, what do you collect and don't say clothes, shoes unless there is something special about them.

Me, my dad had a huge collection of collector glasses, wine, beer, etc.

Mum sold them off for a nice profit about 15 years ago and I started to collect them in the last 5 years, I'll buy a bottle of something I don't drink if its got a free collector glass or pot with it.

Cameras, this has been something I've done since day dot.
All up I have about 600 cameras, ranging from 1945 to today, mostly film but also some very early digital SLR's and some flashes that are at least 50 years old. My best friends boss owns a huge camera store and when I threw her engagement party here he was amazed at the cameras. When I bought the house I'm in I had to get the shed rebuilt so they can be stored. Also have 1 rule with the cameras, they must work, even the box brownies.

And you'll have to be pretty f'ing amazing to change that

I don't collect them, but there is a brownie and (I think) a hand-held flash here from my folks. I can't walk past a marble, I have a lot of those!

I couldn't keep a wine long enough to collect it ;)

I make wine, I didn't consider it collecting. It's aging and waiting it's turn while its peer group grows........OK, it looks like I collect that, too. But wine made from grapes? Ew, the horror!

I collect dust. I have a phenomenal amount right now. ;)

Sorry, that was a bit facetious. I guess the only thing I really collect are videogames. I have probably 300 or so right now. I don't think it was intentional so much as they aren't really worth anything to get rid of.

Above all... remember: you are beautiful, you are valuable, and you have a shining spark of magnificence within you. Don't let anyone take that from you. Embrace who you are. <3

The flash screws onto the side of the Sunbeam Six Twenty.

I collect personal cassette players and recorders. My focus is high end models from the late 80s and early 90s. Practically all I had bought were complete junk, but I have repaired quite a few of them and use them to listen music I record onto cassette tape or sometimes listen via FM radio on models that feature a radio with a FM transmitter plugged into my MP3 collection on my home storage.
Nobody's perfect ...   I'll never try,
But I promise I'm worth it, if you just open up your eyes,
I don't need a second chance, I need a friend,
Someone who's gonna stand by me right there till the end,
If you want the best of my heart, you've just gotta see the good in me.

I don't currently make enough money to really collect anything, but I also collected cassettes and cassette players for a time. :)

I collect state shot glasses. I have almost every state, two of some.

I also collect knives/swords. I have an assortment that I've collected since I was 18.

I also enjoy collecting Native American Art.
