Let us know what you guys collect down below!
I collect movies, video games, models cars,sports card ,music CD's, regular books, comic books, and baseball caps. The reason I collect is because it's things I'm interested in and I always wanted to have a collection.
I started collecting Fully in the year of 2012 when I found star wars the original trilogy on vhs and that's my first introduction to movie collecting. Since then I've acquired about 235 movies I might have collected more than that since then. I was inspired to collect movies by various movie collectors Like @Cinemasickness @Movie Bug
Now when it comes to video games the only systems I collect for currently are as follows:
1. Ps2
2. Xbox360
3. NES Nintendo
4. Soon to come ( PS4)
5. Soon to come (PS3)
6. Nintendo wii
7. Xbox one
8. Super Nintendo
9. Soon to come ( Nintendo DS)
My first 2 video games I got into was Super Mario bros on the Super Nintendo and Enter the Matrix on PS2. Since then I've been on the hunt for each system I currently have and all of the games within them.
Video games, Magic cards, sports cards, firearms, books, too much actually.
I’ll collect almost anything. I might have a problem. Thanks for having me!
Subbed too u tendo :)
You do seem to have an abundance of collections. But, it that's what you like, I say go for it.
I was not expecting to see you pop up on the screen 😂😂
had a blast my friend!
@@AngelGarcia-wz8mt glad you did...he has a great channel
I believe the main difference between a hoarder and a collector is a collector will set limits to want they want.
that is a good point
The main difference is that a collector will treat their collectibles with R-E-S-P-E-C-T while a hoarder couldn't care less where or how their stuff is stacked up or what condition it ends up in as long as they have it somewhere...
I think collecting for me started out because of the nostalgia, but later on, moved over to an interest in video game history and the games and consoles I never got to play. And it's like you said Rick, it takes me back to a time of comfort.
For me, it’s the thrill of the hunt. I love finding a game or figure that I’ve been searching for to add to the collection. But also, I just enjoy being in my game room and thumbing through my games.
the thrill of the hunt is my favorite part!
I've got 176 Aladdin VHS copies, and why you may ask? Something to do haha. Am I a hoarder? maybe? But they're all on a movie store display rack in my movie room! I also like to buy items that no one else would have in their house for example I have a Pepsi machine. It's all good conversational pieces. Enjoyed the video guys keep up the great work!
I think the difference between a hoarder and collector is the organization. When you have to trudge through your collection to live, then you have a problem. That and not being to let go of stuff in order to make room for newer stuff.
Uh oh, I have to trudge through mine hahaha
I was gonna say organization too, but you beat me. Rick, if you think you have to trudge through your collections, you've never seen a hoarder's domicile... It's terrifying.
This is the answer, lol.
A collector will have things put away and curated. They are also almost always proud to show off and talk about their collections to others. They also can come to the realization that they may have to part with something that no longer has value to them as it once did to either get some money back or make way for something else that now has value.
A hoarder gains a compulsion for collecting any and all things for the sake of having it. Once they lose themselves to their mania for collecting, their home simply becomes a storage facility for their "hoard," and basic life tasks (such as walking around in their home) becomes difficult as their home becomes more and more disorganized, if not dangerous. They also have an extreme difficulty for giving up and parting ways with things that have little or zero value to them. These types usually end up reaching a crisis point and selling off their collections usually down the line, at least in video games.
A lot of hoarders have very specific organization to how they store their junk. Like, you can ask them for a specific thing and they will go through a half mile of single-person lanes between towering towers of junk and hand you that specific thing.
Most collectors will at least have a dedicated area to tastefully showcase their collections. Hoarders on the other hand accumulate items and keep them anywhere and everywhere, which could never be visually pleasing lol... I just have a few tiny collections consisting of PS4 video game steelbooks, video game art books and comic book paperback trades 🤙🏽
Very true, I am boarding hoarder 😂
The joy of finding games or items you remember and getting them at a good price. Shows movies cartoons toys n games bring the calm of childhood memories no worries or adult duties.
Heck yes, I love that!
There really is no one cooler or more level headed about all of this collecting/reselling vintage gaming stuff than Rick. He seems like the most genuinely nice and friendly dude ever. Really enjoyed this conversation format.
oh man, what a compliment...i really appreciate it!
I think people collect for nostalgia or just because it brings them joy and they like what they collect
i agree with you Alex!
No, it's a escape and denial of reality
Basically I collect my past. Any games, movies, or toys that I have positive memories with. It's the appeal of owning something tangible and part of another time you can almost live in again. Nostalgia strikes that bittersweet chord for me. I try to keep it in check though, and not hoard lol
There's so many reasons for this. Nostalgic is one of them. We like to have them around as a display because they're part of our childhood. We don't need to play them just having them around just remembering parts of our life. Same as video games most of them we don't play but having them physical in your gameroom is just better than digital because you own them and no internet need it. Pretty much what they called a hobby so if your family or partner support you what you love then that's awesome.
Completely agree, my wife puts up with my collecting hahaha
Excellent topic. I collect retro games for the same reason you said as you go into your game room. You hit a comfort zone and being able to pick up a random game that you haven't touched in years is so satisfying. Especially with how crazy our world is now.
Very Cool to see you both together...love both your channels.
I collect for the nostalgia and good memories of growing up. Like you, I'll play for a little bit here and there to decompress and to share with my kids what I grew up with.
Interesting topic!
I think that hoarding is also on the "eye of the beholder". Some of my friends and and relatives think I'm a hoarder bc I collect videogames and movies. They don't care that I have everything organized and nicely displayed. Whereas some think that it's the coolest thing they've ever seen and say that my collection and gameroom looks like a museum. Go figure 😅
I love videos like these on seeing other people’s reasons on why they love collecting. I love VHS collecting that’s what I’m collecting more of as of right now. But anything 80s and 90s VHS, toys, and games I collect I just love the nostalgia and emotion feeling I get from my childhood finding these things. Great video keep up the good work love your channel. 👍
The simple answer to why people collect is it's fun ...whereas other things in life are boring..paying taxes, paying rent, renewing your license, changing your oil ect..ect..I know because I'm a serious collector of toys, comics and trading cards (sport and non sport). Without collecting I don't think life would be too much fun honestly.
I think the difference between hoarding and collecting tending to the stuff, if that makes sense? A collection is well taken care of (for the most part, sometimes things get away from us), it’s in some kind of order or condition. When I think of a hoarder I think of a messy pile of stuff. Great discussion fellas. Thanks for putting it together
I completely understand how you feel Rick!! You get such strong feelings with things you grow up with! That’s why I do it!
I love that you guys spoke about it openly and explain it so many can have a better understanding about collecting but more about myself i consider myself an Extreme collector and i mainly see it as pieces of my childhood that really bring me joy and it like you express its an escape from everyday life
To me there is such an immense, true joy to found in the act of collecting. There is joy in learning all about that field youre interested in, joy in slowly building up an inventory of something, joy in going through all the stuff youre collecting, and so on. It gives me the drive to keep living
Great video! Loved the dialogue between you and Tendo. Thanks.
Love your TH-cam channel and I started collecting my old video games 6 years ago love playing with my 2 boys and teaching them about old school games you guys are amazing!!!!
Love seeing you two together. Please keep these going! ❤️🙏
Your collection and this TH-cam SLAP my dude. The nostalgia feelings I get from your channel are just the best. Also, from a different perspective, you're a historian of sorts if you really think about it.
Great video and great topic. I'm loving these mid week videos rick, keep it up (:
Thanks brother! They are fun to make!
Judging by the length, or lack there of, of Tendo's beard I am guessing this was filmed during his and Hanna's recent visit. Great stuff! Would love more of this kind of content for sure.
Ha definitely , we filmed a few together
was not looking at the screen when the video start then heard tendo voice and I was like... wait what!!! did he return there again, but then I check the screen I see the lack of beard and I'm like ok it's not recent lol.
I was thinking the same thing
The pure excitment in your voice is why we all collect things.
90s cartoons and comics are what im all about. Use to like records and old antquics ingeneral but since i had a kid i narrowed what i collect down to a lot of what retro rick here likes for the most part, im not into video games. Thats my wifes thing ha.
I collect knives, 1:64 diecast muscle cars, architecture & art books, photography stuff, mechanical pencils, caps, and other nostalgic items from my childhood.
I collect things that remind me of my childhood. Growing up, I had a big GI Joe collection. When I was 12, my parents decided that I didn't need them anymore. I collect GI Joe toys mainly. My video game collection is also a result in a way of my parents trying to make me grow up before I was ready to.
I often tell my wife that the video games and toys I buy are far less harmful than other things I could be buying.
I like collecting video games as well, but I also like to collect robot model kits like Gundam's and certain toys.
Love hearing yells thoughts on collecting. It's great to see tendo and hannah back in Arkansas again hope they find some great things to pick up while here.
For sure! This was actually shot a while back when they visited last
It comes down to, its every kids dream to have a room full of games and consoles, so when we reach adulthood and start having excess to adult money, we go make that dream come true that you had as a kid and go mad buying everything and anything we wanted but couldn't have as kids.
I collect so many things. Video games, Lego, Funko Pops, Lilo and stitch merchandise, Clothing, Trainers
I think as a Toy channel, I look at it like it’s part of my income nowadays. But before it was definitely about the nostalgia & just posing figures around Is so fun to me.
I totally agree! Thanks for checking out the vid!
Oh man. I love your place. I would never leave! So much nostalgia 💙 I collect games, Masters of the Universe and various other 80's toys. I also consider myself a high functioning horder. It does get to a point where you need to have the space you have and swap out stuff.
I collect consoles, video games (Nintendo, Playstation, some XBOX and soon Dreamcast), plushies (Pokémon, video game characters, Japanese mascot characters and Anime characters), anime movies, and anime figures. I collect because it brings me joy and I love to arrange things in a certain fashion. Video games are a big hobby of mine as well as art, so I see some piece of my collection as art pieces. One day, I’d like to have a big game room I can go to at the end of a long day to unwind and bring me comfort.
CD's - Vinyl - & Cassettes!! I love music especially the physical formats! I like to hold them, look at them, display them, hunt them out of prints down, listen to and experience them, and just know I own them for the rest of my days! I also love video games but I dont collect them anymore because my music hobby is too epensive alone. Great content guys!
Awesome video!! Glad I found this channel!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
I’m glad I found this channel. Great job.
life can be hard, I completely agree with collecting being a release from the daily stressors. That really goes for any hobby, it’s meant to bring you joy and be somewhat therapeutic. I enjoy a variety of things and always try new things sometimes I make up new hobbies😂
Retro Rick I came across your channel by TH-cam recommendation and I must say I relate to what you said 5:10-5:50 I have a few things from 90s and like you said you take me back to great simple times I been collecting 90s hot wheels and some of my favorite vhs movies from 80s & 90s and just thing’s I like from the past I love nostalgia things.
I am a huge "Battle of the Planets" fan. I loved that show as a kid. Small collection but selling on ebay to grow it. I'm a ripe young 52 and I love the content on your channel.
I love your channel. I collect retro games, 80's and 90's WWF VHS and Colorado sports teams memorabilia. I like collecting because I like playing video games and just like to have stuff to display.
I collect mostly videogames , but i have other collection ( Pokemon Cards , Action Figures , Comics , Vinyl Records ) i'm almost 53 years old , and collect because these things relive my immagination , when i play , i return as a child , when dayreaming to be the hero of my games. I don't have a game room because my house is small , but i don't bother. I not like labeling people for their behavior , i and others collect because we want to. Is not the object iitself , is the motivation behind. Collect and don't mind to seems strange or weird for other people , this is my mantra in the past and the future. 😁😁😁
Ha well said my friend!
@@retrorick 👍👍👍
I collect makeup, nail polish and a particular brand of pottery and even though the objects are very different from yours, everything you said was right on! The feelings and drive behind it for me are essentially the exact same. Also, there is nothing better than organizing and reorganizing, cleaning and dusting things off, etc. lol
I’m collecting video games ps2 ,PS4 & Nintendo Ds and I do get excited about video games etc thanks for sharing your video with me & it’s very interested question it’s bring my back to me ,my childhood life and thanks Retro Rick & Tendo 🙏🙏❤️❤️🔥🔥
Wow ! I Collect A Lot. CD's, VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, Sports / Non Sports Cards, Video Games, Coins, Shot Glasses, Stamps, Comic Books, Marbles etc....
Man I wish I had your collection Rick!! I'm 45 and remember starting with Atari then going to nintendo and I sold all my games about 9 years ago and I had some Rare games like megaman x3 and others and I just unloaded the whole lot.... Now i'm wishing I had not sold any of me stuff after watching your channel!!!
Nostalgia is definitely one of the biggest reasons I collect. I collect Video Games, Toy Figurines and action figures, Model and RC cars.
I have 3 kids and to be able to bring out a game or a toy I played with when I was a kid and play with them that's one of the greatest feelings ever.
I would love to have a full collection of Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams, not toy models the real things, one of every generation and model variant, but that would get expensive and I don't have the garage space for it. I do however own two Trans Ams now one is the "wife's" but its really mine also.
I think the number one line between hoarding and collecting is being able to know what you want to collect for certain reasons. If you collect something that is nostalgic to you and then finish it and find something else you used to like, thats collecting. If you constantly are finding "new" things to "collect".. when you have no reason, but you just find other "new" stuff to collect all the time, that is hoarding in my mind.
I consider my self a hot wheels, vinyl records, and music memorabilia collector. I started back in 2010.
Now I have realized that some of the things I collect are collecting dust. Why? Because I have to many. So as of last year I’ve toned it down. Covid helped haha but I still purchase the items I really will enjoy on a daily/weekly basis.
Definitely nostalgia! My memories of my past are hazy at best but my memories of playing video games back in the day stick out. It was a simpler time and I miss it, especially the 90s.
ha i get it...and then you see that one piece that brings you straight back!
I collect things that I like plain and simple be it vinyl, games, movies, or skateboards. I believe that the point of collecting vinyl, video games, and movies is to maintain and protect these pieces of art in my eyes.
i get it, collect what you love!
Why I collect things? I like things I like and owning things I grew up with. I am always getting more stuff every year. I also like discovering new things to own. A big reason I don't like most things done now. I like lots of things to enjoy.
Cool. I follow both of you guys on the Tube. I’m totally an 80’s 90’s fanatic. 👍🏾
Thank you so much for tuning in Rance!
Rick, thank you! I found your channel in August and immidiately started my game collection. My first go at a thrift store I found a NEAR mint copy of Mario 64 and Yoshi’s Island for $1 and a silver slim PS2 for $5. I then set aside about $300 instead of $10, which completely strained our budget and left us in fear for bills... But your guidance is proven true!!! I did the same thing you did but I hit those bigger bundles on Craigslist and Facebook. Our first 5 eBay sales made $550!! And there are $1000s of value left in consoles, games, and peripherals that are just for sale now! And now that $300 is just freakin’ snowballing to more value with each new purchase I make. I am using a 3:7 ratio to determine return on each item, IE: If I buy at $3, it must have value of AT LEAST $10, but obviously buy for less if you can. Big bundles blows this ratio out of the water!!! Aside from making money, I am keeping things I want. I now have PS1-4, Xbox original to One, EVERY Nintendo from NES to Switch, an awesome Intellivision collection, Sega Genesis and tons of CIB games for all of it! I don't even have room for all of this stuff! Today I found a SEALED Mario Kart Wii for $2 at Goodwill. Rick, seriously, thank you!
Awesome video as always!
Thank you my friend!
I grew up going to garage sales almost every weekend of the summer with my dad, so I think a lot of my collecting is a combo of that “thrill of the hunt” but also childhood memories of doing the same w/ my dad. I mostly collect Pokémon cards, video games, and artwork but I still love picking up random cool stuff that I think looks interesting. A few weeks ago I got a ceramic dish with the Hershey’s Kissables logo on it: they were mini candy-coated Hershey’s kisses that I feel like almost no one remembers but me because they were only around for a few years in the early 2000’s. But I loved them as well as the design of their logo so I had to have it.
I used to collect stuff too, and then I realized it wasn't making me happy and was taking time and focus away from things that actually did make me happy. I was doing it because to chase nostalgia, but that's unhealthy in the long run since it doesn't actually lead to happiness, it just leads to chasing more nostalgia every time the effect wears off. I think many collectors are doing the same thing or trying to satisfy some compulsion for having a complete collection of something. And I see some people who just want to collect something, as if having the collection isn't important, it's the act of collecting that brings them joy. And that's probably the short rush of finding something to add to the collection, which I has experienced many times. That rush isn't much better than chasing likes on social media. You may as well just be hooked to a machine that injects dopamine right into your brain because that's all it is.
Collecting lead me to realize some stuff about myself. I realized that I needed something deeper to satisfy me. That ended up being writing music and programming. So instead of working towards some sort of collection, my efforts go towards honing my own skills and knowledge. My efforts make me better, not my collection. And they even make me a lot of money, way more than owning rare video games ever could. Consider this, if your house burns down and your collection is completely destroyed, what have you really gained from collecting for all these years? You'd be right back to square one and view those years as having been wasted. Maybe you would rationalize it somehow, but it's hard to lie to yourself.
very interesting. Thanks for sharing
I enjoy the hunt more than anything. I have so many games I'll probably never play but it's fun to find games. Some of it is the nostalgia too. I never really could buy the systems and games I wanted when I was a kid. So, now as an adult, I just enjoy buying some of those things.
I collect video games and OG Thundercats figures.I collect games to catch up on what I missed growing up as my family wasn't bought video games.I went from Atari to N64 when I purchased said 64 myself.Nostalgia and thrill of the hunt are indeed reasons.Catalogging is definitely fun especially watching the changing of values
When my grandad died he left a rented storage unit, 2 houses, and 7 sheds full of stuff. We lit a bonfire and it burned for a week as we sorted through it all. At one point the fire got too big and took out the fence. We live in a throw away culture where all our hard efforts end up in the dump. I have saved good money not being so quick to throw things away, but when I die I aim to have saved more treasure rather than trash.
Having said that I'm going for a complete set on the Milton Bradley Microvision.
There is a satisfaction to completing a set. I think a lot of it personally is nostalgia i buy loads of games and toys from my childhood.
When you walk into my house you’re transported to the 50s/60s. The majority of furniture, paintings, decorations is vintage Mid Century Modern. I just love the aesthetics and built quality so I’m always on the look out for it. Then there’s my game/toy room and it’s my childhood from the 80s and 90s.
The big reason I collect is to have more of what I love man, I work like you so much but I truly love video games so old,new I collect them all
Very cool, I can relate!
🥳🥳🥳 appreciate the cameo! Collecting is so much fun. I’m a completionist at heart. But I have to set boundaries and rules
I legitimately just got back into collecting 1:24 NASCAR diecast cars. NASCAR was super present in my childhood and I've gotten back into it during COVID. It just feels good owning memorabilia associated with my favorite driver (Jeff Gordon) and driver I currently support (Matt Dibenedetto).
I don't collect anything but I wouldn't be weirded out by it (unless it's something really bizarre) and your collection looks good.
I don't collect anything. In fact I would consider myself a minimalist.
That said I watch ton of game collectors on youtube and I guess I live vicariously through you guys!
Heh, we collect so, so much stuff. We often remark that it's not hoarding as long as it all has a place--meaning so long as it's on a shelf... lol
It's pretty cool to see a Mythbuster collecting stuff.
Well Rick I think your really the one to blame for getting me back into collecting video games 😂. The $10 game collection has me trying to do the same thing, and it has worked out amazingly! Really its incredible the stuff you can find at thrift stores and such. Im very cheap when it comes to collecting, so doing it for free (or nearly so) has been a great alternative. Im Running out of space though because it's working a little too well! I have added 9 systems so far and who knows how many games. Keep it up man!
I collect my childhood. Toys, games, happy meal boxes, you name it.
i get it...so do I!
Looking clean tendo 👍🏽
I thought I was collecting because of the child hood thing but what I have realized is that collecting brings people together through UTube etc. collectors can make great friendships through the common interests of collecting and everybody is also learning from one another. Cheesy I know but that is what collecting means to me.Btw I collect retro gaming,Toys DVD and vhs movies!!!!😀🕹
It really does, such a great community we all have
I always go to stores like Savers or Consigment, and try to narrate in my head (to my subscriber of ONE) the way Rick does. I love this stuff, and being introduced to so many other cool guys that appreciate the same is awesome. I get nothing out of this, but I'll also add --- JOIN PATREON, Rick is my actual 1st and only that I do so with, and love it!!!!
I have over 400 games and I feel like a hoarder. So I'll probably end up paring what I have down, but it's always good to collect what you enjoy not what others do. I do have a lot of Wii, Wii U, games. I have some original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Saturn games.
Collectors also want to hold onto things a mass of other people like and want in hopes that they can profit from the items as they become even more coveted and scarce.
Collectors also do it so that they can share the amount of items that they have
Lol that’s one magical beard Tendo!
He is the man!
If you run out of room for your collection, and things start piling up on the floor, and there is no room to move or walk without causing possible injury, and it keeps getting worse, then you have a hoarding problem.
There's a Rocko's Modern Life game?? I need that in my life!
Retro Rick, Tendo, and Chase have my favorite channels 💚
I collect what I love I have games I grew up playing back in the day there's games and consoles that I've discovered and missed out on I'm a huge Mario fan I collect anything and everything Mario related trying to get every single game I have a majority of them so far
Great answer Rickey! Collect what you love
I collect tabeltop game tarot cards, high end headphones, headphone amps and t-shirts. Now I am working on my personal tattoo collection. The reason is I have an addictive personality. I get really into something and I want to know all about it. Watching channels like this make me live vicariously through the hunt without having to buy and spend things like this. For most of my adult life I was used to living out of a suitcase, so I didn't have the luxury of collecting things.
The differences between a collector and a hoarder are:
1. Collectors curate a collection and have ideas about what makes it complete. Hoarders collect with little or no discretion.
2. Collectors get rid of duplicate stock. Hoarder's don't.
3. Collectors are happy to talk about their collection. Hoarders generelly are more secretive for fear of coming across as being mentally ill.
4. Collectors will loan out items from their collection to the right people. Hoarders generally won't ever loan out for fear of losing it.
5. Collectors will set items in special places and spend time with presentation and storage. Hoarders often can be distracted and will store things but not for display.
6. When your collection negatively impact your life or mental well-being in a significant way, it's no longer collecting, it's hoarding.
I think it comes down order and structure when collecting, and not being in a confused state when hoarding.
At 2k games I am sitting near the crazy collector status. I like to have my collection for playing. I want anyone to walk in and be able to find that memory they want to relive. My gameroom is my chill out room and I love it. I collect because I love looking at the past and seeing what I remember and what I missed. It is a great hobby and I enjoy the hunt. There is nothing that can stop me.
i tend to think the same way!
I'm a very minimalist person. I could pack up and live in the forest tomorrow.
However, I do like my material items that I do have. A big reason for me is that I was a poor abused kid. I turned to drugs at 12 years old....now that I'm in recovery and actually living I want those things back that I sold. I want things that my parents stole for drugs etc....so every day I see my collection is another day that I know I'm clean. :)
Retro rick a collector, tendo a hoarder. That's the difference 😂
you are a hero for your recovery...seriously amazing! Im the same way...i didnt have much as a kid...its kind of fun to buy the things i wanted when i was younger now
@@retrorick you deserve it all :)
Thank you for your kind words.
Hey retro Rick, love the channel and all the retro goodies u have ,, have you heard of the supaboy s? It’s a handheld snes
My fav game of all time is EB I still have my original copy I bought from Walmart for 20$ ) no book tho ( lost it
Love the video! I love to collect video games the most. But i also collect manga, anime dvds, anime figures and some funko pop figures.
very cool....collect what you love!
Of the whole segment only word I caught is "rejuvenate". It's a trophy after a hards day work, I get why tough guys pick gardening as a hobby.... remember police academy high tower? 😂🎭
My first love was Micronauts that was what started me wanting lots of things.
I feel wierd sometimes but when I sit down and chill in my man cave with all my legend of Zelda statue and games I smile makes me feel super good. To me a hoarder is someone that can’t let go of anything that they collect and collect a bunch of items that they don’t even care about and has no value in your life.
I haven't gotten into any zelda stuff yet or even the games where should I start?
I tend to agree with you
The wii games are pretty affordable
Or a link to the past on SNES
@@Movie2022 I would start by Ocarina of time or a link to the past, the good part of Zelda games you can play witch ever at anytime because they all have there own story to tell in a unique way.
I collect video games (obviously) but also Nintendo power magazines and....spoons....I’m a chef and when I see a unique spoon with a certain shape or weight, I have to add it.
i love Nintendo power magazines but never seen them!
In my opinion, the difference between a hoarder vs collector, is that a collector usually has some sort of method to their madness (I.e Nostalgia, completions, thrill of the hunt), where as a hoarder usually doesn’t and collect anything and everything (rubbish like broken furniture, food scraps or even wrappers). I generally find that hoarders find it difficult to throw things away, where collectors can.
Please keep in mind that it’s a fine line between the two and sometimes things go beyond that to mental illnesses as well
Just my opinion
well said Dougie...that makes a lot of sense
Definitely set the limit , for me anything hockey / NHL VHS tape and GameCube related games items , the rest is really what I want !
The difference between a hoarder and a collector is that a hoarder will not sell off any extra games or extra systems. I am running that fine line between them. I have multiples of numerous systems and need to sell some. lol. I collect mostly video games. I have a couple thousand games. Also, I am 10 shy from a full Wii U collection.
I just came across your channel because I was searching for other collectors on youtubers, so that's how I found you guys and subscribed.
I have collection myself as well. I collect every single replica of Harry Potter. Anything that is a replica of something used in the films. But I also collect the books in different covers, might have 5 different covers but not all complete yet.
The why question is always very interesting and you not always know why and where the collections comes from, why do we do this ? Probably for me it has something to do with my childhood. I became a HP fan in 2001 when the first film came out. So as long as I keep collecting I don't have to move on from my past. HP was this place for me I could escape to. I wasn't very good at school, and I was bullied at high school. And Hp was something so I could forget real life issues.
I like collecting Mario and early turtles 🐢 I have 3 kids and never have money to get anything. Ur collection is amazing and it’s something some of us only dream about forreal it’s sweet.
me too! I feel fortunate to have it!
@@retrorick u are very fortunate to have it
I collect video games and comics, but I'm steering towards only ones based on franchises I like, but mostly I'm an action figure collector. I'm in my 30s and my decompress is usually sitting around and posing toys, if I have something kicking my butt that I gotta walk away from, I'll pose naruto fighting carnage of something, take a pic or two and put it on instagram, and one of my best friends is the same way. Good video, I def am a bit of a hoarder as I have some tubs stored that I pull out only when changing the shelves or trading/selling stuff off.
I collect Nintendo because I grew up playing it with all my friends and I collect the Turbografx-16 because it's the system I always wanted as a kid and now own one as an adult. Good times, good friends and video games.
