    Right now I'm collecting unemployment checks but their long term value sucks. I collect crystal balls and art deco bases for them. I have a large flawless (no air bubbles) Baccarat crystal ball that is worth quite a bit and several other smaller ones. I also collect art, stone litho prints from Barbara Rogers and Tesla coil glass paintings by David Archer. I have a collection of my own art work but most of the really good pieces I sold to buy drugs for You Know (Robert). I have also collected a few good friends but their value can only be appreciated by myself and their mothers.

    Department 56 pieces, vintage weebles, Delft Plates, teenie beanie babies (McD's) and vintage toys.

    Most of the things I find, clean up, and re-sell on Ebay. (just a hobby)

    Vases! Don't ask me why! They can range from very $$$$$$$$ to 0$ at a garage sale.

    Rugs, books, and omg.......cushions. I mean....poor visitors can hardly sit down until they have made their way through a barage of pure fluff!!

    You asked Ashi!!!

    Suppose I look like a real "nutter" now!

    Coolness, guys. I have the Brian Froud "The Dark Crystal" book from 1982, which runs a few hundred dollars. Beautiful book.

    I have a 1925 first edition copy of Khalil Gibran's, Jesus. Very very cool.

    Lots of mint condition Star Wars stuff, still in original wrappers, First Edition Copies of The Little Prince. Great stuff, although most of it isn't very valuble. Just worth a lot to me.

    And that meteorite!! How cool is that?

    Jerry, I'm at 115 DVD's, some very cool editions, but quite costly. Just got Dr. Zhivago, which is a breathtaking transfer....makes the VHS look like cow shite on paper.

    Ana, I like fluffy cushions...

    DUNG!!! Are you selling any Bacci stuff?

    Hey outnfree, I have a set of dishes that was my family service when I was a child, that I have added to, thanks to eBay, and now can serve 25, so "Yes", it helped with Thanksgiving, to have that set, since I had a small MOB for dinner that day.

    I also collect computer parts (build my own) and well.. computer How-To magazines - got a few years worth of those

    seems I am starting a collection of computers now - 4 in the house at this moment and #5 coming tomorrow
