Schmitler Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I collect bicycles, mostly old-school bmx bikes. I thoroughly enjoy working on them; and of course, riding them. In the early days of bmx, bicycle manufacturers were constantly experimenting with new designs. These creative designs are what intrigue me. As of late, bmx bikes haven't been evolving much.

boink666 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I have a rock collection. Some of the rarer rocks that I have are tetrahedral pyrite, meteorite, diamond and uranophane (radioactive). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Anras Rune Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I collect quite a few things. I collect things like pins, cards (vintage poker cards mostly), bottle caps (i'd be rich if fallout was real...lol) and rocks. I used to have a really big rock collection with all sorts like uncut sapphires, a natural ruby, some rough aquamarines and the works. But they went missing a while ago after some "friends" of ours did some work on the house. Decided to restart it however and so far got quite a few.I've also been looking into collecting coins. My mum left me a silver dollar and a couple of old shillings, so the idea has crossed my mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even no where they are. As for coins I say go for it with the price of most medals on the rise its worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

† Emotional Outlet Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I don't really collect anything, except maybe digital art on my computer. The things I would want to collect (notebooks, cats, wigs, dancing termites) cost money I don't have, haha. When I'm a millionaire.living with family so u dont have to pay ur own bills, share/rent, and laundryWhere do you live? Maryland is a bit pricey--let me rephrase that to "areas of Maryland where the wheels on your car won't be stolen/where you won't get stabbed"--if you're living alone and on a tight budget, but other parts of the US aren't so bad. Even on a less than stellar enlisted military paycheque, people manage to support at least one other person on a single income.Also, if you lose too much weight, your clothes won't fit anymore! Unless you were already super skinny to begin with, then disregard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Mute point Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I collect books.. but not like "OMG It's a rare book!" type collecting. I collect books I like to read. Collection isn't worth a whole lot... but I've got some awesome stuff. Anyone remember the Animorphs books? I'm only missing 3. What about the children's series "The Boxcar children"? I have all of those. Not to mention enough Sci fi and fantasy to cover every inch of shelf space currently available in the house.And if you count my e-book collection... If those were in physical form I'd need a much bigger place to store them all.I also have a small crystal collection. Again, not valuable since much of it is common quartz.. but it makes pretty colors on my wall in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atreyuavenged Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I work at a recycling plant, so I've collected a few things in the odd year or so I've worked there. Mostly Comics, Mangas, Books, Game Cards (Pokemon, Yugioh, Magic, etc.). I only keep stuff in good condition though, no use taking home a torn up Bleach Manga, or something.

Reptoholic Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm not sure if you would call it collecting as much investing, but I collect/invest/buy many Guns. I have been shooting since I was young, and my dad always encouraged me to get higher end guns that will go up or hold their value in the future. Since I have been doing this for a long time and I have a nose for a good deal, I have myself a nice little arsenal. I really do enjoy them, I prefer H&K's but there are many I like. My preferred caliber is a 45 acp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
