      i have halfassed collections of a lot of things. i enjoy collecting things and all, but i generally dont put a ton of effort or money into it unless im currently really into it. i have a pretty good comic book collection though. i also have decent collections of vinyl records and coins but nothing to brag about, really.

        PP, you mean you dont really collect parots?
        I used to have a lot of parrots but had to sell most of them due to my health. Now, as a hobby, all I have are some breeding pairs of extremely rare parrots. When they have babies I sell them. For all of you that think I'm a just crazy bird dude..........3 babies = 1 NEW Jeep Grand Cherokee in value.


        you want to buy a baby Hyacinth Macaw?
        Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





        I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

          I used to passively collect coins by finding ones, I traveled a lot as a kid, and my parents traveled a lot too, so I asked them to bring coins. And my grandpa unloaded his stash of pre WW2 polish and Soviet coins, and just regular run of the mill soviet coins.

          Now I collect flags. I currently have a huge flag of Egypt on my wall, I bought it in Egypt in January. Have a few novelty ones like the anarcho-syndicalist flag, and Hamas (Palesinian resistance/ruling party in Gaza), I'm interested in getting a genuine soviet flag (have seen one of a union in an antiques market in Lithuania, but it was too pricey), and a Nazi party flag, and imperial Japan flag, Isle of Man flag, EZLN flag, Belarus flag, generally anything ideological or interesting looking.

            Flags are cool. I was collecting the small versions of the different Celtic flags for my daughter, but a few eluded me. I was getting them at festivals, but I never got Isle of Man, Brittany, Cornwall, or Galicia. Here's what I have...

            Irish provisional
            Irish
            Irish 4 province
            Irish Brigade American civil war
            Welsh
            Scottish cross
            Scottish rampant lion

                Also video games to an extent. Don't really go out and get older games, but I very rarely sell a game.

                I collect Simpsons DVD's if that counts!

                  I remember fondly the days when I tried collecting women. Had three going at once but never figured out how to get them all in the same bed. Huh.

                    I started collecting fine silver bars and rounds not too long ago, but its more of an investment than a collection. If/when the usd devalues and a can of snus costs $100+ in the usa, ill be set with bartering my silver for tobacco or anything really. Though if for some reason the price of silver tanks and the dollar doesnt devalue as much as I think it might, then I guess I made a poor investing desicion, but time will tell.

                    I also keep my empty snus cans in my closet and have a dresser drawer full of a bunch of different empty cigarette packs from when I used to smoke, also have a few empty bags of chew. I still have 3 sealed packs of salem black label thats now discontinued, but I doubt i'll ever smoke them.

                      I mainly collect DVDs, rare, obscure films from all over. Cult genre stuff. Then I collect CDs, and books. I bought this bodybuilding book by Dorain Yates back when it was published, and the other day, I see it on Amazon for $789.

                            The Mad Mags and the elephants are for sale since I'll be moving.
                            can you post some pics with the elephants?

                            do you also have small ones?

                              never took any pics of them. and.....

                              We already have them all packed up to move them south with us. Same thing with the Mad mags. After we get settled then we can take time to sell them on ebay or find a shop to put them in on consignment. By that time all I'll be healthy enough to do is sit on the computer anyway. ;(

                              but hey, I'll still be on snuson then so just remember after we move I can take photos if you are interested in some.
