      [QUOTE=nicodude;371836]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.

      If it gets that bad I will still have my guns. I honestly feel like guns are a currency that will never lose value. I can also get whatever I want. Say I have a gun and my neighbor has food, water, fuel and a generator but no gun. I now have a gun plus food, water, fuel and a generator.

        thats my stratigy. but remember to buy bullets.
        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.

          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.
          yes, thanks PP

          I'd like too see some figurines of elephants ... I love them ;-)

          we keep in touch :^)

              Guns and a shit ton of snus cans, I can never make myself throw those things away. It feels like I have some kind of emotional attachment to each can, I'm a hoarder!

                    I have a few collections. Stephen King books/ comics, and books in general. Video games, movies, vinyl records, glass pipes/bongs (more from days gone by, haven't added anything recently lol), recently started picking up some beer glasses, have 8-10 right now i think. Electronics, by that i mean i have a betamax, hd dvd player, classic video game consoles, etc. I inherited a decorative plate collection mostly star wars and star trek plates. I think that's about it. It may sound like a lot, but as of now, none of them are too expansive. The movie and book collections are the largest.

                              I collect class/school rings. Not sure how I even got into it, but I've been collecting them for about 15 years. Mostly antique ones, or interesting ones from schools I've attended, or rings with skull and crossbones. Most people aren't sentimental about them and are happy to part with them. They also show up in pawn shops by the dozens. Just have to get to them before they're melted down.
