Obsessive Collecting


- Impulse Issues 


A few peoples comments:


 He has made a large comment in response to some of the questions that he was getting. I found this quite useful, he talks about how he got into collecting and why. And the difference between being addicted to collecting and just collecting. 


"i think you were confusing passion with priory. not saying your message is wrong. im saying an addict cant be defined by how much he spends on knives. thing like money time or how much knives you have is a personal preference. some people are looking to milk his collection for investment of money, other love how the knives look and only want a handful of good ones. what makes an addict is say a person spend 500 dollars on a knife in place of a mortgage payment and during that time waiting for the knife to show up , is already browsing for next purchase."
