    I love going around car boot sales and charity shops
    looking at what they have for sale. Most things i buy
    with the intention of re selling for a profit, i end up
    liking so much i cannot bare to part with them.

    All the best everyone
    AntiqueAndy.

    Welcome Andy! You love to go to car boot sales and charity shops....and we love people who go to car boot sales and charity shops, so this looks like a matrimonial match to me!

    And yeah, when you buy it cause you like it you ain't never gonna sell it...............Its a condition called HORDING and many here suffer from it................but not me of course......................

    Welcome, same thing happens to me a lot; I buy something with the intention of selling and find I suddenly am a collector of that particular item. Luckily I don't have enough money to buy too much.

    The WORST of that is when by happenstance you have two items of the same genre.....................say two teapots..............and then EVERYONE you know thinks you collect them and you are inundated with d@mned teapots that they saw in a thrift shop and just KNEW you had to have for your collection......................................

    I don't COLLECT anything................(aside from some doll's house furniture).................I inherit stuff.......and more stuff.......and more stuff............fortunately (!) everyone's dead now so no more stuff.................

    Funny, isn't that the truth!. Ontop of all the glassware I have I got bit by the Franciscan bug about 10 years ago (Apple/Ivy, 40's-50's) and haven't sold a piece ever. Also have 3 boxes full of October and Desert Rose in my spare closet. Guess I'll need a bigger coffin - LOL!

    You get my share, but welcome to the board anyway! I'm more of a jewelry hoarder, especially broken beaded necklaces; I swear I'll make nice new ones out of them...some day.
