I was watching those shows, . . . you know the ones. And was looking at all the crazy peoples houses, and was thinking, am I and fellow toy collectors a hoarder/s? True most of us don't have that level of crap in our house, like news papers that really really really! need to go to the recycling center. But if I were to hazard a guess I'd say at least 80% of us have a ton of collectibles, stored somewhere in the house. True some of us have storage units, but then your collection isn't really appreciating in value, if you're paying 100 bucks a month to store your boxed stuff. But I guess what I'm asking is, how many of you guys/gals out there think you are at least a mild hoarder. On a scale of one to ten, I'd say I'm about a 5. My walk in closet is meant for clothes right?
Well, there are a few articles of clothing in it per say, lol. |

I'm a 20%-er, by the standards of this thread. I'd say I was about a 2 on your scale.There was a time when I bought up every little thing that had an appealing label on it, but those days are gone. I have a walk-in closet in two rooms, but only one of them have any toys in it, and in that one there are only a few well-organized bins that have toys in them.
So, no, I'm not a hoarder. I might be a 5 on your scale if it were actually meant to address clothes, but since we're talking toys here it doesn't apply. Good question, though. |

I don't consider myself a hoarder. Those people are disorganized. I keep all my figures neeatly stacked between a pile of polyester pants from the 70s and old animal carcasses .

I think most "collectors" are hoarders. Its all the same thing really. Whats the difference if its thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of toys or "junk". The hoarding shows show people who have what most here would consider junk. Just because you pay a ton of money and "display" your "collection" in an orderly fassion, doesnt mean youre not a hoarder. Just my opinion though.

I wouldn't say I'm a hoarder. I collect certain things, but that's not obssesively hoarding things away because I feel a compunction to. I collect toys because it's fun, it's my hobby.
Hoarding to me is what my nan did; when she died, we found 4 wardrobe's worth of stuff that didn't even have the store tags removed, and had never been worn. |
