I did read an article the other day that a record reseller bought a house where a hoarder had stored 250,000 vinyl records, liquidated the hoard then (presumably after repairing the structural damage) sold the house...

Extreme hoarders... compact discs... when it comes and if it's a fretboarder then I'll watch...

I watched the show once, where the guy clearly needed help with his mental health, owned four houses in a village all full of crap and lived a miserable life eating beans cooked on a camping stove in a room full of dry paper, so waiting to be immolated basically.  I felt incredibly sorry for him and it was all very sad, so never watched again.

Apparently one person hoarded and ate their own poop, so they at least did one to make anyone with forty years worth of magazines feel a bit normal...

I make plastic model kits for shows and stuff. The pres of our model club died a couple of years ago and his wife asked if we could dispose of the unmade models he had in the garage. He had over three and a half thousand (if you bought them new around 90-100K's worth) and a sign up saying 'He who dies with the most models wins.'

Definitely earns a "wow".

A hobby where it's very easy to buy at a rate where you will never stand even half a chance of building them all.

I used to build a lot of Airfix as a kid, I miss the feeling of the kits coming together, particularly the bigger aircraft, built a Lancaster, B-17 etc.

A bit like me and my Blu-ray collection...

My bro used to make lots of Airfix kits when we were kids. He did a great job on painting them and adding 'extras' as well. Anyway, there was this one time he decided it was time to dump a pile of the older ones as he just had too many around. He put them in this big paper sack and we drove up to the local tip with my dad. This was in the 70s, so no tidy tip, it was literally big 'hills' of junk, you just turned up and threw your stuff somewhere!

Back in those days, many 'poor' kids and teens would be clambering around scavenging stuff. My bro emptied his sack and a bunch of kids descended. It was so satisfying as we drove off seeing the kids all grabbing handfuls of models, running around flying the planes etc. I think it was a bit like Christmas for them!
