OK... if you collect anything... then post away... I'l start

Just like my threads... our collection is completely useless...

_________________________________________


We collect skoal tins and beer cans...

lol... we crush and save all our beer cans... why? so that when we graduate (if we graduate that is) we can count them and know how much we had drank...
We started this semester and we already have ~500 (not including bottles)

maybe we will scrap them all after school and get some $$$ back... lol

 

Sharks teeth. I got a few hundred of them. Plus gems from the tourist mines in NC mountains. Got a few hundred dollars worth of those.

 

i collect money. actually i do collect change. i got a huge change jar ive been savin for about 4 years. im no where near cashin it in. id like to have about 5 grand before i cash it in.

 

When I was young I collected Hot Wheels. I dont know how much they are now but I think they were like $0.87 or something like that then. I had close to 500 of them all in the packages and ended up selling them about 2 years later and sold about 90% of them which in the end totalled between $900-$1000. Not bad for spending less than $500 on some toys. The others are still packed up somewhere at my parents. I still have all my baseball cards and football cards from the mid 80s-early 90s in storage also. My Garbagepail Kids cards are somewhere also. I have a few hundred of those things.

So I guess I got off subj but I do not collect anything now. I did have a nice hobby of collecting debt a couple of years ago though.

 

i collect mustang parts and then install them on my car

 

I collect cigars







And I have another box and a few more sticks in my humi since these pics.

 

i collect girls... so i guess you can call me a pimp!

 

I don't collect ****...

 

nope.

nice cigar collection, could roll some nicce blunts with those

 

I have a half-*** shotglass collection, and plan to start a firearm collection within a few years. and I use to have a decent shell casing collection..not sure where all those went.

 

My Wife collects antique figurines and stuff. She's starting her online store today so I'll post a link when it's done. Lots of stuff for sale. Most in VGC if not flawless. She's a perfectionist when it comes to selling anything online. she has a 100% postive feedback on E-Bay items she has sold and bought. Check out her rating on e-bay. "shewbedo" The online store is gonna be called "shewbedos antiques and collectibles". It will be up in a few days hopefully. Got to get a minimum inventory of $1400.00, and she is almost there. Very nice web site and very easy to navigate.

Sorry to plug this but any business will be appreciated..

 

I collect hess trucks, have lots of those, have lots of hotwheels in the boxes too from maybe 3 years ago. I figure Ill sell them when I turn 30 and buy a new car or something

 

I collect Credit Card debt.....I am soo attached to my collection, can't seem to get rid of any of them.

 

LOL bad collection there Mike.

 

I used to collect Hess Trucks as well, actually my grandma gave them to me for christmas but not any more, i also used to collect hotwheels. I also collect Model cars Masito to be exact you can get them cheap @ Sams club

 

I use to collect US coins and stamps but now I collect Rod's n' Reel's
I have 34 of them att and I DO use ALL of them. here a pic of a few.

 

Kind of a "collection" by definition....actually have 3 1/2 of them, the other 1 and 1/2 are used for parts..10 mags or so.

Worse part is all they are are expensive Japanese toys..

Oh and an ammo collection for my M48 Mauser

Har har

 

Nice collection of BOOLetts.

 

One of which?

 

It's an airsoft gun

Metal/polymer replica that fires 6MM solid plastic BB's, muzzle velocity is around 315 feet per second (FPS) with the stock glock 19, they come with ugly orange paint on the front of them as it's reqired by US law for all toy guns, but that can be easily remedied with sand paper and new paint.
Those glocks, and mine, also do not have Glock trademarks on them, since the company that produces the gun did not authorize with Glock the use of trademarks on their airsoft pistols, they had to make a seperate version specifically for import sales in the US, but you can buy the versions with actual Glock trademarks straight from Japanese retailers, for more money of course.

The 2 I have pictured are far from how they came out of the box, one of them still has some orange left on it as I need something to remove the front site to continue the sanding, they both have upgrades up the *** and combined they're probably the same price as a real Glock 19..

Fun as hell to shoot though, best part is you can shoot your buddy with it and not go to jail, which isn't the case for a real gun.

It's a fun and expensive hobby, better than paintball IMO, only problem is that it gets a bad rep because stupid kids bring them to school and get shot by the police.

 

Yeah, there is the high quality airsoft, and the cheap knockoff stuff, usually you won't expect something of decent quality to be less than 100$ for a pistol, about 200$ for a rifle

 

Well you reall'y can't get much into the fun stuff with 50$, probably a spring pistol, which are weak and not satisfying. There's different sources of power for airsoft, manual cocking spring, gas, electric, the springers must be cocked each shot by the user to pull the piston and lock the air in the cylinder, gas guns use no springs or pistons and use gas that's contained in the magasine to proprel the bb, most gas pistols are blowback, in which after a shot is fired, some gas is used to push a "blowback chamber" back which makes the slide recoil up to fairly high speeds, and on it's way foward it will chamber and **** itself, those are the most fun, and most realistic. There's gas non-blowbakc which acts the same as a gas blow back (GBB), but the slide does not move back on each shot. Then there's an electric power source which is mostly found in the rifles, in which a battery powers a motor which spins some gears which pull back the piston and release it.

For 120-150$ you can get just about any decent quality metal GBB pistol (glock,beretta,sig sauer,USP, etc) with a decent amount of gas and ammo
The most practical and reliable GBB for that price range is probably what I have, the KWA Glock 19, metal slide and barrel, polymer frame, mostly metal internals (with exception of gas cylinder which is plastic), easy to field strip (like a real one), easy to clean and what not...
blurry, 4 year old picture of it field stripped
