Nope. I only get what I really want, and know it will hold value in time. In my case, french music/soundtracks, and action figures(I'm basically the guy who's getting everything he has ever wanted as a kid, but cannot get) Marvel, GI Joes, Transformers, TMNT, etc.

I was doing that for a while. Then someone broke in to my storage unit about two years ago and stole almost everything. The police did nothing because the guy on camera wasn't co-operating and even though the unit manager knew it was that guy because he had been recently evicted, the footage wasn't clear enough so they dropped the case due to "lack of evidence".

Lost out about $20k worth of stuff that I had been collecting since I was younger and only got $2k back from the storage unit company (the max payout). I considered looking in to suing the storage unit place first but apparently just like the police being under no obligation to protect you, a storage unit is under no obligation to protect your property and unless you can prove extreme negligence, you're likely to lose. Since then it's kind of put a damper on me wanting to collect anything. I mostly just buy video games and books now because I keep those at home.
