@lm-entertainmentwrote:.. or what's that other word digi? hoarding?
I've actually been accused of verging on hoarder status, but the thing is, I have no particular attachment at all to the stuff, I'm just really lazy and let things accrue until I do a big cleanout. 
Plus, some stuff I have because other people seem to think I should be sentimental about it. (When I was young, a close relative passed and I was gifted all these things from their house people thought I'd like to hold on to. Op shop mix n' match crockery and cutlery - i.e. stuff they had no real sentimental attachment to either, just bought out of necessity, while books, albums, and such (the stuff I really would have liked) went goodness knows where. 😕
I'm nowhere near as bad as this person I used to know - they weren't just an "everything's collectible" person, but an "everything's useful if it's cheap enough" kind of person, too (they bought every kind of imaginable rubbish on clearance you can think of, especially if it was branded with a TV show in some way - a plain notepad? no need for that, but a RRP$5 notepad discounted to 20c and 'Home & Away" slapped on it? Score! They had a full set of their own teeth, but bought denture cleaning tablets because they had a clearance sticker on them, saying 'they'll come in handy one day'. Said tablets sat atop the fridge for years, unopened). I can laugh about it now, but I also had a full on argument with them once because I said that in a post-apocalyptic world, where people are just fighting for survival on a daily basis, Toranas (while a very nice car) would not retain their "collectible" value and still sell for tens of thousands of dollars, even in non-working condition. They maintained that Toranas will always be worth up to 90k, no matter what. I just...couldn't even 
We no longer speak. (True story, but that argument isn't the sole reason, though it's very nearly reason enough. ).
@sirsales. Cereal box collectibles are different, tho! I still have all the Lion King stuff that came with the Kellogs cornflakes back in the early 90's. I don't even like corn flakes, but I had to have the little Rafiki in the meditative pose, the yellow plastic spoon with Simba on the handle - that stuff will be worth a goldmine one day. Or, at least $10, anyway. 
(PS many thanks for the extra info 🙂 - sounds like whatever value they do have is kind of on the negligible side, particularly in terms of collectibility).
