[QUOTE="spoons, post: 494888, member: 33"] Good question Edd and good answers all. I’ve said it a few times that I do find the money spent on vintage obscene. We are for the most part in jobs with regular incomes and it’s too easy to spend £100s or more on toys, and I’m sure there have been a few past collectors that have got into big debt trying to collect too fast. I’m with Edd and totally agree that the ‘investment’ angle is a big factor and that if times get tough the toys can be sold. That can’t be said for spending the same cash on nights out or clothes. I reckon I’ve averaged around £25 a week on vintage since I’ve collected via the internet, which seems pretty reasonable for a hobby, but if I saved it it could mean a better car or fancier holidays. There are definitely times I’ve stretched money to buy what I want and I’ve never been one to save, but all in all there are a lot worse things to spend money on. Lucky to have an understanding other half and kids that aren’t into expensive things (yet). [/QUOTE]
