Eric, there is a bit more to things as well.
I know lots of guys who blow all kinds of money playing golf, pool, drinking, horse racing, gambling etc etc. My lady knows where to find me and the bills are paid and groceries first on the table.
Secondly, it is guys like you who retreive all these treasures and protect them from the scrapper. One day you will loose interest, have to sell, want to fund other projects or plain realize you have too much stuff. For other collectors, this is how many guys end up with a project to work on or a place to source some much needed parts and or pieces.
I myself have run the gamunt, buying up a whole lot, building my project and then selling off the surplus to recoup funds or re-invest in another project.
