Do you collect anything?

I just got an email about a farmer in Northamptonshire who has built up a collection of almost 500 model tractors (his wife must be delighted). It's taken him 40 years and he reckons one of them is worth about £200.

I haven't collected anything since I was a kid, and even then it was only stickers, but are you mad on collecting anything - either farm-related or otherwise?

vintage farm machinery i collect.

then i put it to work

I collect bargains.

Later, I find out that they are not.

Mind you, to be fair to myself. On Saturday last, I bought a brand new, perfectly fitting Brook Tavener Sports Jacket from an antique shop in Malvern for £29. Yes. It was brand new. Pockets sewn up, spare buttons in a little plastic bag in the inner pocket. All labels still attached.

A few minutes later I saw exactly the same jacket in Brays Department Store opposite the antique shop for £218.

Now that's a bargain!

 I collect people. Family tree is my addiction. Got to get them all.

tesla, i am doing a farm tree, every one who has farmed this farm  in history.

i am back to around 1800

i collect among other things britians models, mainly 70s n 80s stuff. i recon i must have about ten mf 595s n about 5 mf combines, mostly come from ebay n range in cost from about a quid to about 35 quid for a realy mint massey combine, still in the box!

i also collect old massey impliments n litriture as well, basicly if its massey n over about 20 years old then im intrested

You can't beat a good collection of die-cast farm machinery ..
