I find myself wondering as I search high and low for the illusive vintage puck of XYZ or find some old Avon Aftershave in a bottle somewhere. What if I actually win a bid, or find an old sought after vintage item, should I use it? Would using it be like opening a mint in the box action figure to try the Kung-Fu action grip? I know some will collect for nostalgia, others for the thrill of the hunt, others so they can use a product that "really" works AND of course I suppose some even collect for the potential financial benefit/investment value.
I have problems having stuff I don't intend to use...then again I have problems throwing out old stuff because "it may be worth something some day" Heck I recently sold a "vintage" alarm clock from my youth for more than $100, and to think my wife tried several times to throw it away or give it away at a garage sale (never again will she doubt me)
What do you do?
