Do you use anything that someone else would consider a collectible and would never use? (hilariouschaos.com)

Just thinking about collector’s cups like limited edition Super Bowl memorabilia or whatever.

I realize that I prefer to use them rather than keep them pristine. I have a Chiefs winner shirt an ex gave me and I just wear it despite her saying it’d probably be worth something someday lol

I have some Star Wars Action Fleet ships that a girlfriend gave me for Christmas almost 30 years ago. They sit on my computer desk and I mess with them, moving landing gear and weapons around, when I'm really bored.

I have no idea what they are worth. Probably not much. Wouldn't care if they were. I like playing with my toys even though I'm almost 50. :D

[–] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 2 points 10 minutes ago (1 children)

I hope I’m like you when I’m that age too! Toys are meant for playing with. Don’t forget the sound effects next time! lol

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 1 points 24 seconds ago

Hell yeah. Getting older doesn't mean you have to lose your youthfulness. It's more a state of mind!

My father in law died several years ago,

He made some very strong and very fine liquor, once every year. I still have half a bottle of the good stuff, and now I don't dare to drink it up.

[–] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 11 minutes ago

That’s a tough one. I’m sure he’d love you to enjoy every last drop, but when it’s gone, it’ll be gone.

Technics sl1200 turntables with Shure white label carts which I think are discontinued.

Seems sad to not use them.

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 43 minutes ago

Oh man, I would LOVE to have a pair of 1200s or 1210s.

I have a blanket from my grandparents that is fairly old and we use it on the couch. Better than it sitting in storage imo.

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

I drink all the fancy bourbon I can buy (near MSRP). Never once thought about selling a bottle. Even pour an ounce of them into my infinity bottle (yes, there is/was a few ounces of pappy in there).

The only bottles I didn't open immediately for a sample when I got them home are the ones I got signed in person by Jimmy Russell (Wild Turkey, Rare Breed) and Victoria Butler (Uncle Nearest Master Blend).

Taters can lick my taint.

I play my Wii U, the only console that was ever fully mine.

My Sony cassette Walkman. But maybe not because it doesnt have the original shell.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

I recently got a Walkman myself and it’s great! Which model do you have?
