Default Why do we collect?

Posted By: jay behrens

If you use the hunter/gatherer theory, then there should be more female collectors than male. The men generally were the hunters while the women were the gatherers.

I liken myself to a magpie, if it's shiney or purty I pick it up and keep it. I've gotten better at focusing my collecting. Garage and estate sales are bad news for me because there are always so many neat things I want to take home with me. I guess being poor helps you focus more.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home, I would be arrested. So, I go to baseball games and fit right in.
