That sounds about right.
I feel as though I force myself to think of it as a business sometimes to rationalize my spending. Yesterday I bought an expensive card included with a lot. The card is arguably too "nice" for my current set, and figured to sell immediately to help pay for the rest of the purchase. In less than 4 hours the card found its permanent home on my display and now i have a payment plan for the card...its sweet though! Still not a business.
