I tell others that if I wanted everything I wanted in my collection I could get it done in less than a month throwing money at everything and be done with it (outside of some very rare things).
Part of the chase is waiting for my price, which also leaves open opportunities to overspend a bit for stuff that doesn't come around too often.
Given how many people spend years building a set/collection only to sell it and move onto something else, there's some respect due for the chase, itself.
