You guys would be surprised. I've had this type of discussion with art dealers, fine wine auctioneers, and card dealers. They all have the same stories about how the most fanatic collectors...their best clients (the ones who live otherwise modestly but spend every dime on their obsession) are not the people you suspect. A few years back, the head of Christies Art Photography department told me the greatest private collection she ever saw belonged to a unionized tradesman, who was one of her best clients.

But I do agree that quite a few people don't associate tax-time with extra cash (I'm one of this latter group too.)

Cheers,
Blair
