Exactly. I'm not knocking him for collecting them... it's just not something I'd want to do.

I spent a huge amount of money and invested hundreds of hours into a ceramic painting/collecting hobby several years ago. I purchased hummingbirds, and indian stuff and did all the handpainting and detailing myself. Now, I am cleaning out my house of most of it--except for what will fit into a couple of curio cabinets, because I hate to dust it all--and not dusting it would just make the allergies we have worse. It just makes me sick now to know that what I have possibly a few thousand dollars in, might bring $100 for the church thrift store when I donate the items.

The same could be said for my husband's aquarium hobby/business he's had for the last 20 years. Thousands of dollars invested, that he'll never recover now that he's ready to reduce the hobby down to one aquarium.
