Do you guys like to collect anything in your spare time? If so, what do you collect? How much money do you think you've spent on this hobby?
 
I collect video games, CD's/records, and manga. Kind of hard to say how much I spent, since I've had some of those for well over a decade. There's also a handful I bought before they skyrocketed in price on the second hand market. Some of my DS and PSP games jumped up thanks to COVID, so who knows how much longer those will last at those prices.
 
When I traveled with my mom and grandma I'd collect mugs with my name on it. Though I think I lost most through moves.
 
I mostly collect Harry Potter stuff (that shouldn't come at a surprise to anyone).

I've got a few books in my collection that are autographed.
 
When I was younger I collected quite a few different things including football trading cards, other gaming trading cards (Club Penguin mainly) and even these things called Go Go Crazy Bones. But I don't collect anything anymore.
 
When I was young, I used to collect a lot of ps2 games. Then it went to basketball cards during the middle school & high school days. Then it went to ps3/ps4 games (then stopped). -- total from these past experiences are probably well over $500 (some bought on sale, some bought on retail).

I recently started collecting some funko pop figures. I think over $100 I've spent now. oops. That's when I learned to collect the ones that I like & display. Its crazy how drink brands are releasing funko (hawaiian punch/slush puppie/kool aid/coca cola)

on another note, thanks for making this thread!
 
I understand. They're not for everyone. What I don't get is why they charge so much for them? I get that some may be autographed but why would you pay so much money for one that is not autographed?

They saw someone most likely screaming over one and saw huge $$ in their eyes.
 
Oh man, I can't go that extreme. I collect some funko that I like! haha!
I understand the rare stuff... but I can't see myself going through all that trouble... to some it may be worth it though.
