<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 739651, member: 4552"]Your only looking at one type of hobby you know. There are numerous hobbies that cost more, take up more time, are a lot more dangerous, take up more room than silly, liitle pieces of metal. </p><p>If you were into guns for instances as a hobby you could have reloading machinery that requires stock piles of explosive materials in your home. And too many guns cost a real lot of money and require constant care, cleaning, oiling and then shooting and starting the cleaning and oiling all over again. </p><p>I've known people that fly model planes. One guy I know spends thousands of dollars on them and then they crash. POOF, there goes some money. Now look at the people that spend thousands on a paint job for an old car. Now afraid to take it out in the rain. I know a guy that collects swords and knives. His house looks like a museum of cutlery and he is afraid to let people see this due to a possible robbery. And we think coin collectors are nutty?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
