I've read on several occasions how collectors are willing to "stretch" or pay more because a piece is hard to come by. So is the opposite true? If you happen to find a lot of what you like, in a short span of time, does it dampen things, making you more picky or causing you to start losing interest in something? I'm thinking marginal decline in utility here. I've been curious for several years now whether the Internet (where the world is your shopping cart instead of the monthy recycled coins are us show) may become as much a hinderence to hobby growth as it is tool for growth. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/lawofdiminishingutility.asp
