things you hoard...

[cfz2882]

any household items you seem to hoard? I've noticed I have a habit of hoarding these item in particular:
-rock&roll/pop cassettes
-"chuck taylor"shoes
-1980s delco cassette players

I have at least a year's supply of laundry detergent in the house.

Of course that may not seem as odd within the confines of AW as it does to the outside world, LOL.

Old airline brochures and professional models of aircraft I have flown. I also tend to hoard vintage stereo equipment and speakers.

Just in case of a Zombie Apocalypse, just think of all those dirty blood-n-guts clothes, you'll be ready!

Car parts. Sometimes the parts come attached to whole cars, lol.

Hoarding

Pretty much anything and everything.....

Mainly obsolescent/obsolete electrical/electronic testgear, also professional audio equipment. Huge amounts of spare electronic components (some of them still on boards/assemblies)

Current inventory includes 13 (at least, maybe more!!) oscilloscopes, 9 of them Tektronix (best 'scopes in the World)

All best

Even with Lots of A/C you can not have too many.....

Electric Fans,   I have some older vintage fans in the attic. But mostly hoard new ones that are pet friendly.  Between Labor Day and Halloween is the best time for clearance deals around here.  alr2903

Not exactly a huge hoard, but...

Four vintage KitchenAid food processors, made in Fance and heavier than a tank.
Cookbooks, vintage gardening books, history books.
Electric percolators (I have ten and use them according to my mood)
Russell Hobbs electric kettles, the traditional ones. One is in daily use and four are stored away for when this one goes belly-up.
Libbey Tawny Accent glasses - footed and unfooted.

I used to be over run with vacuum cleaners and Western Electric rotary dial telephones. Pared the vacuums beck to a small collection of what I like to use, and sold the phones on eBay, only keeping the three that are in use, here at the house.
Oh, I had a hoard of Panasonic dual cassette answering machines, too, but unloaded them on eBay before I moved from the city and went with a little digital gizmo.

There's also this to consider: There's a difference between collecting and hoarding. The line may be a fine one at times, but there's a difference. I have around 1,500 CDs, several hundred 45-rpm vinyl singles and maybe 500 vinyl albums. I consider that a collection, not hoarding.

On the other hand, if I had, say, 50 copies of T. Rex's Tanx album, that would probably put me in the neighborhood of hoarding.

Collection, Horde or Treasure Trove

Cookware, housewares, small electrical appliances etc.

Would a garage full of washers & dryers be considered "hording"???

 

Because somehow (not exactly sure how...) that's what I have.

Dish soap, bath soap, shower gels, under and swim wear.

u.s made towels

forgot to include U.S. made towels on the list;whenever I am at the salvation army or other thrift shops,i usually go through the towel stack and grab the ones that have a "made in usa"tag much nicer quality than most of the imports and "vintage"colors too!

 

[abcomatic]

Wringer washers, sets of dishes and silverware and organ pipes.

 

[davetranter]

'Scopes

Make that 10 Tektronix... I forgot the one at the workshop.

That's two 555s..... four 7623As.... one 7313.... one R7613.... one 7844.... one 7704. Is that hoarding?? I don't know. One of the 555s, the R7613 and the 7313 are for sale, so I am willing to part with things when necessary... ;-)
