Anywhere from $3000 for a running M35A2 Deuce-and-a-half needing brakes (in SC), or a non-runner needing an injector pump (in LA), up to $12k for one the owner thinks is gold plated. $4k-7K would be a good price for one that starts, drives, stops and is road worthy with title. I don't have any ready to sell at the moment.
I had bees for about 20 years until the mites wiped out all 15 hives. Never had the heart (nor time due to job travel demands at the time) to get back into them once the treatment regimes were established. Now I'm too old to lift the full supers

Besides antique firearms I collect old nautical stuff. I love those scuba regs. Where do you find the parts?
I always like to see what others like to hang on to "Collect"
I used to work with a guy named Roy He has a great Beer can collection. We eneded up at His brother Rodney's place. He says want to see my collection I just stated? As far as we knew all he "Collected used Aluminum Cans" of any kind. He got really drunk and had his wife drive around while he grabbed all the recycle bins off the streets.
As funny as this may sound, I collect pouches. I Mainly like the maxped edc and similar zipper type organizers. I have a bunch of them from all of the know makers, maxped, vanquest, condor, fox, mars, etc. and a few off brands too.
It started when I was attempting to make up a pocket carry edc for the few times I am well away from my usually places or vehicles. Nothing really seemed to work all that well (too bulky) so I began to re-purpose them for use in the glove-box as small item organizers.
Then I branched out and bought the larger versions and started making outdoor kits, tool kits, med kits, etc. Basically a bag inside of bag concept to keep the clutter down. A fun hobby, and it got me thinking in a more "prepper" way, not a bad thing at all.
I even use them as desk drawer organizers, just to catch the random stuff that ends up rolling around and getting lost.
I also have quite a collection of hook backed pouches for use in the various bags that have loop fields. And admin molle pouches, I like those as well. I guess it all stems from trying to organize my life, which is a moving target to say the least!

Me too . A lot more interesting than the U.S. stuff .
Bizarre, I do the same thing.
Started in the Army when I learned to sew out of necessity to make gear that worked for me.
Then I began doing alterations on the side for extra money (11B enlisted pay sucks.)
To this day I make pouches and bags for fun.
My wife thinks it’s nuts and she’s likely correct but she never complains when I repair or alter her clothing.
Oddly enough, I believe the Condor bags that are made in the US are a really good value for the money...
Collect?
I have a lot of misc...
Pocket knives,
Carbide headlamps,
Old Coleman lanterns (I’m an old coon hunter),
Sinker cypress,
Building my first black powder rifle Pedersoli .32 cal (squirrel gun).
And, not so much *collect* as just support:
One wife,
One old bluetick coonhound,
One rescue whippet and,
One 1982 Jeep cj7
- I do love them all - at 70yrs old, I am truly blessed!
May you all have a Wonderful Christmas!

As I tell my wife, I don’t collect but rather acquire...
I acquire motorcycles, red wines, wiskeys (rye is my fav), cigars, Coleman lanterns, firearms, ammo and a few other random odds and ends. Lately I’ve been too busy with work and kids to indulge in any of my collections.

Since about mid November.....I've been collecting fat. I've got it stored on the front of my body, just above my belt line.
I have some of that too. I have been collecting it a little longer.

I started collecting that too, also around November but in 1980. That was the time I learned to feed myself... I was a skinny baby, last time in my life...

I was thinking about trying a James bond themed collection. Right now I am going for the Connery era STDs.
Having 2 problems so far. Women that are bond girl quality will not give me the time of day, and I get slapped alot when asking if they have the desired disease...
