I agree with the author, except I have had alot of enjoyment out of many aquisitions. It has addictive qualities, but I believe the worst is behind me.

Recently I have moved, and I had to move my collection as well. The best thing about this is, I was highly motivated to build a proper display. I went to ikea and bought 4x shelving units. I now have good setup. The previous one was good also, except alot of stuff was ending up in the wardrobe.

I to was feeling bad, but downsizing was the way to go. I have sold at least 100 this year, also I donated at least a dozen to the wishing tree appeal at Kmart.Some of the stuff is from 6 years ago, and clearance items. It would seem that my impulse buying kicks in whenever retail outlets have items on clearance. Thankfully I wasn't tempted to go on a binge and buy up all the kreo sets at toyworld when they were on special....

Its not really so much like drug addiction, I would compare it more to buying to much fast food and junk food, while neglecting to eat healthy.
