What did you use it for? Why might someone be suspicious of Ebay’s popularity? Why might someone be in favor of it? |

Visit the World Collectors Net website. “They’ve Gotta Keep It” says that there is a difference between collectors and pack rats, and that “collectors usually specialize in one of a few classes of objects, which they organize, display, and even catalogue.” Have you known any collectors or pack rats personally? What are some other similarities and differences between these two types of people? Do you collect or save certain things? |
