- spijdar 6y agoI think there's some demand for this sort of thing. People definitely collect way weirder. I've dabbled in retrocomputing, and spend e.g. a couple hundred bucks on rare but totally useless hardware because I enjoy it. But there's wasting money on a hobby and, well, spending tens of thousands of dollars. The union on a Venn diagram of people with tens of thousands of dollars of disposable income who are fanatical collectors of obscure Disney VHS tapes and shop on Etsy has to be vanishingly small. :)
