not an added expense but the emotional stress I paid,


Oh but it is an expense, there is a price to pay for the stress and it is called, paying your psychiatrist bills!

Yes. I didn't mention this but it is an add to the total end cost... stress.

"Is my collection secure?"... paranoia... I learned this when I worked at a book/movie/music type used bookstore. My movie collection was impressive but I couldn't help but worry someone would break in and pilfer it. A little more than 20 years ago I got rid of it all just for that reason of... stress!

I agree completely.



Ugh... okay you lot got me thinking again or, maybe it is just the pot, lol.

Buying, restoring and the subsequent selling of a vehicle, I do not believe, can be exactly considered a hobby.

Would the hobby not be, the restoration of a vehicle and the, buying and selling considered a, "Flip"?

Getting recognition in the form of financial payment for the passion one might have for restoring a vehicle would turn the "hobbyist" mechanic into a "professional", one-time, part-time or full-time flipper.

This would then be the case for hoarders of coin and currency if this were true... selling makes one no longer just an enthusiast.

Numismoneurosis.

It's treatable. Ask your doctor.

I was misdiagnosed with Exonumiaitus and have to wait for the drugs to expire in my system before attempting another round of experimental treatment!
