Recently, idk what's gotten into me, but I've been looking to buy and preserve older tech.
For example, boomboxes (nostalgic, i remember my mum blasting what we would call city pop on it), CRT tvs, old gaming consoles (like NES which i don't even play but i like having a piece of history).
I am worried that I am developing a kind of hoarding habit.
I'm not sure what exactly separates a hoarder and a collector.
Where do you guys feel is the line? Is buying a USD 20 NES console senseless if i'm not playing it?
