Well, in all fairness, we were never in this hobby for the same reasons. Yours, from my observations, were firstly a profit driven motivation and more so a business than a hobby.
I came into it for purely the thrill of owning what I couldn't as a young man while reigniting my love of music. I added to that the enjoyment of restoration and learning about the historical significance of these items which is a bonus and equally satisfying.
Not implying one is better than the other, but I think a business perspective can start to feel like a burden.

Not a burden. Just having a job and 2 kids under 5 leaves little time to go hunting cl, pawn shops, estate sales and auctions looking for this stuff. Also once you amass a hoard you begin to realize a few things:
1- you have more gear and speakers that you can actually hook up and listen to.
2- there is tons and tons of this stuff and most of it is not rare at all.
3- then there is the realization it is much easier to buy this stuff then it is to sell. Not at fire sale prices that is.
4- lastly as we age buying heavy bulky equipment and speakers will make for some difficulties for our loved ones when we pass. I for one want to make that transition for others as easy as possible upon my departure. I will pair down to one system. My funeral is prepaid. And my silver collection is much easier to cash in.
But thats just this mans take. I hope that score gives you years on grins. Go get um.
