A hoarder, yep am one of those of which I am trying to learn not to be as my place is too small for the amount of might need it in future type stuff. But of those that hoard, a lot of them are people that have lost everything at some point in their life, it is quite common and can manifest itself as a mental illness, so the person that had cat crap all over the place is obviously ill, and it is very easy to get that way when a person is ill, so they need help, not shooting.
The only thing I am not getting rid of is my scrap metal collections, I have about 2 pounds of silver scrap, which at some point I will refine and cast into pure silver ingots and have it assayed and I have a few kilos of copper of which I will do the same with at some point, the point being as paper money becomes increasingly worthless, precious metals is where it is at.
Anyone noticed the copper coinage we have is being replaced with copper coins one can pick up with a magnet, for sure the mint knows full well copper is set to rise in price to the point it might be worth more the monetary value and it is just not British to have something worth the monetary value.
But bike bits, yeah, they are getting hoarded, mind I had a purge a while back and gave some stuff away, which I am again searching for, all that because I am trying to get out of hoarding as this place being so small gets messy fast.
