The problem with tool collection is that it doesnt stay constant.
The larger items arent as readily available as the little guys. There are a lot of listings, but most are junk and not worth the shipping costs, so your purchases tend to slow down rather quickly. While I restrict my choices to a narrow timeframe, from 1880 to 1910, while not an everyday event, it is not that difficult to come up with excellent examples. When I say excellent, I mean examples that I wont mind using. I shoot for the high end of the User category. With these, I dont feel my neck when I have to sharpen a blade, shortening it up in the process, or see a scuff show up on the tote or something.
Eventually, you pretty much end up owning more series and sets that you will ever find a use for, so you raise your sites a little higher, and start to shoot for real specifics. Thats when the blissful life of tool collecting really starts to drag. The more specific your quests; the higher the prices. The higher the prices; the fussier you become. The fussier you become; the less choices you have. The less choices you have; the less you buy. The less you buy; the less number of buzzes you get. Its a bummer.
