How Many Times Have You Re-purchased the Same Prop?

This says it all for me.

I love the anti-matter scheme, and the last photo is legendary. :thumbsup

So I'm about to blow like a grand on lightsabers I've already had...does anyone else spend irresponsibly and/or suspect that their urge to collect might actually be some kind of illness?

 

[Sumatra]

That about sums me up.

I go through phases with everything in life. I get really into something, then a few weeks to a couple months later, I'm not interested in the least. Sell stuff to fund the new interest. This repeast for a little while, then I find I'm back to the hobby/interest I started with. I think it's a combination ADD and OCD.

Enough said...:lol

Is upgrading considered "re-purchasing"?

Normally if I upgrade a prop, I sell off the older version.

I would not consider it 're-purchasing' if you upgrade and sell the older version.

But I keep the old and the upgrade and I do consider that 're-purchasing'.

I agree with Kevin. For example I have an Indy Magnoli grail cup I got from him years ago. I recently purchased another cup from a different maker. It's very nice, so now I'll display both cups. On the other hand, I've purchased a few Indy headpieces over the years until I found one that I considered the best. The old ones were either traded or sold.

I've bought and sold over 40 APH-6(A,B,C) flight helmets, either for collection or for conversion to X-wing helmet :lol and still going strong (just bought two more recently).

Just bought my THIRD Qui-gon LE. Sigh...gorram ebay.

Yeah, I've got... um... "more than one" Sonic Screwdriver....
- One for my "Display of Screwdrivers"
- One for my 5" display
- One for my 12" display
- One I carry around in my pocket (um... because it's a pen... yeah...)
- Two in my desk drawer (spares?)
(Also, this is not counting the ones I've bought for friends)

The sad thing is I really don't know WHY I have so many. I can justify two (the pocket one and the "Display of Screwdrivers one"). I also picked up two of the Master's Laser Screwdriver with the intention of giving one to a friend but decided to keep it at the last minute.

The only other replica I have multiple of is Darth Vadar's Lightsaber. I've got the one with the solid red (non-lighting) blade (the toy), the one with the "Force Effects" or what ever that makes the sound and glows, and the Master Replicas. I can justify that because Vadar is a bad-ass!
