Hysterical! Love the “oops, already have it” category... I thought I was the only one who did that from time to time. Feels like this is safe circle and we can share our misses (and hits). Thx for sharing

-duplicates from upgrading or "Oops, already have it" moments
-non-collection items acquired in lots with items from my want list
-items that no longer fit my various collections
It started out as an item here or there, then they filled a tote, then several more totes, etc. Now my assemblage of "non-collection" stuff is a big collection.
Eventually will sort through this non-collection and utilize BST and Ebay, etc. to thin it out. I don't think that makes me a dealer, but I can see how long term collectors can stumble into collector/dealer mode.
