When will you overpay?

[JasonL]

I overpay for most everything, or so it usually appears.
I know this because:
1) I don't usually recoup what I paid on the occasions that I sell
2) The money is probably oftentimes better spent or saved elsewhere
3) If I don't participate, the prices for the item are often lower
4) When I buy something I am usually in my "rather impatient consumer mode."

However!

I love my collection, and I take great pride (misguided or not) in my perception that the collection is worth more than the sum of its parts.
