Got any other AD?

[bill mcdill]

Mine is Bulova Accutron watches. These are electric watches mostly from the 60s that use a tuning fork rather than a quartz movement. A self-limiting AD because these things are expensive to fix and they always need to be fixed. Anyone got an AD other than RAD, SCAD, SSAD, etc?

[SiBurning]

Three years ago it was portable stereo equipment. Two years ago, DVDs. Last year, soldering stations. This year, all things shaving. Looking forward to 2010.

[Cutter]

Harley parts. Currently drooling over an LED tombstone taillight.

[garyg]

Wow, didn't think there were any Accutron lovers around these days

[SpyvSpy]

I like Irish hats. Got quite a few by Hanna hats

[mdunn]

Beer, from around the world. Ive got 500+ bottles, all different

I went through a small hat AD last year, but it turns out that the fedora style hats I bought aren't really for me. I now see fountain pen ad coming on. I just got my first one last week (a Waterman Phileas). But it looked to nice to take to work so I ordered a Lamy Al-Star.

[RoyalKooparillo]

Fountain pens/calligraphy for me. And sports cars. And rock climbing.

I call mine MAD, Music Acquisition Disorder. No matter how many bands I listen to I can never have enough. I find the thrill of discovering new music exhilarating.

[Bertilak]

Books.

I like the Folio Society books, among others.

Unfortunately all are still packed in boxes after last move awaiting grandiose project of book shelves that will almost completely line the walls of one fairly large room.

Very good! Can't have too many books! (Folio Society are nice, aren't they?) I don't count books as my other AD as I try to sell 'em....

Latest is inexpensive automatic watches (with a couple of eco-drives and a Chinese mechanical thrown in)... damn. Shaving soap is cheaper!

[jwhite]

PAD and TAD, pipe and tobacco respectively. Particularly tobacco, my favorites are from the lakeland blending houses I just cant seem to get enough:biggrin:

[Thunderjugg]

guitars and motorcycles. at least i build/restore the bikes (ie make money back and then some). the guitars thing. well, i have 9 now, and have had 23 over the last 7 years. not counting stand up basses. (7)(at least with those they take up too much space to keep around too long)

I suffer from CAD (Clutter Acquisition Disorder), which is the major side affect of all Acquisition Disorders. While CAD is manageable it can't be cured because Acquisition Disorders morph from one type to another.

I can respect that! Some many diverse styles of music that you can never get enough. Although if you do manage to fill a terrabyte external hard drive with nothing but music, you might have a small problem.


My other AD is flashlights. It didn't start out as an AD but one day I woke with about 20 Mags in various configurations, add in a couple vintage Ray O Vacs, Eveready's and Fultons and you have a nice little start.

Ive got a special short stick for that corner though.

Did you empty them all by yourself?????

Watches, ouch that is a tough one. I could ring the neck of the fellow who got me started on watches.....One thing is for sure though. I am never late......:biggrin:

[mdunn]

Did you empty them all by yourself?????

Yes and no, mate. Ive drunk from each of the bottles, and most all by myself (but the bigger bottles and minikegs I had some help with)

Ive a 3L bottle of Chimay 2004 that ill have at the end of this year to celebrate my graduation, too :biggrin: (At 9%, i'll need a friend or two to help me with that bad boy)

[garyg]

Forgot a former AD, Classic Wilson Staff Golf Club Aquisition Disorder (CWSGCAD). 42 razors take up much less real estate than 42 sets of old Staffs .., .

[trumpetchris]

Cigars. I have well over 2,000.

[nemo]

Old Volkswagens
Fountain pens
Clocks

And the clutter disorder, oh my!

[Bob Dobbs]

For me, it's guitar effect pedals. Boutique, modified, vintage or anything that sounds cool! :biggrin:

[Nanook]

Good Lord.

DVDs/BDs: Over 600
CDs: About 500
Vinyl: About 400
Books: A bunch
^^ And I don't even consider those "collections." What's a house without music, books and movies?

Watches (mostly automatics): 15
Shoes: 15 pairs (a lot considering I had maybe 4 pairs about 2 years ago)
Old lighters (mostly Ronson Varaflames): over 20
Old vacuum coffee brewers: only 6 (space issue in kitchen)
Percussion instruments (congas, djembe, timbales, etc.): over 10

And the scary thing is, I'm kind of in a lull right now, so am due for a new thing...

[RBE17]

I did the car part thing for years, but it was mostly fueled by the same car. I'd buy, sell and buy and sell. It's winding down now and I'm glad to have most of the parts gone. It seems whatever I am most interested in at the moment is when I develop AD. Last year it was aquariums and parts. This spring it was pond equipment. Over the summer it's been another tractor and tractor parts. One thing I always try to acquire are guns. My wife and I collect shot glasses. Every time we visit a new city we buy a shot glass from there.

[mainaman]

Japanese Kitchen knives for me.
Finally got all the nice ones I wanted so from now on it's gonna be a lot less of a knife purchasing going on for me.

[T Rick]

Watches. Guns (aaand holsters to go with). Knives. Pens (mostly vintage Fountain pens, but a vintage and some 25 yr. old Jotters and a few Space Pens). Nat Nast shirts (my most recent besides shaving gear). And in the past is was guitars and vintage amplifies.

Some day, I hope I'll come down with MAD (money acquisition disorder). Might make all the other AD's go away (or more affordable anyway!).

[DS/B MCS]

Custom Knives, Watches, and Guns :cool:

[Jwolf24601]

I have never really collected anything. I have a lot of stuff though. But nothing in particular.

[Antique Hoosier]

Thankfully no. Traditional wetshaving and all that it entails covered quite enough AD ground for me over the last close to 3 years. I have pretty much eliminated all but what I use daily now though...several hundred items were tried before I came to this simplicity however. I discovered quite a bit about myself during the journey.

[M. McCord]

Custom Knives, Watches, and Guns :cool:

And people think RAD get expensive!

[Vulcanus]

Storage devices (hard & flash drives). I have had around 3TB between flash, and external hard drives.

[Florg]

Handguns/rifles and cigars. That about covers it.

[pal]

Vintage Watches and Fountain Pens.

If only they were the real thing...but these are cheaper. Good on gas, too :biggrin:

[D.Irving79]

arrow collars :yesnod:

[buddydog]

Hats and shoes.....

I have a friend who suffers from a truly unfortunate AD. He's on his fifth wife :frown:

Now that's funny right there......:lol:

[Scooterman]

AD???
Where do I start?
Motorcycles, RC Planes, Flashlights (LED mostly), tube stereo gear, hiking/backpacking gear, solar watches, fountain pens, and the latest: sharp toys and dead animal hair brushes!
Ain't life grand? (Still on original wife. Can't afford to upgrade.)
