I've been guilty of posting my "Weekend's Haul" a couple of times.
I
like to know what other people find and what the are paying for it.
Kind of a reality check against what I find around Dallas-Ft Worth. If
somebody gets something I really want, I might write them and see if
they want to trade or if it's really something they really want. I
sometimes pickup something that I don't collect so I can help someone
else out or trade for something I really want or "need". :-)
I'm sorry if this offend someone, but I like to know who comes across
unique hardware and even if I envy them, I'm also proud for them.
As for the philosophy wars, if I don't really care about the "soul or
zen" of computing, I don't have to read those posts....that is what a
"delete" button is for!
I also get a little perturbed when people state "This Weekends
Haul".
I really don't have the time or inclination
to read about all the
neat
stuff I DID NOT get. I understand the joy and
amazement of those of

I, for one, enjoy reading about what other people pick up. For one
thing, it is nice to see what pricing other people are paying and it
helps put perspective on other freebee's/purchases I may get in the
future. It also gives a feeling for what computers/stuff is available
out there. These "Weekend Haul" reports give a LOT of good
information
and insight other than just "look at the neat stuff I picked up."
Isn't
this what collecting is all about?
