Danny, I know what you mean. Last year at an airgun show, a good airgun collecting friend and myself were sadly discussing that one real drawback to having involved with this wonderful hobby for a number of years is that it sure becomes harder to really get fired up about finding (or seeing) anything new and exciting!Originally Posted by Garvin
All good suggestions. The top end and bottom end of our hobby are chalk and cheese.
I must say I miss the days when I could be thrilled at the acquisition of a little tinplate, but there seems to be some sort of 'mental inflation' process that means with age I am not satified with less than eg. something rare, preferably prewar, and in excellent condition.
Not that I can afford it, mind, but I'm definitely gettting increasingly more discriminating (ie. snobbish!) as I get older.
