As long as you have enough room and enough cash, what the heck !

 

 

Its a good philosophy...but I don't have the room, haha.

 

Acutally though, I had to buy it all to get the select items that I wanted...therefore I will be selling probably 80% of whats in the photos in the next few weeks.

Geez, to much of a good thing? :D I'd love to know what you do for work, you seem to have the budget of The National D-Day Museum in Louisiana. Save some stuff for the rest of us! ;)

Trust me fella's - the days of finding what Justin just found are coming to an end...

 

As for me, I just don't find "hoards" like this - I am not sure what the reason is..

 

Congrats - I'll be watching your posts in the for sale section...

I actually just sold a room full of stuff from uniforms and ribbons to bullion patches and wings that made up the remnants of my WW2 to Vietnam collection.

 

Luckily I had one buyer for it all.....but that single buyer was tough to find!

One of the drawbacks is gathering enough time and motivation to go through it all and take pictures! Its going to take me a few days, but its been fun so far.

LOL. That's my problem most of the time, I have to start documenting what I have, considering it's a full basement.

 

I'm jealous of your haul for sure. I keep thinking that if I hadn't gotten married...had kids....mortgage.....I, too could afford hauls like this!

 

Of course, I could have bought hauls like this when I was a young 20 something too....if I hadn't been busy drinkin and partying my way through my enlistments :)

 

Ah, well. I hope you have a good time Justin! Enjoy it while it lasts!
