hoarding is a sickness. There was a guy near here that would buy all the tools he could from the classifieds and CL and then throw them into his yard. I guess he was a well-off hoarder. People in this area seem to over-value their tools anyway, but I have often wondered if they didn't just price them for that guy. There are all sorts of reasons I might not sell something I own. Generally, anything i want to get rid of is given away already.

Now that I posted this story, I remembered that the tool hoarder would then proceed to list the tools for sale. That's how I found out that he had them stored in the yard, which in this area is just destining the tools to the scrap metal dealer. He would never budge on his prices either.
