There ought to be an option: Well... maybe. You won't tell my WIFE, will you?

I have 'collected' things and my wife thinks it is just awful that I would want someone's trash. I don't quite see it as trash more like leftovers. I try to explain about the scarcity of the components and that 'I may need this someday' which just gets me a raised eyebrow and that look. When it's said and done we agree to disagree and she walks away shaking her head and I go play with my new toys!! So I guess I win.
