I was thinking about that after our discussion about collectibles.

To me, peace and quiet.

I am SO over "Things" and "Stuff".

[Group 5 minus 1]

Please.... This is a discussion about "stuff".

The only thing I can think of right now is REAL ESTATE

[Othereeeen]

Well excuuuuuuse me....I guess you missed my clarifier..."To me...."

I suppose if you meant what concrete "things' have value?

That will always be in the eye of the beholder, the collector, the curator, and of course, the hoarder.

My neighbor has a LOT of "valuable" stuff cluttering up his property.

I guess he's waiting for someone to need the one screw that holds something onto one of the 29  broken  lawn mowers sinking into the grass, instead of that person just going to Lowes to buy the screw, and letting people like ME not to have to look at his "valuable" collection of....JUNK.

When you live near a hoarder who's let his "valuables" spill into the public view, you recalibrate your idea of "valuable" pretty quick. It's a curse word to me.

Value or resale value? Two very different things.

Collectible items usually means resale value. Even diamonds have low resale value.

I agree with the previous post that real estate is the only thing that comes to mind as having such value; maybe gold as well.

I can't think of any "collectible" items that have any resale value That was never more than a selling gimmick.

I think real handmade Oriental rugs hold their value, they are timeless.
