10. I filled out my Atari 800 computer collection with buck or less stuff.

Haven't seen much Atari stuff for a long time, except I recently scored a working Atari 1200XL with basic cartridge for $5.00

I also have a huge box of Macintosh SE/30 stuff I bought for a dollar, which included a working SE/30.

My collection of $1.00 or less film cameras is embarrassingly large. Dozens? I'm afraid to count. I own pretty much every film camera I lusted after as a kid, including one identical to the first camera my parents bought me when I was ten years old, a little 127. I also have the first 35mm SLR I wanted so so badly for my high school photography class, a camera that neither me nor my parents could afford at the time, even though I'd "reasonably" set my sights on a Rollei rather than a Nikon.

None of this shit is really worth anything now but it makes me happy.
