Collectors: Has the internet effected the way you enjoy your hobby?Filed Under: Hobbies & Crafts
My mom collects a certain brand of antique china. Back in the day, it was pretty hard to find; she’d scour the antique malls and flea markets and be thrilled to find even one piece. It took her years to build her collection.
Now that everyone’s online, sites like ebay make it much easier to find. And with so many pieces available, the prices have dropped from what she used to pay in a shop. That’s a good thing, in a way… but it’s kinda taken the fun out of it. There’s no longer that “thrill of the hunt” that made her hobby so much fun.
