Are you addicted to LEGO?

How do you manage your lego obsession? I only got into lego about 6 months ago and I realize that I'm not a QFLL - I'm a lego hoarder! Despite the amount of lego that I have acquired, I see a good deal, and I just want to buy more. Thankfully I am not (and will never choose to) buy lego on debt. However, this clearly can be a pretty strong addiction. How do you manage it?

    When I first became a Lego investor, I was able to manage my addiction by buying off CL and then flipping the set for profit. It gave the the satisfaction of success and I got money in the process too.

    Start to do an exact inventory if you haven't already. It helps with selling, helps control buying, and most of all takes a lot of time you don't spend buying.

    Thanks for the suggestions!

     

    I think my husband thinks I'm a little too into Lego. It didn't help that when we were out, I mentioned that I thought a woman we saw had minifig hair :)

    I'm definitely addicted. Fortunately I'm an almost comically risk-averse person so that keeps a lid on my spending but I've still spent far more than I ever thought I would.  Some days I do wonder if I might be slightly insane.

    About the only hobby I enjoy more than Lego Investing is sports cars. And I only recently realized that my Lego collection would trade for a very nice Corvette. That thought has had me awake at nights.

    Research on kids with behavioral problems discusses iatrogenic effects (group treatment with other kids with behavioral problems can increase the problematic behavior). If this holds true for AFOLs, I should probably reduce my time on brickpicker. On the other hand, how can it be bad for you when it feels so good? :)
