I can read just fine - but unlike you, I don't assume someone is "insane" for collecting old things - for whatever reason. Seems - with your reasoning, I am insane, as is my wife, and are - I guess many who use this forum and collect antique tractors.

I was at an tractor auction last month, and besides tractors, there were two old, crappy looking GE montitor-top refrigerators. Each brought over $500 and there were many bids - all crazy people I guess.

I will also add, that some people collect older stuff just they like the way it looks, feels to have around, etc. If they can afford it, what's insane about that? But, let me add, that some older things -including cars, trucks, tractors, cook stoves - and yes - even old refrigerators - sometimes work pretty well for certain things.

Seems - at times - use of word "insane" is a bit relative. To me, buying a new car or truck for over $40,000 would be an insanse thing for me to do - but I don't give a d*man one way, or the other who else does it. Those that do so, with no money and choose to go into hock ?? Well, some might think that's nuttier than buying an old frig.
