One of my "things" is knives... Only a few of what I have... that is if my kids have "barrowed" them...
Top to Bottom: Cold Steel Voyager Tanto (39 months in Iraq), Buck Stockman (I have three of these because I like them that much), Kershaw Leek (2 of these), Buck Solo & CRKT Dragon
Phil" not a knife collector nut I have a leek and a scallion half serrated. Nice knives. The leek is nearly the perfect pocket knife.
For me it's games.
Chess boards,
Cribbage boards,
Darts & boards,
BB's in a box games,
Puzzles,
All those ADHD kinda mind teasers.
This is 1500 piece black and white puzzle of four part chamber music.
With a Buck Stockman and Vise Grips you can fix everything but our government .

I didn’t think I was going to like the Leek, it was an e-Bay buy and I had no Idea how it felt in the hand… I sure do like it now; I never leave home without it!
I believe that everyone (at least men) should have four things to carry on in life...
1. A Good Knife-To kill food with
2. A Zippo Lighter-To cook food with
3. A Favorite Pipe w/Tobacco-To smoke after dinner
4. A Bucket of COMMON SENCE!-To reason with the unreasonable…

Yes in deed Lawrence... F*%K it! Make sure you wrap it up!
I used to collect guitars. Didn't really play them. Just liked the way they looked. At one point I had over 20 Fenders and Gibsons. Today I only have two. A black Fender strat and a cherry red Les Paul.
I collect baseball cards, lots and lots of baseball cards.
Humidors :
No moss. Not on this rolling stone.
Comic Books
Since retiring in December, 2008, I've mamaged to collect about 40 lbs and 7 inches around my waist. Does that count?

Art, I think I have a few family members in jars like that...
LOL!!! I actually missed getting two of my favorites in the shot!
Empty tobacco tins. Must have over a hundred.
old razors, all of them prior to 1965. and i use them, my current favorite DE is over 100 years old.
shaving mugs, over 50 of em.
old people, they make me feel young.
My wife hates me for this but this is my computer room.
Damn guys... now I've got to find something that I want to collect. I don't know why I don't maybe it's because we have moved so many times with my career and moving everything we have is a big enough pain. Hmmm I'll come up with something... motorcycles... nope she'll never let that happen. I come up with something.

Surf, I guess you like to fish? 
HAHAH yea I'm a 4th generation fisher. about 75% of that is my dad's and grandpas but I keep adding to it lol. I'm looking to build me a shed soon to keep everything in.
bump for the newbies to respond
Passport stamps & experiences.
Baseball memorabilia....'specially the autographed baseballs and cards of my favorite players down though the years.
Relics of my favorite Saints. (real Saints...not ball players!) 
I collect books...Current favorite a 1954 RSV. concordance. Always like to imagine who bought the book first and why.
I also collect antique lighters. And then antiques, I guess I like old things.
Knives,Duck and Turkey calls for me....
I have a collection of pocketwatches....
Collecting things keeps getting me into trouble, since I collect old cars (VW's especially) motorcycles, and what my Wife declares as Junk, but most of the time the junk is old stuff that I replaced in the house, and once in a great while I get the satisfaction of using some of that old "junk" and get to tell my wife "arent you glad I kept it?" and I get a HMMMPPPFFFFF! 
I have a fairly large collection of Santons de Provence that comes out of the attic in Advent. They're still hanging around on the dining room table, waiting to be packed away for the next 11 months.
Knives, motorcycles, and memories!
Knives, motorcycles, and memories!
No pics of the motorcycles?
Train Stuff I even have a old hobo stay over in the back shed from time to time...
Mustangs, 1st edition novels, golfclubs, antiques, old photos of people I don't know, and much more.
My main collection items are Apple ipods and apple computers! Here are mot of them...
My iPod Collection (I have a bunch more that are in the middle of being fixed)
My Macintosh TV (only 10,00 made, I have one of the few that works)
My eMac.
My iBook G4 (custom outside shell, and apple logo)
My iMac G4, Macbook Pro, and Macbook
My latest addition, an iPad
i use to collect the old griswold cast iron skillets. i still have a set of the large block. and yes some old cast iron skillets are worth money. i also collect and make walking sticks.
I have two Griswold cast iron ash trays that I inherited from Dad and Grandpa. I see that they have a bit of collector value. Not near what the sentimental value is to me though.
I collect and restore these old(1950-70) English dolls.
I collect books, have loads, some old -- some that I believe deserve to be preserved, and a few I honestly believe deserve to be remembered forever. Only two authors I went real heavy with are Stephen King and Anne Rice, much moreso with King -- I actually have almost completed my complete collection of 1st editions for King, though the -only- signed book I own was by Mercedes Lackey.
I've started pulling together tins and bulk tobaccos for choice of my heirloom cellar -- I already have a few packs of rather unique Camels, some old Black Death packs before they stopped making them, a bunch of matchbooks and zippos and cigarette tins. . ..
Still have 1 of every Pokemon card ever produced from the 1st generation. I was a kid heh heh.
PS1/PS2 Videogames -- no excuse for that one, I just like them. Ditto for the guides.
Posters, some of which I drew/painted/made(digital) myself.
Bleeding Edge dolls, as well as the Alice in Wonderland Living Dead dolls -- some Nightmare Before Christmas knick-knacks, also Alice and Wonderland ones from the movie and from American McGee and a couple gothic ones that pre-date either.
Shounen-ai Manga and Manwa.
Magic the Gathering cards
Series box-sets (from the Simpsons to Outlaw star to That 70s Show. . .got tons of these)
Oh and of course cigarette cases.
And last -- I don't really collect these but the rack up quickly for some reason. . ..
1. Monster cans
2. SoBe bottles
3. Computer parts
4. Emptied of fluid or dead of flint bic lighters
5. hotel soaps
I collect working fighting knives. I collect an occasional firearm.
I guess you could say I collect crystals that have value/use in my Holistic Health modality. over 350+ now.
Older Hot Wheels cars that are in mint shape box'd or not.
I also have a collection of Classic GI Joes.
I have about 1400 Lp's and still buy them on Ebay, but I've slowed way down lately. I like turntables too, ( if you have one you don't want, send it to me :-)) I've got 6 of them I think.
Never had anything that had a series of products to collect that interested me.(comics, baseball cards, etc.)
Now let everyone post what they would collect if they had unlimited funds. 
These are my knives that I take deer hunting. The large one at the bottom stays home. It was made by Ray Johnson at Silver Dollar City. Tough as nails but not practical for skinning deer. The other two are great skinners. The one on the left was handmade by a man in Greenbriar, Ar and the one on the right is a Case XX.
Pocket knives the USA Kershaws are awesome, I love the scallion for a pocket knife.
I could say I am a coin collector. However, I probably have morphed into more of an investor over the years, strategically purchasing slabbed and graded coins. Right now, I am fascinated with high grade walking liberty halves.
Oriental Rugs, Knives, Wine, Northwest Native Carvings and Art.
Records. 78s, 45s, and LPs. Also, some unusual sizes and speeds. I also restore and collect old record players, tube type. I have a couple of Hi-Fi consoles but mostly tabletop models. Easier to store. I have a small collection of books which look good on the shelves as I never seem to have the time to read any of them.
The wife says i collect HOBBIES! lol.
I have done and collected..
Magician...at one time had a room full of illusions and tricks. My own magic parlor if you will.
Guitarist....speaks for itself
Marksman....Collect ammo and rimfire firearms
Magic the gathering card game.....several thousand cards
Fishing....Workshop full of rods reels
Radio control....two shelves full of miniature Helicopters, numerous trucks
Airbrush artist....my own T shirt painting shop
Drag racing... Cars tools
Knife making... Grinders forge old blacksmith tools,
collect cast iron skillets
YOYOING! lots of yo-yos 
Pipes....
Mine would have to be Cameras. In the photographic trade and have loved photography since i was about 10 and my dad got me into it.
So far the collection includes:
Bronica ETRSi + various lenses
Leica M7 + 50mm f/2 Summicron
Nikon S3 Rangefinder (2000 anniversary edition) - Boxed never used
Nikon F2
Nikon F90X
Nikon F501 - Boxed and never used
Nikon F801S
Nikon F401
Nikon F301 - Boxed never used
Nikon COOLPIX S8000

Various lenses and accessories.
All of that is carefully placed into a few camera bags, the girlfriend still has no idea how much camera stuff i actually have 
Pure bred Chickens.Dutch Bantams.
I have a few collections. I do bonsai and have a nice collection going. I recently started collecting old lighters, primarily zippo. As kid I did the whole hot wheels thing and have several thousand that will come out of the attic for a good auction in a few decades.
I also do books, but nothing special. Just like to eventually have a nice library full of all the classic stories.
I actually got rid of my MTG cards last year bogie -- just over 52,000 cards plus about 4000 rares. I made a pathetic 250 USD for the lot of 'em, but I really needed to be rid of them because....well it may be hard to imagine that many cards but trust me, it takes up a LOT of room.
i collect knives along with my collection of a few thousand original starwars cards. you gota love starwars
sandpiper, Dutch Bantams.. Thats awsome!
What are MTG cards? 
I have a large collection of bills sitting on my desk...
Hobie1dog: MTG = Magic the Gathering. It's a collectible card game. You collect a deck of cards, each with specific properties and "battle" another opponent or sometimes several like my brother and I used to do with our friends.
Toby jugs...all along a high up shelf.Some are good Doultons, some are trash. I've asked my wife not to buy me any more and I too will not get any! 'Kept my pipe cleaners up in one but it was unhygienic (dust)...Mike
OK....crap....what are Toby jugs? As you can tell, I ain't too smart. The brain capacity of a retarded mosquito.
Hobie, don't you know anything?!?
umm... yeah, what are Toby jugs?
