Plain and simple - Hoarding is a mental disorder. A person sees value in items that have NONE. Or the person sees irrational unrealistically high value in their items. If you store your "collection" in the woods or a field- a tin shanty you are not a collector but a junk hoarder.
Bet everyone of us has a collection of stuff others would call junk that we irrationally value and keep, just in case. I have two 904's and two A833's I've been hoarding for 20+ years and they are not for sale. Will I ever use them? Probably not. But they are mine to use, or not, as I please.
So careful tossing the hoarder line around, plenty out there could say it applies to you too.
