| here's some info from BBC website:
"Two dinosaur skulls have fetched top prices at an auction in New York.A giant 65-million-year-old Triceratops skull sold at Bonhams' Natural History auction for $242,000 (£148,000). A skull from a cousin of the T. rex, the Alioramus remotus, went for $206,000 (£126,000). "It actually looks lovely... it looks like a sculpture," Bonhams' spokeswoman Staci Smith told AFP news agency. She said private collectors often snap up "dinosauria" - the collective term for dinosaur eggs, teeth and bone fragments - to decorate their homes."
well, it seemed quite funny for me-I just imagined a dino skull in the middle of my room... COOL  It's a pity, but I don't collect anything...may be, only magnets for a frige  And what 'bout u? are u a crazy collector?)))

| I collect coins. But I can't say that's my hobby. It's just a strange habit))

|  to my mind, hobby is a great thing)) you can be an expert in some sphere)) I have an interesting collection of Soviet and American stamps. Banal, I know)) but it was a great fun to me to collect them, to sort them, to find their price and meanings in a special book in my childhood))

| Neriel-sama! You are the first person who wrote about the hobby that is one of my pet activites. To tell the truth, I was rey much leen on cllecting stamps during three periods of my life - when I was a teenager, when I graduated from the Uni, and when I started showing my collection of stamps to my children. My collection included a lot of stamps on FAUNA. I have a few thick albums, they now rest on a shelf, I haven't opened them for a few years. Will do it today.

| I collect magnets for my fridge (I know it is not original), but all members of my family bring magnets only from places which we've visited. If somebody presents me with a magnet from the place that my family hasn't visited, I don't hang it on the fridge.
But I don't think that collecting magnets is a hobby nowadays. My hobby is growing pot flowers.

| When I was a child, I collected wrappers from bars of chocolate. My friend and I were merely crazy about that. As we didn't have even pocket money, we couldn't afford to buy chocolates so we had to look for the wrappers in the streets, to ask our friends for them...
As a result, I had a 96-sheet copy-book full of different chocolate wrappings. I left it to my Granny)))
I don't collect anything nowadays, I prefer to throw out every thing that I don't need.

That's a good trait. I try to develop it, too. But, you know, it's always so difficult for me to throw out things that I don't need now but that were somewhat important for me earlier. I don't even know what to do with this drawback.

| I guess everybody collects magnets on his fridge  and so do I. Some of them are quite funny- just stupid toys or something like that. Others- are quite important for me.
But one thing I can say for sure is that I never throw away different things, and I even don't want to develop this trait:)
