Do you guys remember pictures of old metal pedal cars stacked and piled up at scrap yards to be melted down for WW2? These vids of DM4U's collection reminds me of those pedal car pics.

Look like these:

It's fairly clear that "he's out to lunch, breakfast, dinner, tea, supper, the lot. He's not in for a single meal, if you ask me".
He was a member on S2G for a while. Things went sour when he persisted in outbidding other members on eBay for boomers he already owned at least one of. not sure if he was ever a member here.
If he was rich, maybe he could be called eccentric...
but he's not rich, is he.
Not in any way.
Sad, really...

...not sure if he was ever a member here. ..

He has tried at least once. He has also been banninated from the Facebook group for Brotherhood of Boomboxery.

Thats what I never understood!!
He would purposely over bid on boxes he already had two or three of .
I guess it doesn't matter when you are putting them all on charge cards you never intend on paying.

I'm not trying to put oil on fire as a moron but I remembered this vid I saw 1 year ago (on the s2g forum i think) and it really hurts me a bit because I realised that collecting things is a good thing as a clear hobby but u have to be careful with your mind and pay attention to the moment where you're not collecting them anymore because you like those stuff indiviually but just because to have more and more and more until you'll be only focused on it.

I think this guy should open a shop / workshop, or better, should sold all his collection (just keeping 5 to 10 grails, no more, to be able to display them descently in his home) and begin something new with his money (travelling, starting a new project etc...clearing his mind in fact)

here is his collection (at the begining u feel like wow ! but 2 minutes letter i felt like wow and then wow )

we have to keep in mind that collecting stuff is not building a fortress !

You are so right. For one, your description of the reaction to the video is hilarious and accurate.

This man does seem to really have a problem, though. Collecting can become addictive, just like a drug, and can leave you empty and altered and unable to focus on anything else. I do think that it was not right of him to overbid for boxes he already had, especially when he was a member of a community that was tied together by the love of the things he was taking away from others. However, his videos seem to indicate that he was trying to sell his collection as of 2 weeks ago. I hope he is successful and can move on to enjoying other parts of his life.

P.S.: If his liberation from his cripplingly obsessive-compulsive habit happens to result in super-low prices on sweet systems, I am totally helping with that "therapy"!

^ awesome vid, I hadn't seen that before. I like how he hits the "turbo bass" but it's really the ALC switch

Wow, that is so giving of you...it shows your a caring person!

I probably should care too!

I already offered him some therapy: $150 + S&H for one of his "Bolt" boxes.

He didn't want to be cured!

Go!

Well, Youtube took the video down:

"Hi there,

Thank you very much for your notification. The content has been removed.
Regards,

The YouTube Team"

But the video now has my NAME ON IT! WTF?

I wrote back to Youtube:

"Thank you, but that sucks you put my NAME ON IT!
Thats not cool....this guy is a gun wielding PSYCHO!
Can you please take my name off it?"

What the hell is wrong with Youtube?
