I interested to know how many collectors still collect them all? a) All Harbour Lights - LE, Glows, ABs, etc?
b) All Harbour Lights - LEs only?
c) I used to collect all until (date)? but now only collect?
thanks, Bob
ps I'm sure Paul has them all, and Bob M. may have at least 2 of each.
:rolleyes:

Bob,
I still collect everything Harbour Lights produces -- or try to. The only exceptions are the Sky Balloons and the Guardians of the Night.

I interested to know how many collectors still collect them all? I had them all up to the end of last year but have started to sell some of my inventory because of lack of storage and display space. I've been trying to sell most of my doubles, triples, etc., but sales are slow. When you see "Bargains from Bob" at the New Marketplace, those are mostly pieces I have multiples of. Those I can afford to sell for less. The premium pieces I have are also for sale but not at bargain pricing. My goal is to reduce my 300+ inventory by at least 100 pieces. Reality struck and now I realize there is no real benefit to keeping a full collection unless you have the room to display them all. I have many HL's that have only seen the light of day to be inspected after shipment, then they were put into storage. Hopefully, some of them will find a new home where the new owner can enjoy them on display. I'm still on autoship for one each of the LE's, AB's, society pieces, Christmas ornies, lenses, but no GLOW's. Bob

I collect all the LEs, Anchor Bays and lenses. Naturallt that includes Society, Christmas, Event Pieces, and Reunion Pieces. I also have a couple of GLOWS(ugh)with special meanings, balloons, lens ornaments and Society ornaments along with "Bob Trees" and "Bill Dolls". I have them ALL DISPLAYED at this time but will be slowing down sometime in the near future as either the room runs out, money runs out or LE are discontinued.

I mostly collect LLOM's due to lack of space. But every once in a while, there is a LE I just have to have!

Yes Bert,
I do collect the LLOM's. So I also collect all the
LE's GLOW's Days Gone By Collector's Society Special Editions (including all the Thumbnails) British Pharos Collection (including 3 non-Pharos) Christmas Lighthouses (including ornaments) Anchor Bay Ships British Little Lights (there were only 12) The Exclusives and the Knights Of The Not-So-Round Table (all 12 - they were a marketing failure)
Am I insane? Probably. Will I quit? Yes, the day I die. I'm thinking I'll have my collection buried with me, but Digger mentioned a while back that he would dig me back up.
