Is the ability to be able to expend heavily on vinyl, therefore proving your love for a music/scene more than the next man (see the John Cleese, Ronnie Barker & Ronnie Corbett 'Class' sketch) really prove anything at the end of the day?
Without another to display your collection/expenditure to (a scene for eg), is collecting vinyl nothing more than keeping up with The Jones'.
The majority, not all may I add, of collections that come up for sale have always appeared to come from people that have dropped out of the scene....which says to me that 90% of a collections value to many is in it's display value.
Without someone to show it to - what is it worth?
Please don't drop, what I would see as, the obvious responses to this question.
I have no one these days to display my wares to anymore, but I still buy them for me, like so many others on here - but there must be a degree of madness involved when it comes to being able to collect vinyl = at todays prices.
Is there an element of ' if a tree falls in a forest an there is no one there to witness the event, does it make a noise' - that's a bit cryptic innit, sorry, but I hope you get my general drift.

Yes or no?
