I don't have any old machines but I do have a large stash of material (and usually end up buying more when I sew LOL). My husband restores hot rods as a hobby. When he started to complain about my stash, I gently pointed to the garage and asked what he was going to do with all that stuff along with the fact that I DIDN'T have a garage to put my stash in. He laughed when he realized I still had $20,000 or so before my stash was worth as much as his!
