I decided to collect antique charms. Vintage charms, actually. I only have one so far, but it counts! It feels good to have something to look for specifically when I go antiquing.
How to collect something
How I did it: I decided to collect movies. I now have over 500 DVDs and 100 VHS. I think my movie collection tells a lot about me. I have movies everyone has seen to one's few people saw. I lend them to friends like a free Blockbuster. I share stories and ideas about directors and movies. I love my collection. When we move from DVD's to something else I dont know what I will do :)
People doing this are also doing these things:

Bottles and wine corks. Also am collecting shot glasses from other countries and magnets from favorite cities.
It can be a little pricey at times but I love collecting and wearing vintage swimsuits from the 40s and 50s. I have about 5 so far, but I plan on collecting more. It’s been a while since I’ve bought one, but maybe I’ll take a look some more, I think it’s due time for a new one.

Get this under control.
Do not go overboard with the EBay thing.
Deal with what you currently own, organze it and get rid of the duplicates.
No More EBay!!

I am hooked on the trading card game MTG. I have had a small box for several years now and just got back into it. I now have 1000’s. I guess that counts as a collection. I am organizing them and rating them for value.
I will collect something else I am sure but for now this is a start.
A couple of days ago I realized that I’ve never collected anything, so it’s finally time to start. I just don’t know what I’d like to collect, hopefully the idea will come to me soon.

I used to collect things; comic books, baseball cards, pins. Now I am 40 and it would seem that collecting would be a little silly to start now but I have an urge to collect something. I don’t know what. When I see it I will know.
I was going to collect barf bags from different airlines. I started with one from a C-130 military transport. It is the same bag used on the NASA space shuttle but then I found a guy on the internet who already has like a gajillion bags from everywhere and I decided to collect something different.
Still don’t know…
