It seems to me that something in their brain says buy it now because you might never be able to buy it again. I don’t know if that’s the definition of a hoarder but there is definitely something going on upstairs.
i've seen the same thing & wondered what people were doing with it all--until i saw LOTS of it on ebay. it makes one wonder
