@Marhalika: Sorry to hear your house burned down 
I am not a hoarder, on the contrary I throw away almost everything, including a pair of new shoes I just bought and bills I haven't paid yet I have some things that have a symbolic meaning to me, like art and photos from some of my journeys, but that's about it. I don't save letters, worn out clothes, furniture I don't use or other books than the ones I still need for my job.
I think this question is just like our personal experinece of art - we load things with symbolic meaning, we associate a certain thing to certain memories, experiences, etc. Thus the crap has an abstract, subjective value beyond practical function.Originally posted by Mr Sleep
The thing that interests me is that this is mostly tat and to be honest i would throw it out and make way from more CDs
