In that case I have DIYTBOD, Do It Yourself Telescope Build Obsessive Disorder with a touch of Equipment and System re-Arrangement Complex.

My set up seems to be always in a constant flux as I modify, rebuild, convert looking to get that perfect system without breaking the piggy bank. ( Must be part of my Scottish Short Arm, Deep Pocket Disease ).

I manage to curtail (or my wife does ) most of the expensive urges but I have to confess that Bunnings is my favourite ToyShop and I have more tools in my garage than is deemed decent. And my collection of 'Things and Bits that might One Day be Useful' is larger than most.

I think it's a result of gazing into the sky at night and wishing to know and understand more.

So rest assured LewisM, you are not alone in your compulsion. This obsessive hobby of ours manifests itself in many ways and as my lovely wife says, " as long as it doesn't break the bank or you then just get on with it "
