My wife has this gene, and won't let me sell my LTM stuff as she finds it 'cool', and very interesting, and lets me keep some of it on the shelf in the den on display. She has remarkable taste, and her only fault is to get dressed, then ask me- the guy who wears green plaid with red and white stripes, white sox and brown shoes- how she looks!!! Also, she wants me to have a Noctilux, so if I were you, I'd chat these birds up for all it's worth!!!
