Say you have a room full of chainsaws, the bulk of which have been restored to some presentable condition and are nicely arranged on display, feel no guilt. You don't have a disease, you are a COLLECTOR. Be proud of your collection and your craft and it would be great if you would have visitor days when like minded folk could come and appreciate what you have. Maybe heft a few saws, check their weight and balance, fondle their handles and pull their triggers.
On the other hand, have you been engaged in the mindless accumulation of chainsaws, the bulk of which have never been touched since you got them? Are they stashed away in nooks and corners and maybe spread around through many buildings and you lie to people about how many you have (don't really know the number)? You sir are a HOARDER and might benefit from a 12-step program.
Most of us fall somewhere between these roles, so when you are out looking for another saw, do you have a plan for it? Will it fill a gap in your collection of models? Is it just a saw you like and want to get it running and see how it cuts and maybe "think" about selling it, or will it just get added to the pile with the thought "I'll get around to seeing if I can get it to run someday"?
