[*]You have bought at least one device just because it wasn't expensive.
Waves CLA-76 compressors for $79, retail $400? Well I already have 5 compressors, but why not!!

[*]You have never decided between Fender and Gibson. You're damn right, why should you choose?
Lies!!!! Fender for life! Much more beautiful, both to the eyes and ears (ya, I said it)

Tell me about it.
I got amazon gift cards over the holidays. I've already gotten everything I need (that'll fit in my tiny apartment) yet I'm still browsing through instruments and pro audio just looking for something to catch my eye.
I try and steer clear of plugins. It's an unhealthy addiction

Fellow G.A.S. sufferer here!
I check my eBay list *daily*. Had to unsubscribe from Musician Friend's "Stupid Deal of the Day" emails. Too tempting! Etsy? Aw, hell no!
Used to think driving halfway across the state to buy a $30 item i saw on craigslist was "a good way to spend a Saturday". I'm often reading reviews of gear i already own.
Currently i own 29 keyboards -- this is not counting melodicas, rackmounted gear or tone modules. When my last band when on a hiatus i was kinda freaking about where i would put all the gear. There are multiple two- or three-tier writing areas around the house; looking around the bedroom i count 9 keyboards, there's a two-tier setup in the living room, and a housemate has a two-tier synth rack in his bedroom because one day he mentioned he was "thinking about learning to play piano one day".
There are multiple guitars hanging on the walls: a bass, a cigar box guitar, a dulcimer, a mandolin, a uke, and a plain ol' electric. I kinda want to ask the cigar box geetar builder what he'd charge to make me a 2nd one but pitched to D instead of G. Was on an Indian instrument kick for a bit and ended up with a tumbi and a bulbul tarang.
There are probably 20+ guitar pedals in this room alone, about 7 drum machines in the house, and i see 6 grooveboxes from where i'm sitting... I once remember buying a sequencer expander cartridge only to release i already had once it arrived. Lately i've been on this "let's just repair old gear instead of buying new stuff" kick and now i have three different instrument repair places i visit. Once forgot about a keyboard i had left at one of them until i noticed on the banking website that there was a charge from them for storage of said 'board.
Fortunately i can play all these instruments fairly well except the tumbi or didgeridoo. (Well OK, there's just one little thing i play on the mandolin or dulcimer, but...) The rain stick? No problem! Think i'll pick up the tumbi today and re-visit those youtube vid's on it...
Oh yeah, and there's a Twilight Zone episode where a wax museum closes and an employee puts the wax figures in his basement with an a/c going to keep them at the optimum temperature and whatnot. That one really hit home when i first saw it.
