Some even lie saying they are firearms collectors but a quick search of their email or forum name usually finds them on various forums searching for parts to make Star Wars items.
I did manage to buy myself a very nice Star Wars magazine bag off eBay last year which could imply that I am a great Star Wars enthusiast/collector. Actually I am not, I had just happened to be scrolling down through the pages of eBay when I noticed a Yugoslavian M56 leather spare magazine bag that appeared to be in good condition but was listed as "Star Wars. As it hadn't been altered in any way, was in good condition and the price was right I purchased it.
