I suppose that if I have lots of bikes that I love, that you want, but can't get - I'm likely to consider myself to be a collector. To reverse it however - If you have lots of bikes that you love, I want, but which I can't get - I'm likely to view you as hoarding. It's just human nature, and one person's tongue-partly-in-cheek opinion.
Obviously, each of us has our own interests, motivations, financial and in some cases, spousal limitations. There are hundreds of bicycles I would like to have, but after initially entertaining delusions of maintaining my own bicycle museum, I've decided an even dozen is going to be my limit.
