I used to. Well, that is to say I tried very hard at the beginning of this past school year. However, funds and availability sort of got in the way.
I did end up having purchased more for actual use than for collection purposes though:
iPhone 3GS - 32 GB, Black
iPod Touch - Gen. 2, 8 GB
iPod Touch - Gen. 2, 16 GB
iPod Classic - Gen. 6, 80 GB (Broken), Black
iPod Touch - Gen. 2, 32 GB
iPod Video - Gen. 5, 60 GB, White
iPod Nano - Gen. 6, 16 GB, Red
iPod Mini - Gen. 2, 4 GB, Silver
And that is over the course of 5 years, with more than one actual user in mind (4-5, total), so maybe it isn't a huge amount, maybe for some it is. I was always just a fanboy I suppose, used to have to have the newest thing out there.
The others were just Kijiji purchases. I had planned to make a large, shelved shadow box and collect one of each of the iPod generations, but money got tight and I really lost interest when I couldn't find much out there. I believe I got both the Lavender Shuffle Gen. 2 and the Black Nano Gen. 3 for free from friends who had upgraded (the Nano has a terrible battery, so he didn't see the point in trying to make a buck), the 1st Gen. Shuffle from a friend of my sister's for $20, the Silver Nano Gen. 3 for $40 and the Shuffle Gen. 3 for $75 only a week after it's initial release. I really wanted to collect the actual classic models, but my silly mind strayed to stranger things. I think I actually used the Shuffle Gen. 3 for a while, but the headphones broke, so that's useless now too.
I had thought of selling them, but between the probability that nobody would want to pay for them and the difficulty of letting them go, I never did go through with that.

Hey, balancing is an art.Nice the left speaker is about to fall off or something. Looks nice under the desk.
Just as I read that I tested weather it was right at the tipping point or not. I caught the speaker, but the CD-Rs weren't so lucky....Oh and thanks for noticing my sock stash.

At least its your own money
I like how at least you bought it with your own money, even if I think you're going a little overboard on the stuff. I posted in the new past and present forum, but I haven't taken a picture with my new (old 2005 PowerShot 550) camera and with no powerbrick on the desk. So I'm going to take another pic and post it here! (16 here)

I also need to add todays very latest addition to my setup, I am now the proud owner of a 16GB WiFi & 3G iPad, which maybe moves the number of Macs, and certainly increases the number of OS X based devices up by 1... - One day it will be neat and cool, however that date is yet to be reached by my reckoning xD
