Sahabettin Özçelik has probably got the largest collection of mobile phones you’ve ever laid eyes on.

Starting out as a repairer two decades ago, he has amassed a collection of over 1,000 phones. Almost all of them are from the days before smartphones, when you actually had to push a button rather than the screen to call someone.

Özçelik lives in Van, an eastern province of Turkey, and continues to collect phones even as he repairs them.

His collection used to be even larger, but thieves broke into his house and stole 700 of them two years ago.

Even so, he has managed to fill a room with the technological artifacts.

Hoarder alert..........

And he is not even collecting good phones na touchlight phones full there

Those phones are raw money in 100years to come. Local man is wise.



Even you will gladly buy this phone for 50k when you are 80years old just to reminise on a life well spent.

That dude is building wealth from scrap.

What is he going to do with the collections, did is madness

Him go open museum be that.

He's a HODL... Long time trading things

Hmmm,

Impressive! Several decades from now, some smartphones in this his collection might sell for small fortunes.

Madness

Waste of time, energy and money

Y'all saying he's wasting his time collecting, does that mean collecting old cars, artifacts, rare cards, paintings, jeweleries and other old "junk" a waste of time?

Even the thieves that stole some know their worth (if you know, you know )
