When you start your own LHS and operate it at a loss solely so you can buy kits wholesale and pass off the stash as stock shelves to the wife.

When you buy six new kits for every one you complete.

When you decide you'll never complete the stash so it's time to prune it back, so go and sort through the three hundred odd kits and come back with one old Tamiya Flakveirling that can go.
