I've loved Halloween masks since about the age of 6 and I still haven't lost interest at 31. I haven't been collecting as much as I usually have because I'm getting married next weekend so most money has gone to paying for my wedding. If not for that I would have bought more masks. This hobby to me is getting bigger. I see many high end pieces I wish I could drop $400 or $1000 on, only it's not in my budget. those pieces are selling because I see other people snatching them up. You are right about seeing more poor quality work and people getting ripped off. I just avoid giving any of those people my hard earned cash. I've been ripped off on ebay but never from any board members on here or on the HMA. So far so good.
