firstly and most importantly, and I can`t stress this enough, - have all your new acquistions sent to your office. OK?
Then the day your partner has to work late, sneak the decks home and put them in your new big LOCKED skate storage SECURITY box. "I HAVE TO KEEP IT LOCKED FOR SECURITY"
Of course!!! a big locked box. You love your babies. you don`t want some crack fiend breaking in to your house and trading your grail for a pipefull.
Sure, you can`t display all decks. But you can often say you traded one deck with another when you put up a new one and take down the old one.
Remember: the trick is to keep the same 10 or so decks up the top of the box so everytime you open it infront of your beloved they see the same decks and think "the same decks nothing changed, he/she hasn`t blown the rent money". new purchases/trades go at the bottom or on the wall(IE. a trade).
also : when you first get your SECURITY box and put in some decks, make sure you fill the bottom with cardboard or blocks of wood. then put your decks on top of this. It makes the box look more full. show your partner this. then as you get more decks take out the cardboard /blocks of wood. your partner sees the same old top 10 decks and is none the wiser.
they will assume that naturally you would put your new decks on top of the old ones.
partner -"did you buy more decks"
you - "no!!!" opening box "it is still up to this level"
Also find fellow collectors in your town/city. we have to work together. Have "swap meets"at you house. Have you loved ones there, the more the merrier. have some beers and enjoy.
You make many a trade, one for every new deck you bought. your partner is thinking, "ohh good, not more boards, just swaps, it seems harmless".
Durring the "trades" sometimes your buddies decks will be a little more valuable than yours, so you will swap an old deck with a little cash for a new deck. just a little, $20 here, $40 there.
Afterwards you say to your partner "gee, that was fun, I don`t have to buy decks I can just swap. we should invite (insert swap buddies name here) over more often".
Of course you have prearranged everything. those decks aren`t swaps, they are the new decks you bought that you had sent to you office and that you delivered to your swap buddies house the day before. Everydeck is yours!!!!
And of course the money that you traded with your old decks wasn`t for the difference in deck value. After all they are ALL YOUR DECKS. That money then goes towards purchasing new decks which are delivered to your office.
The next day you go to you swap buddies house and pick up your old decks and put them at the bottom of the box.
I don`t feel too ashamed. but deep down I sense a bad feeling and know that I have done wrong.

I've printed that out for reference!! 
I must admit I've used the trade line before but never thought of getting buddies around to help with the plot.
I also use a slightly different approach. All my new aquisitions are posted to my folks house, I duly collect on my way home from work and store them in the boot/trunk of my car until an opportune moment arises for me to sneak them inthe house. I have a load of decks hanging on my walls in the room we keep the PC in, obviously she uses this room to check her mails and look up garbage on the internet, therefore notices all the boards hanging there. I've found that if I move these around on frequent occasions (natural decks together or powells together then swap em all around) she loses track of what was where and hey presto I can sneak a 'new' deck in right under her nose and if she does spot it I say ' that old thing, that's been there for ages remember, it was over in the other corner when I had all the powells together etc. etc.', this confuses the poor old girl and normally results in the reply ' well I can't keep track of them, you move them about that often'.
Seems to work for me. |

Wish i would have read this entry a few months ago...
I think i do all that NOW.
but i learned as most of you did the hard way...
KNow whats really funny?? I'll be on the internet.. either S&B or Ebay and I'll hear her coming up the stairs to the room or call me and I QUICKLY MINIMISE the window like im looking at porn or something and she'll come in and there will be nothing on the monitor and she'll ask "What are you doing??"
"oh nothing" was normally my reply... 
now it's "I'm listing boards on EBAY and S&B" 
She actually smiles now Instead of bitching and I am guaranteed another 30 minutes of uninterupted scavenging time.
Its all knowing how to work it i am figuring out...
But i think i have a problem... are there any groups that meet in my area
maybe a SAN DIEGO B.O.N.S.A. chapter??
If not anybody ready to start one?? |

This is so unkewl...
But we are going to Vegas next week. My wife always drinks a bit to much, goes to sleep. And I have 3 deals going on. So I plan to say I blew a whole bunch of money honey (bad bets), and send the $ out... to get my goods... She will forgive me, she always does.
Might work...... |

You're almost there.
Make sure she approaches her upper limit of consumption, then tell her the following morning that she was the one who made all of the bad bets... |
