Young collector from Delhi - just starting out

Another young collector here! Focus on quality not quantity. One good piece is better than five mediocre ones.

Start with one brand and learn it well. Zippo is a good choice - affordable, well-documented, easy to maintain.

3 lighters is a collection! Don't rush to grow it. Appreciate what you have and add pieces that truly excite you.

Join local collector groups on Facebook. People often sell duplicates cheap. Also great for learning.

Student budget means flea markets are your best friend. Dilli Haat, Sarojini Market - you can find hidden gems cheap!
