Only If You Own It
Max:
It all depends on the definition of "junk". I may have a Cobra replica that has little market value when compared to others. But, if I worked hard and saved for a number of years to be able to afford it, then it may be priceless to me. I may value my $10,000 replica as much, or maybe more, than someone who has one that cost $65,000+.
There are two values to almost any property, what it's worth on the open market and what it's worth to its owner (the term "sentimental value" comes to mind here).
My mother always taught me to find something about the object I liked and then say something nice ("Hey Mister, is that a real NOS Pinto engine? SWEET!!").
Bottom line: If you own it then you're qualified to call it junk. If you don't own it, keep your thoughts to yourself.
Happy Holidays!!
