Keräilytarkoituksen

Keräilytarkoituksen, a Finnish term, translates to "for collecting purposes" or "for collector's purposes." This phrase is primarily used in contexts related to the acquisition and ownership of items, particularly in legal and commercial settings. It signifies that an item is being purchased, sold, or held not for its immediate practical use, but for its value as part of a collection.

The concept of keräilytarkoituksen is often invoked when discussing the legality or taxation of certain goods. For example, some items that might be restricted or regulated for general public use may be permitted for purchase or possession if the stated intent is for collecting. This distinction can be crucial for collectors of things like antique firearms, certain types of historical artifacts, or even specific types of currency.

In retail environments, particularly for specialized items like stamps, coins, trading cards, or vintage toys, the seller might explicitly state that an item is offered keräilytarkoituksen. This can imply that the item is being sold in its original condition, potentially with some wear or imperfections that are characteristic of collected items, rather than as a new, pristine product for everyday use. It also suggests that the buyer is expected to be knowledgeable about the item's collectible value. The term helps differentiate between a functional purchase and one driven by the desire to preserve, display, or build a curated set of objects.
