There's a lot of guys that think the same way you do and they will probably wreck you since most of them are town hall 10's. Good idea though! Especially with the new level 12 collectors out. I'll probably use this tactic!

Really? I have an alt base which I rely SOLELY on Collectors and mines, no raiding. It is 6 months old, 20 walls from maxing TH7, four builders and everything researched. My experiment is how high one can go relying solely on output and no raids. Just from failed attacks, it hit 1825 trophies last week ( now down to 1750 something). I empty the production into storage once a day. I'll get the DE drill this week, finish the walls and it appears be able to build TH 8.
Now....what was that about mines and collectors not contributing ?
For up to TH7, you can rely on collectors for most of your upgrades. It is the expensive upgrades of say 1.5 Million + that may cause some problems. From 0 to 800K, you will most likely not get attacked, and will probably be TH sniped. At this point, every time you get TH sniped, you will earn 216K resources (with 6 mines a level 11) per 12 hours shield. If you are lucky, you will get 2Millions after 6 TH snipes. If you are not, you will lose 250K (max of storage for TH7), but you will earn back 216K in 12 hours, so total loss is only 34K. This provides that you empty the collectors regularly. Therefore, from my experience, you will need to raid in session starting around 1.5Million in storage to ensure not to lose too much from defense.
At TH8, the upgrades are more expensive, but your defenses are also stronger, so I think using collectors is still feasible, although it may take more time.
Very bad idea, if your still gonnaplay farm in gold 3+ depends on your TH
