[QUOTE="Mini99, post: 480702, member: 8198"] I too sold everything 7 years ago, and felt good about the decision, as I had not collected SW in any earnest since about 2001, this feeling lasted for a while! In between these years I have always collected, what I collected kept changing and I never felt happy with what I was collecting, so kept selling up and starting afresh with something new. I had a "re awakening" two years ago and started to look at Vintage SW on the internet and was astounded by the price rise since I sold up, and more so the information that was out there on this hobby and the community spirit that was quite evident as this was not present when I last collected in the 1990's. I started to listen to the VR and Chive cast podcasts and decided to get back into SW collecting again, and have not regretted it one bit. What I do regret is selling [u]all [/u] my collection, I was fortunate that I didn't sell because I needed the money, so why on earth did I sell everything, I really wished I had kept a few (well really a lot) of pieces! Well rambling over, what I am trying to say is to wait some time before you sell up everything, and then before you do look at what you have, what gives you pleasure and perhaps sell the reminder, and just put the other bits away for a while, if you still don't feel the love in a few years then sell the reminder then, I can't see you loosing money?!? Take a break, this hobby can be 24/7/365 if you let it, but once sold it's not easy or cheap for that matter to replace what you have, believe me I know from experience! I hope that this helps. Whatever you chose to do, good luck. :D [/QUOTE]
