[QUOTE="peekaygee73, post: 546370, member: 6023"] I seem to be able to sell on things I'm not interested in - doubles, stuff bought as part of lots, etc... It's the 'completist' mentality that's my downfall. There are a couple of bands whose memorabilia/records I collect, and I find myself buying stuff that just gets put away knowing I won't look at it for ages - just because I want to have every vinyl/CD release of every single. I tend to go through phases of this then have a clear out; not usually of the stuff I've bought recently but older stuff I know I no longer want. I usually find that when I have a clear-out I'm not buying at the same time. It's like I've got fed up with myself and recognise I need some more room or don't need so much stuff! :LOL: You're right though, it needs to be you that owns your collection and not the other way round. I was buying a particular range of 1/6th scale figures, purchasing every single one, till I realised 'This is nuts, I'm buying them whether I like them or not just to be a completist'. Stuff like that, when boxed up, consumes a lot of space. [/QUOTE]
