[QUOTE="human, post: 410819, member: 1244"] Yes, getting rid of stuff you've collected is hard. A couple of years ago, I started accumulating electrical test equipment, mainly volt ohm meters (aka multimeters or multitesters) and a couple of months ago, I came to the startling realization that I had fifty of them!!! I decided a good start would be to put half of them up for sale on eBay and I've sold most of those but I still have too many and I'm getting ready to list some more. Of course, the decisions get harder the more I sell. My ultimate goal would be to keep maybe a dozen. Meanwhile, I'm also selling off my late father's toy collection, mostly Lionel electric trains, model cars and associated accessories. He never could bring himself to liquidate the collection and so my brother-in-law and I both listing stuff. It's tough to keep up the momentum, especially while working at a full time job. Retirement for me is still a little over a decade away and I'm seeing that selling this junk off is going to end up being a giant retirement project. [/QUOTE]
