why not, indeed!? here's one for ya'... how do you when enough is enough? when to quit? when to cash out? my interest in the vintage "thing" is omnipresent* but i am long since bored with "acquiring". i bartered, horse-traded, and bought my way through the 90s, and now, when i look at all this stuff, it's there, but i don't see it. it wouldn't be a stretch to say it's ballast, like a noose.

i don't really need the money - but a collection eventually accumulates and represents a fair amount of equity. does anyone have similar issues regarding their vintage hobby? has anyone resolved a situation like this? as i noted earlier on THE FILE THREAD, it was poignant of harris to write:

"It wasn't until I "let up a bit" until much of anything,or anyone pleased me.It wasn't until I "let up a bit" until much of anything,or anyone pleased me."

to put it another way, i feel like my future is hindered by holding on to so much of my past. i'd like to know if any listees have a parallel situation.
