Maybe my comic books. But I needed the root canal.

Sometimes.I once unloaded my 15mm ancients,and then several months later a friend wants to start playing DBA.I looked at the silver lining-its an opportuinity to start over,with figures that are nicer.

No I sell my wargames stuff as a process of ethnic cleansing, although have a load of 1970/1980s Mini Figs Middle Earth and D&D stuff together with Greenward and Ball S&S stuff that I should sell, be a shame to part with it but then I could do with the room and a few extra pies!

Tally Ho!

Ever… But I have learnt to be ruthless. Otherwise I will be crushed under tons of unpainted white metal!

Happens to me periodically. Then I look at the mound of stuff and the new items I want and just keep on selling.

If the regret ever runs too deep, I just re-buy whatever it was I sold off…
Like the 1/2 dozen or so times I've sold off the minis from BattleMasters, only to re-buy the minis aor the entire game…

I once sold all my painted D&D figs from the early 80s. I still regret it, but at least my best friend bought them so they're still around.

Occassionally I paint something for ebay that I like so much I hate to part with it but usually the painting itself is gratifying enough.

On a bright note the birth of ebay gave me a chance to reclaim alot of stuff that I had to sell. I would say I have gotten back just about everything I really wanted.

Except for my original D&D stuff because my young wife insisted I had outgrown theat stuff. Damn.

My fully painted Slann Army and my White Dwarf collection (the pre-House Organ issues.)

There are some painted figures that I sold because I didn't like them at the time, like my 15mm Peter Laing Republican Romans or my 15mm Minifigs ACW figures. I wouldn't be gaming with them now, but those figures gave me some happiness when I had them.

I should have never sold my '76 Cadillac Coupe de Ville… sigh.
Otherwise nahh

I sold an Escher gang (Necromunda) that I had converted two figs
1. a juve with a can of hair spray and a lighter (hand flamer)
2. A fat chich (heavy) with a grenade launcher

I passed on my complete run of Byrne/Claremon X-Men comics to my kid. It was a good decision. They'll never be worth much money, but they have been well loved.
