I've only sold armies once. One was largely a covid project; another a club project I'm done with; and a couple of HotT armies. Maybe an average of four years, but not a valid sample.

Other: please clarify the hat you are asking.

You buy it, but it is not your thing. How soon do you flip it?

For me, minis takes years to sell off, if ever. Rules a few years, depends on if someone at the club likes them so they might come into use. Board games are on sale on the Geek minutes after I give a thumbs down.

For me, there were three great bottlenecks. There was the Bottleneck of 1981-83, when the money ran out, the Bottleneck of '89-93 when everything ran out, and the Bottleneck of 2013-2020, when I realized time and opponents had run out, and I wasn't likely to live long enough to paint or play with everything on hand. I think I've got it right now. When you're actually worried that people might die and leave you castings, you're pretty much cured.
