It's been a constant in my life and I guess through times of stress, upset etc its been something I can retreat to, collect my thoughts and focus on something other than reality :)
It also means that I have acquired through good reason or not an awful lot of stuff!!
This year will see my son move to America and he is going through a huge declutter program in his life and that really kickstarted me to do the same.
So I'm having a huge clear out - not selling through dribs and dabs just selling to a dealer in one big go. No stress, no hassle and I'm still leaving myself an awful lot of figures and games to look at but in the periods I guess I started the hobby with and the ones I'd like to finish with !!!!
So its hopefully the one and only big clear out and its back to business as usual painting whats left. :)

A good clean out is good to provide focus on what's left ... so well done
I did a little clearing out for my recent move, but I probably could have done more. Past moves and clear outs have taught me to be cautious though; but then I was probably too aggressive before and too cautious now.
Dave,
Absolutely, a little touch of reality every now and then doesn't do any harm

I've been the reverse, mini, cautious clear outs in the past. This is the aggressive one and when it's done it's done. I will be left with the periods and the games I really love
Bloody hell Graham that's an awesome/aweful amount of surplus stuff. And I thought I was a boarder!
Colin,
Right on both counts awesomely awful.! But I will feel better when it's gone.😀
Graham
What a pile. Hope you get a good price for it

It's all relative I guess, taking it round the shows over the next couple of years I could most probably double what I get, but a few thousand pound in hand in one go offsets the hassle and the chew 😀
Very sensible solution. Moving house twice in two years was very therapeutic for focusing on what I still wanted from the hobby, and I became quite an expert at selling on Ebay!
