<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 10228725, member: 76316"]The real answer for me is: I don't pick at all...except outta my own hoard. The hobby became an obsession, an' then an imperative. 35 years later, I wised up enough to turn my attention within, an' began to mine the collection for items that might appeal to others...eBay has been, in that sense, a 2-way street for maybe 4 years now. It ain't the money...oh dear, no...it's the gain of free cubic feet of space in my dwelling (an' in 3 storage spaces), along with the feeling of having triumphed in a modestly significant way over a long an' costly habit. The task will never be completed by my efforts, but I don't care...the kids an' grandkids will deal with it...or not.</p><p>I love all my stuff...don't get me wrong. But it is certainly time for me to re-focus in these last few precious years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
