  4. When is the right time to pare down a collection?

    in Warhammer 40,000

    Posted

    the joy of de-cluttering / thinking about ways to start NEW projects / moving on (gasp) is generally followed up with despair over figuring out money invested vs money obtained from selling off / heartfelt affection for the old models / delusional "i'm sure it'll come back" in terms of game play / etc.

    at least for me

    denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance are the five stages

     

    i sold off probably 90% of my comic collection recently.  all the "high-end" stuff that wasn't Batman related.  All the years of collecting gone, the money, the good times, just having it around, etc.    seriously took a while to just get over it and move on

     

    totally get how you feel.  for 40k, i played competitively in THIRD edition.  been stockpiling since with the delusion that i'll play.  i retire next year so we'll see.  but until then it's just a massive amount of space and thoughts of time sink / money spent / what's the point / etc.     but to unload it all now would be silly were i to actually have time to play once i retire and have to replace it all... but then again, that's why i'm so butt hurt about the firstborn.  i have zero primaris.  tons of other armies, sure but scale creep, usable models, the list goes on and on...

    Appreciate everyone's input, truly.

    With respects to all the questions, I think I can summarize:  I'm retiring in one year.  I will have time to deep dive into stuff and tinker.  That being said, my kid (23, mind you) likes getting into things like this.  No idea what he has, what the possibilities are, etc.

    I told him if the forum folks told me "that's amazing" then I'd move forward ha ha.  But seeing as how it's iffy at best PLUS my lack of general knowledge, it's one more thing that can wait until I can do the deep dive research and THEN commit.
