Is it me ?,..or am i not the only one,..

[Defiant]

Last week i went through some boxes with spares and i really have way to much,...
Now i want to put some stuff up for sale but for some reason,..i can't,....
First of all,..i have no clue what to ask,..and second of all,..i do not really want to sell,..because i do not think the money i will get for these items will make me any happier then i already am,..
I have a real hard selling the stuff i have,..like i just want to keep it,.....and never want to sell,..just have the feeling i own it,.. :roll:
But on the other hand there are some nice things between these items which would look great on some of your bikes instead of the inside of the box,.....

please help! am i the only one?,.... :?

Kind of, discovering ebay made me get rid of some OMG-R@re stuff and some of the, OMG-who would want this tat stuff! so a few bits went, and now i have more crap cos of ebay and sites like this, not so much bike kit, thats a recent thing with here and my modern build.

Some stuff remains though like 1/2" blue DX pedals in BNIBox, not likely to build an oldskool bmx due to cost and popularity, still got my old 21speed suntour shifters too, loved those...

Every now and again I have a clear out and get rid of stuff thats not been used for a few months. I invariably end up needing it a couple of weeks later and have to buy it again. Keep it.

No you are not the only one

As retrobiker I respect and enjoy the good old stuff and would like to preserve it into eternity, hence that is what I do: preserving

Personal trait is that I do not deal very well with give up things in general.

Moreover selling is effort. Finding it again when you have sold it is even more effort. The money it generates does not offset the loss in joy when I don't have it anymore. Space -or actually lack of it- should drive me to sell things. I should sell stuff. Seeing your storage, it is probably less a problem for you.
