Rob, welcome aboard the sewage hole of Action Force collectors!

Some girls suck cock so marvellous guys go blind!
Seriously, this happens all the time: different stages in life with different priorities. You start collecting when single, your appartment gets cluttered with toys. You're living in an oversized boysroom, but you are over twenty. Then you run into a nice lady, priorities change, you need room for the baby, a little extra cash would be fine to support the house, etc. The missus is wondering why you keep all the boxes in the attic when there's need for a new Ford Fiesta. Most guys (especially fathers) understand the situation and sell their collection. Most of them don't even look back. Some guys decide to (partly) rebuild to the collection once the financial situation gets better.
Luckily, I am living with a lady that fully understands the hobby of collecting, we're both making good money, we don't want any kids and we live in a house that easily fits a family of five. So basically for me there is not a single reason for me to sell anything. Still sometimes I wonder: "Why do I have all this sh*t stored in the loft? Some boxes have not been opened for years. If I sell it today I would not miss it."
