Have you ever sold your collection before?

I came up with about $1400 from selling my games two years ago to fund a move after I got laid off and couldn't afford my apartment.
Quite a bit of stuff I'll probably never see in a store ever again.

*Looks up at avatar in last post* Funny - I sold one of my complete DVD sets of Haibane-Renmei once - fortunately, I had a second copy (the Mrs had one as well).
When it comes to food on the table, electricity in the lines, and rent being paid, nothing is worth hanging on to... hence, at one time, I had nearly the ENTIRE G1 series of Transformers IN THEIR BOXES and sold them off on eBay.
It's also amazing what niche can be sold for what price - for example, I am an avid model rocket feind - been so since the early 70's - you would not believe what some folks will pay for what is basically a paper towel tube with a balsa wood nose cone - my best sale was $500 for a built 1969 Estes Saturn 1B.
Mind you - I'd kill to be able to have them all back... sigh!
I wonder what someone will give me for my old AMG pencilboards... hummm...

At some point I realized that I don't need my collection as I hardly ever re-watch anime, so I sold all my DVDs) It's easier to download a show again than to keep track of DVDs.

I stop by the three local independent used game and dvd stores about once a week just looking for a copy of Haibane Renmei. The average ebay price is just absurd.
I would imagine model rockets have skyrocketed in price now that regulations make it far more difficult to maintain a functioning collection. When I was a kid it was pretty easy to go to a hobby store, or pick up a mail order magazine, and be able to buy some pretty crazy stuff.
