    Nothing - I don't think there's anything I regret selling because they've all gone towards better things for us. There are a few things that I definitely wouldn't get rid of, such as a toy koala bear that my grandad gave me before he died.

    You know this thread has stopped me listing some stuff on Ebay. I have quite a large CD collection and have some real rarities by obbscure artists.

    I know that if I sold my collection off I would possibly make around £500 profit as some are collectors peices now but I have collected them over a 15 years and know I could never replace some of them as the were printed independently.

    I now cant decide if im using this as an excuse as I dont want to part with my collection. decisions decisions....

    oop sorry crown, didn't mean to deter!! Would you regret it further down the line if you sold them all? have you a need for the money more pressing than the need for the cd's? Maybe put most on just keep back the ones you really feel like you can't let go?
    sorry again. xx

    Crown, I would record them first, then sell them. I sold all my records a long while back, thought I might regret it but never have. Think how much that £500 would help.

    No need to be sorry, Its just me mulling things over lol

    In a way It would only bring my DFD forward by less than a month so it may not be worth it in that sense although the stress the debt causes me and the arguments it sometimes causes in the household would make it the right thing to do.

    I'll list the other stuff first and just think about the CDs lol ;)

    I'm about to move in with my OH and take all my stuff from my parents house - some of which I haven't looked at for years. I will be ebaying EVERYTHING I don't need at this current time - I'm going for the minimalist life, and I'm sure I will find it hard, then regret some things!!

    I'm a horder too Crown - but I'm going to try not to be!

    Though if we get the bigger house it means I won't be quite so eager to get rid!
