I have always collected Nautical items, but for 10 yrs or so it was Hot wheel cars. One day when I had over 1400 of them in racks I designed on the walls of my hobby room I decided I no longer enjoyed the hunt for more or the variations etc. At a Hobby show a guy expressed and interest in my collection. What he offered me was astounding, so off they went save for a few VW's which always enamored me. And I went back to model building and painting etc.
So when you no longer enjoy the Hunt or acquisitition maybe its time to reduce the collection anf go to something else.
Then again as collectors we usually always find something to pique our interest.
