Can we do it?

So we're still trying to widdle the collection down to it's very core it's hard work though we've already taken our collection down from almost 300 to 240 or so (keeping in mind that we don't have all our collection displayed) and at first we were thinking maybe we should just keep 100 but, that just seems like too much sacrafice so now we're at the no more than 200 stage of thinking. Although really the lower the better.

To a certain degree we'd like to start our collection all over again and just work on obtaining the pieces that we want/wanted the most. Since we can't though, we figure getting the collection down to the "bare bones" is the next best thing.

The real question at this point is though, can we do it? Given both our attachment to most our collection, the disinterest of most people and our avoidance of ebay, it may be difficult.

Which calls into question is it really worth it to go ahead and do it. Or will we just regret it later? I suppose that's an "only time wil tell us" answer. For now we're going to go for because, at this point in our lives, we just can't afford to maintain such a large collection while constantly adding new pieces. Also the majority of our new art has been vasly over shadowing the older art in terms of the quality of the artwork and our feeling towards them (of course this isn't alway the case) so it's just time to move on and enter a new phase of collecting. Or so I'd like to think anyway.

Meanwhile, while we decide what we'd most like to see find new homes we're also willing to put prices on any remaining gallery cels that aren't ANFS and including most NFS pieces. Ideally we'd like to have the majority of it done by June so we have plenty of space for our pending and future purchases. ^_^

Additionally if anyone else has gone through a similar total shift in collecting we'd love to hear on ideas that would make it easier. ~_^
