I think in my case it comes from two things. First, most of my setup is vintage/analog and even gear I’m not super crazy about tends to have some unique quality to it. This coupled with the current market means that if I sell something, I’m probably not going to be getting it back. This means that unless I really don’t get along with a piece, it stays. Secondly, I tend to not purchase impulsively. I heavily research and consider each thing before I buy it. This means I seldom have anything that doesn’t fit some perceived need or niche. This makes sales hard as well. Another minor aspect is that I am fundamentally lazy and really don’t need much anymore. This means that unless the sale brings huge proceeds to fund something really sexy, I just can’t be bothered.</span></font></p>
