You are a KEEPER or a SELLER?

Everyone tends to collect stuff. But some are better at shedding excess stuff than others. I find it hard to sell stuff nowadays.. I can remember stuff I DID own and sold, much to my later regret. And stuff I bought and for my life can't figure out what I was thinking when I bought THAT chunk of junk. So my question is;
Are you a KEEPER, or a SELLER? or a little of both?'Just how many extra bits and do-dads do we each have tucked away? Some have dozens of slightly used cartridges in a cigar box. Other had a garage filled with exotic electronics. Another piles of cables.. Some all of everything.Then those spare, remarkable folks who have one perfect system with NO junk in storage.
Anyway, i have extra stuff. i currently own FIVE turntables and tell myself constantly to sell at least two of them.. I have two amps, three preamps, seven Cd spinners... A closetshelf full of various interconnects (I just hate them getting tangled up)
Extra powerline conditioners, I have way too many..
Stuff i WISH I had: piles of NOS tubes.. A few more great carts.. just to sit there...
This is all BESIDES the music.
What've YOU got?

I only collect cats. And newspapers. And twist-ties. And pretty seashells. And... oh never mind.

Eb, and Flow. Keep a few pieces, sell a few pieces. I sold two pieces this week, and found three. I buy to sell often, and rarely find anything I like that I can find cheap. Everything else is tested, and finds a home.
It is nice to have a few extra nice units. Especially as backups. I have never had a unit fail on me yet, and everything I own is older. No tube units.

Seller, definitely and the reason is room. Living in the UK, we do not have as much storage space as you guys. That is a useful discipline. I have one of everything I need, well not CDs and LPs , I have more than one of those. My shelf space is full to, so my software buying is right down.
