Have You Had Sellers Regret?
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum area...
Context: I do collect posters for every Pearl Jam show I go to. I do the same with a few other bands that have gig posters.
I have an opportunity to sell a gig poster (non PJ) for upwards of $2000. I'm surprisingly not attached to the poster, and am blown away that it's a minor grail in some circles. I'm already missing 2-3 posters of my 25 shows this band, so I don't even have a complete collection. I could find the missing ones, I'm sure - but I haven't really taken the time or saved the cash.
I'd be using the funds from this for an awesome vacation. If I was just paying off bills and reducing some debt, I wouldn't sell in a million years. I do however, like that it would directly fund an experience I'd love to do and not incur extra debt.
Anyway, my question is, has anyone sold a poster and then lived to regret it? And not in the sense of, "I sold Moline for $500 and 2 years later it's worth $1500...(we've all been there)
I'm wondering if anyone has sold a poster and been mad at themselves for letting it go?

Do what feels right. If you're not particularly attached to the poster, it seems like a no brainer to me.
Sell it.

however, if you started this thread, it's likely you already know the answer:
you'll have a fantastic time on your vacation, you'll convince yourself you don't regret it, but then 2 years from now you'll be ISO this poster again at twice the price you can get for it now.
go on the vacation anyway. just formulate a budget and commit to paying down a small line of credit with very small interest rate over the next year or two.
if you can't do that, sell the poster.

It was a weird feeling, I thought I had way too much of this Mason's RootBeer stuff, I didnt know what to do with it. But as soon as I sold a small fraction of what I had I missed all the memories of getting them through the years. The key was I had memories associated with a lot of it and it reminds me of my parents. If I didn't, I wouldn't care. And if I could sell something that would pay for a trip that brings new memories with my family I would do that.
I might thin the herd again soon.

Where are said items going up for sale???? I imagine you've got some great stuff and would love to get a crack at it. Will there be a tempo n groove pop up shop?
The other thing I did sell personally, and it was another gift from my father. It was a Georges Chanot violin that helped me pay some bills while I figured out what the hell I wanted to do with my life. I sold it to Ilya Rutman in Boston around 2003, maybe 2004. I'll never learn to play the violin, but it would be nice to have around in case my kids decide to take up the instrument.
Also, I miss my father, and I still haven't figured out what the hell I want to do with my life.
