Bob I have done a similiar declutter though nobody would notice. Mine is health related and no longer seemed important to hang onto stuff I will never be able to use again, except my good astrogear which i could never hope to replace if things improve for me (doubtful) and i cant yet bear to part with them. I basically gave stuff away (i'm not money obsessed and selling would be stressful) so i'm thinking of donating my c11 setup one day to where it would be used). But you have 15 scopes left still? wow, I havent been that bad, still want to get a 8" dob just because i only have a tabletop dob but cant use on table and want to try a larger dob, eyeing off one a neighbor keeps on his balcony and suffers all the abuses of weather, hoping it'll appear out by the bins one day. now my stamp colllection is staying put (it has a room of its own and about one square metre of floor space so room for another pile of boxes still in there
hope you put your reclaimed land to good use.
