I must be the odd one out. Whilst I wouldn't want to sell the gear I am currently using - I often gift my old gear to any friend that appears interested and needy.
I find I get a kick out of knowing stuff I can no longer justify has made somebody else quite happy!
A quick top of head count would reveal I've freed one OTA, one computerised CG5 mount, 1 laptop, two speakers, one hugemoungus rear projection Sony TV, 5 PCs and monitors, two dvd players, two binoculars, one spotting scope and a half dozen Plossl eye pieces.
Maybe I love buying and upgrading and hate selling? I love gifting where you can see it is really appreciated and unexpected by the folks who receive it. To me that is worth much more than some cash; I'd hate to think my possessions own and control me; they're are just gadets with a shelf life and I am sure I have a bad hoarding instinct that I won't let control me!
