I enjoy the hunt quite a bit. Its literally thrilling to me to:
-see something I have never seen before, or
-see something for sale that rarely comes up for sale, or
-see something for sale I see often, but in considerably better condition, or
-see something I see often for sale at a high price, but now priced at a point where I could possibly obtain it.

When I can actually put hands on the item as the new owner, the feeling is a mix of awe, wonder, amazement, and pure satisfaction! That is the hunt for me.

I actually do enjoy owning the item then for quite some time, and will only consider selling if it no longer fits a collecting focus, which for me seems rare!

On the rare occasions I have sold items, though, occasionally I have experienced sellers remorse. This is especially true when I have a "new" collector focus that includes the item I just got rid of. Because of how I obtained the item in the first place, its extremely unlikely I will see another, in the same condition, at the same or better price, without substantial effort on my part, which causes me a mix of frustration and annoyance with myself. Better to keep and enjoy everything you buy!
