Another consideration is resale. I realize when I win some auctions that I am probably not going to recoup my investment when I sell, but I also win some auctions 'knowing' I will do well breaking down the lots and reselling. In the end it seems to even out or make a modest profit. I just take it case by case. I've had some of my cards since I was a kid, some of them since I was a young adult at my first job with more money [a laughably small amount but seemed immense after 7 years of living the life of a poor student] than I could spend, and others I go into and get out of virtually overnight.

In the end it is all just 'stuff' and I try never to let having stuff trump having a life. There was a fellow here, now not, who publicly espoused the opposite view and he led a sad little life indeed.
