I am an ex-collector

In this thread I mentioned I had carted everything to a local dealer with the idea of selling. Well, I picked up a check this afternoon, shook the man's hand, said "Thank you!" and walked out without looking back. For the most part it's been fun but it's time to get out.
Thank all of you for your help and good luck with your collecting!

I suppose if you no longer enjoy it, getting out may not be a bad idea.

What? This guy means business. I am too chicken to go cold turkey.
You think you can just leave like that? You'll collect until we tell you to stop and you'll like it! Punk!
One less local collector

You wil be back soon.......nice try!!!
that way you would only have a handful of coins and really no
need to sell them.
but since you accumulated a bunch of stuff??? you felt strained by
it and let it go?
If you were a collector and not just an accumulator/investor, you will be back. Once bitten by the coin bug, you are marked for life.
to contemplate starting over. Then, 3 years ago, I went to a flea market with my wife and daughter and came across a "junk" dealers
table and was stopped cold at the sight of a very average, non-descript 1943 Walking Liberty Half. Bought 3 coins and a Dansco album
and was off to the races again.

Have any collectors quit and not come back?
Goodbye, brother. We all have to move on sometime.

Me too. I didn't even consider selling my Dansco 7070.
It would be too much work to glue all those slabs back together

that would be almost as pathetic as the rash of "I'm leaving this place" threads which were common several years ago.
so, who's next???

I hope you've enjoyed the ride. Take some time and relax.
Godspeed

I doubt you should have "thanked" your local B&M shop for buying everything in one shot. More than likely he get a far better deal than you did.
I agree!
