While I am far from old, I am getting to a point of being ready to downsize. I have been looking at some of the stuff I have collected and realize that it is stuff while I may want to use, it is unlikely that I ever will. Life keeps getting busier and we are traveling more and more. We both remote work and want to spend more time on the road.
I am in a good place financially so I would not be selling because I need the money. I would be keeping all of my "core" stuff.
One example is in .30 caliber AP bullets. I have about 400 of these sitting in a box ready to load. They would be handy in a SHTF situation, I am not sure I will ever get around to loading them. While money is not an issue, they are now worth between $400-600 looking at completed auctions on GB. Another is the 3000 cast .38 bullets I have. I had intended to get a nice 6-8" .357 with a 2x scope for fun cheap plinking, well that has been at least 15 years ago. While I do have some .357 guns I have plenty of loaded ammo and if I needed more I would just pick up a couple of boxes of jacketed bullets later in life.
I have also got lots of little odds and ends.
At what point do you start downsizing?
