There's nothing really going on out of the ordinary here. This happens to at least
one "large collection" person a year, if not more.
I stated my reasons - I live in a 2BR apt, and I'm looking at buying a house (this
was a longtime wish, but just recently has it become a possibility within a year or
2). If I do, it will be ALL the way across the country, so I need to pare my
collection down to a "measly" 200-300K bricks or so to make the move managable.
And I'm tired of literally having a tiny aisleway through every room of the apt
except the kitchen and bedroom (NOT the master bedroom - that one was taken by Lego
and computers from day one). I want an apt I can actually invite people into and
have room for them to sit down (I'm being completely serious when I say the ONLY
place guests could currently sit down now would be in the bedroom on the bed, or
out on the porch).
Just ask Russell Clark about how out of control my collection has gotten. Last
time he saw my place, it was mild compared to now, and I really haven't bought much
Lego in the last 6 months.
I'm not even close to getting out of Lego, but it's time to get to the point where
I actually know WHAT I have and WHERE it is at all times. That's going to probably
take $1K or more of storage drawers alone, and I'll have to sell off a good bit of
Lego to pay for those drawers and have the room to actually put them anywhere.
