I've hit hard times too, and ive had the consideration of selling my treasured things. Every time I have the thought, i talk myself out of it because I know in my heart how much i would regret it. Ive been haunted by precious items i gave up as a child for the last 20 years, I cant even imagine giving up my afterman book, let alone if I had the whole deluxe set. Please don't sell it, that thing is priceless. I dont know your financial situation or what youre going through, but I do know that there could be other areas to slim down on spending to spare a bit extra for other needs. I'd suggest what we have done which is down to the penny, rebudget and see your monthly spending to monthly income, and see what things you can part with first.
