For me a combination of GAS and mental illness leads to some poor purchasing decisions

Only thing I ever tried to sell here was Miro 2 crossgrade. Just as IK knocked the price down to some ridiculous amount. I wasn't giving it away, so I still have it. I've thought of selling my VSL stuff, but it is a combination of the dongle, sticks and online downloads that would be annoying to transfer. Not cheap, either, so I keep that. Not toooo many remorseful purchases. Maybe I'm just blocking them out. Guitars were another matter entirely.

I don't resell software very much, but hardware on the other hand... 
I've resold or traded 104 Eurorack modules over 3 years, plus some pedals and other stuff.
Reselling hardware makes more sense to me than reselling software:
-- Hardware's generally more expensive and holds more resale value. In a few cases I've resold hardware for more than I paid (when buying used). Often software just doesn't seem worth reselling, given license transfer fees and the way the used software market works.
-- There are no demos for hardware, unless you happen to live near a good shop. It's cheaper for me to buy something, try it, and resell it than it is to take a weekend trip to Chicago to haunt its synth stores.
-- Hardware takes up physical space and reminds you with its presence and coating of dust that you're not using it. A plugin can lurk unused and harmless on your hard drive, just waiting for its moment.
There are of course some cases where reselling software makes sense. I've done it... but my big purge last year, of a software collection dating back to 2003, was only about $370 (plus donations to the charity auction that brought in about $150).
