Does it hurt when you sell at a loss?


I've been into this audio hobby for 30 years, and I am afraid to actually tally up the money I have spent, as well as the money I have lost when I have either sold or traded in equipment. I'm sure there are other hobbies and habits that can cost quite a bit, but I have to wonder, when I see a Linn CD12 up for sale for 11k, does the original owner actually lose 9k in the process. How does everyone justify this behavior, or are we trapped psychologically somehow?
Thanks I would appreciate some feedback.

Luis your solid state isn't necessarily "lesser" at all; many of us prefer solid state for numerous reasons. Myself I swear *at* tube equipment, not by it. But others love it & that's fine for them; I'm glad they're happy & I'm glad that I'm happy too. I don't bash those who prefer glassware, just don't understand them, but that's cool. It's whatever sound that you prefer: that's what's best - for *you*.
