Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?


It Maybe a little strange to ask this question here since clearly this is a forum for folks still loving and using Vinyl.
So I am looking for some feedback from folks that play very little of their LPs these days and have decided to sell all of it (or already have). I have thought about it for years seems like a hassle trying to sell your TT and or your record collection, that is mainly why mine stays put (not because I use it).

Anyway if you have sold - (Not if you’re keeping it forever)

Have you regretted it?
Or is to nice to reduce the clutter and happily move on?

Some people would never sell their analog rig and collection, I get that.

Yep. The record collection went in 1991. Don't miss the snap, crackle, pop, and like the space savings. Still have the TT (NAD w/Shure V15 Type V) because I was too lazy to dig it out of storage to see if it was worth anything. Next move it'll go. I have no interest in vinyl. My whole collection fits on a flash drive now.

To me, LPs and CDs are like ANALOG PHONES and FILM CAMERAS...
JUST OUTDATED..

...Turntables have an aesthetic, tactile and engineering appeal to many of us that no CD player or iphone app can replicate.

I guess that’s what I don’t get. I couldn’t care less about the gear. I just care about the sound. To me that’s the whole point of the gear - to produce sound. And convenience comes in a close second. Love the fact I can voice-control everything. But I don’t get the fascination with expensive mechanical watches either. I guess I’m a function over form person. I like my art old and my functional stuff up-to-date.
